Piranha Pods | Piranha Pods make their debut appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in the levels [[Blooming Lakitus]], and in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in the levels [[Spinning Sandstones]] and [[Beanstalk Jungle]]. Here, Piranha Pods are thrown by the Lakitus that occasionally show up in these levels where, after bouncing off the ground slightly, become a [[Piranha Plant]] that remains stationary on the ground. Piranha Pods can be defeated in the same ways a Spiny Egg can be defeated, including shooting a [[fireball]] at them with [[Fire Mario]] or touching them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. | ||

Piranha Pods reappear on the [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] board in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', replacing the Strawberry Seeds from the original ''[[Mario Party]]'', though they are still referred to as '''strawberries'''. In-game, the term is used liberally to refer to both the pod itself and the Piranha Plant that grows out of it, while a [[Play Nintendo]] article reserves "strawberry" for the Piranha Pods.<ref>[https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-party-superstars-tips-5-boards/ ''Five boards, five tips''].

They come in two sizes, small (costing 5 coins) and large (costing 30 coins). Small Piranha Pods grow into regular Piranha Plants, while large Piranha Pods grow into [[Big Piranha Plant]]s. | |||
