The '''Prickly Piranha Plant'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide. Pages 29, 40 and 42.</ref>, also known as the '''Spiky Piranha Plant'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide. Pages 222 and 225.</ref>, is a variety of [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. There is only one in the entire game, encountered in the [[Sky Station Galaxy]] during the [[Storming the Sky Fleet]] mission.

This enemy holds a key to the locked up [[Power Star]] nearby. It attacks in the same way as its purple variant: slamming its head onto the ground. The player cannot jump on it due to its spikes and must use the nearby [[Stretch Plant]] to defeat it by hitting its head when it is down on the ground. Once the enemy is beaten, Mario can collect the key and obtain the Star.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant becomes a small Prickly Piranha Plant for its side [[Smash attack (move)|smash attack]].<ref>GameXplain (November 1, 2018).
