== Piranhacus Giganticus / Giant Piranha Plant ==
In the ''Nintendo Power Strategy Guide'' for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', this enemy is brought up exactly twice, and has a separate name in each instance. Are there any other sources that prefer Piranhacus Giganticus over Giant Piranha Plant (excluding the debatable Big Piranha Plant, which is split on basis of pipe)?

I noticed that the Piranhacus Giganticus in the left picture has different colored lips than the one in the right picture. Does this mean that they might be different species? Is there any proof that they are the same? A Link to the Present 03:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Merge

I think we should merge this with Super Piranha Plant. Who agrees? Astro3000

I don't think so, they're diffirent. Piranhacus Giganticus comes from pipes, while Super Piranha Plant don't. World10 (talk) 12:45, 30 December 2012 (EST)

We really should merge this page with Big Piranha Plant

There is no reason to have them split because a) Piranha Plants in recent games have appeared both in pipes and out of them and b) they both have the same Japanese name (でかパックンフラワー (Deka Pakkunfurawā)). Piranhacus Giganticus is a name that I think was used in official guides for SMB3, and that has been turned obsolete by recent translations.
