Piranha Plant | Nintendo amiibo Releases | NintendoReporters

 [![Piranha Plant](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/piranha-plant.png "Piranha Plant")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/piranha-plant.png)Series: Super Smash Bros.
Release Date: 02/14/2019
Presented by: Nintendo

These vicious, plantlike baddies are from the Super Mario™ series and typically hide in pipes. They emerge with mouths open, awaiting victims. A poorly timed jump means a chomping—hence the “piranha” name. While there have been exceptions, they generally don’t appear if Mario waits on top of or just next to a pipe. They hate fireballs.
