A Polluted Piranha Plant, originally known as a Gatekeeper[1][2] and also known as a Proto Piranha or Proto Piranha Plant,[3] is a large species of Piranha Plant made up of goop. They first appear in Super Mario Sunshine, in which they are featured as mini-bosses.

History

Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, Polluted Piranha Plants appear out of Goop Generators in several areas towards the beginning of the game. To get the Polluted Piranha Plant to come out of its base, Mario has to spray it with FLUDD until it comes out. In order to defeat one, Mario must use FLUDD to shoot water into its open mouth repeatedly. If Mario sprays one while its mouth is closed, it merely shrugs the attack off. Once defeated, Polluted Piranha Plants dissolve into goop, after which their base disappears; Mario cannot wash away a goop base like he can with normal goop. Aside from periodically spawning Swoopin' Stus, a Polluted Piranha Plant does nothing to attack, and will actually retreat back into its base if Mario does not defeat it in time. There are three types of Polluted Piranha Plants in the game:

  • Pink, yellow, orange, and white Polluted Piranha Plants are the most basic variant, needing to be sprayed three times to be defeated. Only one appears at the Delfino Airstrip at the beginning of the game.
  • The brown and white variants are found in Delfino Plaza's square and during the first episode of Bianco Hills, Road to the Big Windmill. Like the above variant, it requires three sprays to be defeated. The one in Bianco Square will send out Swoopin' Stus if left alone, and the one in Bianco Hills sends out Piranhabons rolling down the hill.
  • The black variants are only found in Delfino Plaza, covering the boathouse to Ricco Harbor when the player has three Shine Sprites, and the lighthouse to Gelato Beach when the player has five Shine Sprites. These require six sprays to defeat, and send out Swoopin' Stus. The one guarding the lighthouse will additionally send out a wave of Swoopin' Stus in every direction after the third spray. Additionally, they can replenish goop sprayed away from directly around their bases. However, despite blocking access to new levels, they do not have to be fought as they will vanish upon obtaining a Shine Sprite.

The brown Polluted Piranha Plant in Bianco Hills is the only one that can be fought multiple times, due to it being the only one in a replayable episode and the rest being fought in Delfino Plaza or Delfino Airstrip to unlock portals to other areas.
