Template:Species-infobox The Pit Plant[1] is a dark green colored variety of Piranha Plant with spikes on its head. It appears only in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in Dry Dry Desert, where it is located in the quicksand pit waiting for racers to fall in.

Though Dry Dry Desert returns as a retro course in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Pit Plant is absent as Lakitu pulls the player out of the pit before they fall in.

It is inspired by the real-life antlion.[2] Similarly-acting regular Piranha Plants also appear in Yoshi Desert in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, although they spit out the karts they eat.
