Are you sure this is called the Super Piranha Plant?

I am pretty sure it was officially listed as such in the official NSMB player's guide. -- Son of Suns

I think it is called that on the official nintendo site.--Luigibros2 00:12, 22 November 2007 (EST)

On the NSMB World 2-3 link, it links to "Giant" and not "Super". --Big-bang

I though the MKDD Piranha from Dry Dry Desert was called Quicksand Piranha... Vini64

Does anyone know this Piranha Plant's japanese name? -Four Paper Heroes 07:26, 2 February 2011 (EST)

Split?

Should the Piranha Plant from Mario Kart Double Dash really remain merged with this article? I mean look at them, they look and behave completely different from one another and there seems to be no evidence or reason as to why they're merged, even on the article itself its mentioned that part is conjectural. So should there be a proposal for a split or is there a manual or something somewhere that mentions these two are indeed one and the same? -Four Paper Heroes 22:18, 24 November 2011 (EST)

I kinda agree with Four Paper Heroes. If someone knows their japenese name, we should split, as they are very different. ThePremiumYoshi 18:10, 3 December 2011 (EST)

one should vamoose out of the other one's article. TheWho Loves Dots...

TPP: Merge Piranhacus Giganticus with Big Piranha Plant

I already commented about this here a long while ago, and now I'm proposing the merging of these articles for three reasons. First, while Piranhacus Gigantici and Big Piranha Plants are found in pipes and out of them, respectively, the regular Piranha Plants have been seen in both forms, and those two forms are same species. Second, both giant Piranhas have the same Japanese name, でかパックンフラワー (Deka Pakkunfurawā), meaning "Huge Piranha Flower", so the two forms are considered the same species in Japan. Third, the name Piranhacus Giganticus hasn't been used since Super Mario Bros. 3, I believe, and since Big Piranha Plant has been recently used more often and officially, it outrules Piranhacus Giganticus by this wiki's naming policies.

I'm fairly sure that Giganticus was what was used in NSMBU, which would be about as recent as it gets.--Vommack (talk) 13:13, 8 June 2014 (EDT)
