'''Prickly Piranha Plants'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 29.</ref> are a purple variant of [[Big Piranha Plant]] first appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are bigger, purple Piranha Plants whose stems are covered in spikes. To attack, a Prickly Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. It can be defeated by hitting it with [[Stretch Plant]]s, by stomping it after it has slammed its head on the ground or shooting it with a fireball as [[Fire Mario]]. Some are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[Sproutle Vine]] grow so Mario (or Luigi) can proceed. Shooting one with a [[Star Bit]] makes the Prickly Piranha Plant act immediately.

They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same behavior, though they are very rare. One appears in [[Throwback Galaxy]] near the elevator and another appears in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]]. The game also introduces a new variation called the [[Spiny Piranha Plant]], which attacks in a similar way, but is black and cannot be stomped due the spikes on its head. There is only one Spiny Piranha Plant in the game, in [[Sky Station Galaxy]].

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Prickly Piranha Plant
The Prickly Piranha Plant in Sky Station Galaxy

The Prickly Piranha Plant attacks in the same way as its purple counterpart: slamming its head onto the ground. However, unlike the purple counterpart, the player cannot jump on it due to its spikes and must use the nearby rubbery bulb to defeat it by hitting its head when it is down on the ground. This enemy only appears in Sky Station Galaxy during the Storming the Sky Fleet mission, where it holds a key to the locked up Power Star nearby and must be defeated.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Plant becomes a small Prickly Piranha Plant for its side smash attack.[3] In Palutena's Temple, Prickly Piranha Plants (just called Prickly Piranhas) are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
