The potted Piranha Plant also appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its enhanced port, ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as an item. The Piranha Plant is set up in front of the user, biting opponents, items such as [[Banana]]s, [[Blooper]]s, shells, and objects such as [[coin]]s and traffic cones that they pass until its timer runs out and it disappears. The timer is also reduced faster every time that the Piranha Plant bites. It also gives the user a speed boost every time it lunges out to chomp, which it automatically does every few seconds. The player can manually force it to chomp by pressing {{button|l}}. If the player holds {{button|l}}, the Piranha Plant will constantly bite at the road ahead. The plant can only chomp items that are in front of it and slightly to the side, meaning that the player can be hit from other directions. In this game, the pot has wheels on the side. These wheels turn sideways when going into [[anti-gravity]]. The Piranha Plant will spin around as the result of a [[trick]]. | The potted Piranha Plant also appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its enhanced port, ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as an item.

In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the Piranha Plant is used in the game's exclusive battle mode, Renegade Roundup, to capture opponents on the other team. In that mode, the Piranha Plants have a strobe light on top of their head. When an opponent is nearby its strobe light will turn on and its siren will blare. The color of the Piranha Plant and its strobe light varies depending on which team it is on. If a player with a Piranha Plant is hit with an item in this mode, stars will appear over the Piranha Plant's head to indicate that it is stunned and unable to capture an opponent. If the player drives into a wall or rim, the Piranha Plant will disappear until the player drives away from the wall or rim. In the North American overview trailer, the item is misspelled '''Pirahna Plant'''.<ref>Nintendo. (March 10, 2017).
