'''Mom Piranha''' is a giant [[Piranha Plant]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. During the events of the game it takes up residence in a large egg on the runway at the [[Beanbean International Airport]]. She sends her offspring to take root in the runway, preventing planes from landing or taking off. Thus [[Princess Peach]], who is going to attend an important meeting with [[Queen Bean]] and [[Prince Peasley]], is unable to land her plane. It is up to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to get rid of the enemies. To achieve that, Mario has to drink water from one of the nearby fountains and spit it on the Piranha offspring, soaking it and making it swell up and turn a dull turquoise color. Luigi then has to shock the plant with his [[Thunderhand]]. Since the offspring is connected to Mom Piranha, the electricity surges through the roots of the Piranha Plants and into her egg, causing it to crack open, one bit at a time. | '''Mom Piranha''' is a giant [[Piranha Plant]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

Trivia
- Mom Piranha is like Megasmilax and Lava Piranha from previous Mario RPGs.
- Strangely, in the US version of the game if the Mom Piranha was defeated when she was purple, she would give out no coins.
