“My piranha plant will gobble you up and show you what's what!”

—Kamek, Yoshi's New Island

Spike the Piranha is the boss of Acorn Forest in Yoshi's Crafted World. He is a large Piranha Plant who is created after Kamek enchants a party ball.

Appearance

Spike is made of a party ball, acorns, and some thorns; the thorns and acorns form his stem, and the two halves of the party ball form his head. Spike also has cardboard teeth and two leaves.

Battle

Spike's first attack is shooting blue spike balls and three Shy Guys at Yoshi. Next, he spits out five seeds, which turn into party balls with either Shy Guy or spike ball symbols on them. If Yoshi throws an egg at the Shy Guy ball, it pops open to reveal the enemy. If Yoshi attacks the party ball depicting a spike ball, a spike ball falls on Spike's head and damages him. After getting hit, Spike goes into the background and sends waves of Naval Bud-like plants towards Yoshi. The buds then hang down into the foreground and spit out blue spike balls that roll, bouncing red spike balls, and Shy Guys. Spike jumps back into the foreground towards Yoshi, but gets stuck, and the party balls re-appear. If Yoshi attacks Spike again, he goes into the background and sends out three waves of buds. He digs to the middle of the stage and spits out red spike balls as more party balls are created. If Yoshi manages to hit the last spike ball, it lands on Spike's head and he falls apart.
