About Piranha Plant amiibo

Piranha Plant is the recurring Mario-line plant-enemy that's been in every mainline Mario game since Super Mario Bros. (1985 NES), where it spawns from green warp-pipes and tries to bite Mario as he passes. The Smash Ultimate inclusion (2019) was the franchise's first roster-fighter to be a generic-enemy-not-a-character. The inclusion-announcement was widely-considered Sakurai's quietest joke about what counts as a 'character' in a fighting game. The amiibo released April 12, 2019.

In Smash Ultimate his FP trains with the distinctive enemy-converted-to-fighter moveset: Ptooie neutral-special-spit-and-juggle-spike-ball, Poison Breath side-special-cloud, Piranhacopter up-special-recovery, Long-Stem Strike down-special-extending-bite. The moveset is built entirely around enemy-themed combat.

He pairs with Mario Smash, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Yoshi, and the broader Mario-line Smash cluster.
