Specials
Neutral Special: Ptooie Spew
Piranha Plant spits out a spike ball and keeps it suspended by blowing air upwards.
Inputting left or right makes Piranha Plant blow the spike ball forward or backward.
Holding "B" keeps the spike ball afloat, but releasing makes Piranha Plant swallow it.
(Origin: Super Mario World)

Side Special: Venomous Jaws
Piranha Plant spits out a blob of poison from their mouth and onto the ground.
If held, they spew out a cloud of poison gas. Both linger on the stage for seven seconds.
(Origin: Super Mario Odyssey & Paper Mario (64))

Up Special: Piranhacopter
Piranha Plant rapidly rotates their leaves in a propeller-like motion, quickly rising upward.
If "B" is pressed again during their flight, they drop their flower pot/ warp pipe below themselves.
(Origin: Super Mario World)

Down Special: Frost Breath
Piranha Plant sucks some air into their mouth, then exhales a cloud of cold air that freezes opponents.
If used while midair, Piranha Plant exhales while upside-down, sending the cloud of cold air downward.
(Origin: Paper Mario (64))

Shield Special: Elasto-Chomp
Piranha Plant retracts into their flower pot/ warp pipe, then extends their stalk as they prepare to bite.
The longer it's charged, the longer Piranha Plant's stalk gets. The attack can be aimed by using the Left Stick.
(Origin: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)

Final Smash: Petey Piranha
Piranha Plant summons Petey Piranha, who stomps around the stage and twirls around with cages in his hands.
If the opponents are hit by either of these attacks, they get buried by his feet or get trapped in one of his cages.
After five seconds, Petey Piranha breathes fire into the cages, then slams the cages on the ground and leaves.
The Left Stick can be used to move Petey Piranha around and holding "A" or "B" makes his jump height greater.
