'''Bungee Piranhas''', or '''Bungee Piranha Plants''', are purple [[Piranha Plant]]s that use their stem as a bungee cord. Bungee Piranha Plants are very similar to [[Elasto-Piranha]]s. They hang on ceilings, waiting for prey (which is usually a [[Yoshi]]) to come along. They then bungee down, attempting to grab their prey. A bigger and boss version called the [[Big Bungee Piranha]] appears in World 2's castle, [[Big Bungee Piranha's Lair]].
'''Bungee Piranhas'''<ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide. Pages 33, 48, 52, 56, 110, 125, 130.</ref><ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 69, 112, 115, 120, 121, 122, 128, 129.</ref> are purple [[Piranha Plant]]s that use their long stem as a bungee cord. They first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They hang on ceilings and wait for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to come; they make a chomping sound to indicate their presence. When a Yoshi approaches, they lunge down and grab a Yoshi, causing the Yoshi to leave their eggs behind. Their stems also have spikes on it, so touching it will harm the Yoshi. A boss version called the [[Big Bungee Piranha]] appears in [[World 2 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 2]]'s [[Castle]], [[Big Bungee Piranha's Lair]]. They appear in [[The Cave That Never Ends]], [[Let There Be Light!]], [[Yoshi on Stilts]], [[Yikes! Boiling Hot!]], [[Big Bungee Piranha's Lair]], [[Moving Statues, Standing Statues]], and [[Superhard Acrobatics!]].


Bungee Piranhas greatly resemble the [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
Bungee Piranhas reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' and behave the same way they did in ''Yoshi's Island DS''. However, their stems are no longer spiky and can be passed through by Yoshi. They also have thin spikes on their heads, although this is more of a visual difference. Bungee Piranhas only appear in [[Jumping to Victory]], where they try to blend in with harmless (regular) Piranha Plant-colored [[Party Ball]]s.


Bungee Piranhas are also confirmed for ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''; this is also their first time appearing in a 3D game. They can eats [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and others playable characters and they lose one up after what Bungee Piranhas eats the heros.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Bungee Piranhas are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]].

The color scheme of Bungee Piranhas resembles the [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and the [[Piranha Creeper]]s from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.
