'''Boss Piranha Plant''' (sometimes shortened to '''Boss P. Plant''') is an mutant [[Piranha Plant]] similar to [[Petey Piranha]] however he differs from Petey in several ways such as being much smaller and lacking the ability to spit water out. His flights are also more limited and sometimes can only do serial hops. Boss Piranha Plant can also spit out [[Nipper Plant]]s something Petey Piranha could not do as well as summon shockwaves. He can also change color. |

Boss Piranha Plant first appears as a boss in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', residing in [[Ladida Plains]]. He is the first boss of the game, being the boss of Ladida Plains. When Peach arrives she happily approaches an imprisoned Toad but then, Boss Piranha Plant emerges from the ground and swallows the Toad, who is trapped in the ball, and Peach has to defeat Boss Piranha Plant to rescue the Toad. His attacks send shockwaves, pushing back Peach, shooting [[Nipper Plant]]s, shooting one shockwave to the left and one to the right (which can defeat Nipper Plants if there are any not defeated by the princess), and if she is using a vibe power, ending it. Peach has to use her [[Gloom]] vibe to make the two plants grow so that she can leap on a leaf and once again use the vibe to put her streams of tear into Boss Piranha Plant and inflate him, making him fall and reveal his weak spot: his belly button. Peach has to jump on his belly five times to defeat him. After 3 hits, Boss Piranha Plant turns red and becomes faster. Boss Piranha Plant can bounce around, making Peach's attack tough, and additionally send 2 shockwaves to each side. Once defeated, Boss Piranha Plant explodes and the Toad is saved. |

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Boss Piranha Plant is the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]], the snow-ice world. Many [[Piranha Plant]]s appear in Boss Piranha Plant's castle, a subtle hint that he is going to appear as the boss at the end. When he is confronted by Mario or Luigi, he attacks by flying up high, then dropping from the sky, attempting to crush Mario or Luigi beneath him with a move similar to the Ground Pound. Since the floor is made of slippery ice, after attacking, he slips and falls. Then, Mario or Luigi can attack him. After two hits, he starts his attack by jumping from side to side. If Mario defeats him using a [[Mini Mushroom]], he can travel to [[World 7 (NSMB)|World 7]] instead of [[World 6 (NSMB)|World 6]]. However, he is forced to Ground Pound him to inflict damage upon him when tiny. Once defeated, Boss Piranha Plant attempts to get up while glowing a bright white light (similar to Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario's death animations in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''); he soon vanishes, revealing the key. |

Boss Piranha Plant is the only boss of this game (other than [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]]) who can be defeated in one hit with an item other than a [[Mega Mushroom]], although with Boss Piranha Plant, this requires precise timing. The player requires the [[Star]] from the [[Roulette Block]]. It must be grabbed when it bounces near the platform with the [[Super Piranha Plant]]. The player must then quickly run into the door and into Boss Piranha Plant's room. When he starts flying, the player should jump into him before the Star's power runs out, and he will be defeated instantly. |
