Lava Piranha, Paper Mario

Lava Piranha is an enormous Piranha Plant boss in Paper Mario who, as its name suggests, dwells in a pool of lava. Lava Piranha bears some resemblance to the boss Naval Piranha from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, except smaller and with fewer buds and tendrils. Lava Piranha has a large tongue and white ring markings instead of filled white spots on its head, like typical Piranha Plants.

Goombario and Koopa Koot refer to Lava Piranha in plural terms, suggesting there is more than one Lava Piranha in existence. Given its Japanese name, this is likely referring to Fire Piranha Plants.[1]

History[edit]

The Lava Piranha featured in Paper Mario is the ruler of Mt. Lavalava on Lavalava Island. It is found in a small lava pool where the other Piranha Plants report to him. Lava Piranha speaks in shouts and shrieks, blathering out insults at Mario when it confronts him for the fifth Star Spirit, Misstar, whom Bowser ordered the fiery Piranha Plant to guard.

Its attacks are rather simple. Most of its attacking is done via Lava Buds, which can spit out Petit Piranhas. When it attacks, it spits out an orb of fire at Mario that does five attack damage to Mario.

After Mario initially defeats Lava Piranha, it suddenly emerges from the lava and gets forty more HP. This time, Lava Piranha's head is on fire and its tongue is sticking out. If Sushie is Ultra-rank, her Tidal Wave ability stuns Lava Piranha for two full turns. After the second round, it slowly falls to the ground and then sinks back into the lava, relinquishing the Star Spirit.

It has a cameo appearance in the credits of Paper Mario, poking its head out from behind Lavalava Island, alternating with Raphael Raven.

In Super Mario-Kun, the Lava Piranha is encountered after Sushie destroys a Spiny Tromp. Mario and his partners attempt to attack it by using a Snowman Doll, but it results in Kooper getting crushed. The Lava Piranha then spews Lava Buds that attack Mario and his partners. Sushie then encases Mario in Water Block and squirts Lava Piranha. Mario walks out of the water block and shouts, distracting Sushie. Lava Piranha then burns and injures Sushie. Despite this, Sushie inflates Mario with water and pushes him to Lava Piranha. Mario bursts, spraying the water over Lava Piranha and thus defeating it.

TattleThis is a Lava Piranha. Lava Piranhas are plants that can somehow survive in lava. Max HP: 40, Attack Power: 5, Defense Power: 0 Since their bodies are on fire, you'll take damage if you step on 'em. Don't worry if you're fireproof. They'll try to burn you with their fire breath. They're creatures born of fire, so water attacks will work extremely well against them.

Burt the Bashful, also spelled Bert the Bashful, is the first mid-boss seen in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island; he is found in Burt The Bashful's Fort half-way through World 1.

Yoshi

Hint: Kill shooting flowers:
Stand besides a shooting flower until its smiling face pops out. When it does, quickly eat a yellow ball and spit it out again. Do this repeatedly until all of the balls are gone. When this is done, every time its head pops out, it should be empty and harmless.

Hint: World 1-7: Easy lives:
Pick up a Rollie-Pollie Guy with your tounge. Do not turn him into an egg or spit him out for anyone until you get to the pipe that spits out Shy-Guys. Once there, spit the Rollie-Pollie Guy out into a 1 (square) hole on the right of the pipe. Once placed, jump onto the platform above and to the right of it. Let the Shy-Guys jump out of the pipe and onto the Rollie-Pollie Guy. Points will accumulate and will eventually give you 1-Ups continually. After a few hours, you will have 999 lives.

Hint: World 1-9: Easy lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the bug that curls when you approach) and take him to the Shy-Guy Pipe (where the Shy Guys appear from). Look up and shoot the bug. If done correctly, the bug should fall in the tiny space on the right side of the pipe, between it and landscape. Stand on the elevated surface and make sure you have no eggs. The Shy Guys will pop out towards you, but hit the bug. You will keep getting extra lives until you have 100. Then, get a perfect completion on World 5 and you will get the roulette game. If you get the X3; you will get 300 lives.

Hint: World 2-3: Use Star through rest of level:
In World 2-3, What's Gusty Taste Like?, collect the Star and run as far as you can, killing the enemies. Go back and wait for the Star to come towards you. Once it bounces back in another area, collect it and run through the rest of the level, and more Stars will be created. At the end of the level, you can collect Coins and Stars from the brick below the last Star. If you do not want to stop, run back to the left and back to the right again. The Star will appear again.

Hint: World 3-1: Hidden area
There is a location in the water in World 3-1 where you can go beneath a land mass to access a hidden area, by jumping off of a giant spring arrow. If you curve to the side and go above the normal hidden entrance, you should enter an area where you will be falling towards nothing. Keep going right (stay in the air as long as possible) until you reach the edge. You will be teleported to World 1-1 (and gain credit toward World 3-1) where you can gain more red coins and hearts than the maximum. It will only go to the top, but it will be 10 times easier to perfect the level.

Hint: World 3-1: Warp to World 5:
On World 3-1, select any character and fall down the waterfall. There is a door at the bottom. Go inside and find the potion. Throw it near the vase and go inside. Enter the vase, which will warp you to World 5.

Hint: World 4-1: Easy lives:
Go up the first steep hill until you get to three pipes and a Koopa walking around. Two will have Piranha plants and one will be a Shy-Guy generator. Throw away an egg so Shy-Guys will start jumping out. Kill the two Piranha plants, eat the Koopa and stand on the pipe. Spit the Koopa shell towards the Shy-Guys. The shell will bounce between the two pipes, knocking out the Shy-Guys. As soon as ten Shy-Guys are knocked out, you will start getting a 1-Up for each consecutive Shy-Guy. The shell will keep bouncing around, killing the Shy-Guys that pop out. You can get up to 999 lives this way.

Hint: World 4-8: Defeating the monstrous Koopa:
When you see the Koopa turn into a giant Koopa, wait for him to pull himself up or quickly throw an egg on its head. Then, throw eggs on its head three times. This will send him to the ground. While he is on the ground, Ground Pound him before he recovers. Repeat this process three times to defeat it. Note: To obtain more eggs, jump onto his shell or on its head. Eggs will be spit out.

Hint: World 5-4: Free mini-games:
Go to a door on your left. Use a POW block or '?' and go to the door and get the secret code. This code will give you free mini-games when you go to the level selection screen.

Yoshi's Island Piranha Boss 3

Hint: World 6-3: Hidden area:
In the second area of World 6-3, jump and touch the left side of the first spinning log, then float to the right and move up against the wall.

Hint: Naval Piranha's Lair: Full stars:
After you go underground in the pipes with water in them, you will reach a place where you hit the arrows with eggs, and you can get the stuff above the water. One of the info blocks always gives you two stars whenever you hit it with an egg. Since there is an egg block near by, you can do this until you have 30 Stars.

Hint: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: Unlimited lives:
Grab a Melon Bug (the creature that rolls up into a ball) and go to the pipe with Shy Guys jumping out of it. Spit the Melon Bug close to the pipe on the left-hand side. When Shy Guys jump out, after a while you will get a '1-Up' for each time a Shy Guy hits the Melon Bug when it is in its melon form.

Hint: Welcome To Cloud World: Followed by eggs:
In this level or any other that has a large fat creature with many following behind it, Ground Pound the large one and the baby ones will follow you as eggs. When you throw one, it will loop and come back to you.

Glitch: Yoshi does flips:
When you find an enemy that you cannot defeat by jumping on them, repeatedly Ground Pound them. It will look as if Yoshi is doing flips on the enemy. Note:You must do this very fast.

PiranhaGlitch: World 11-1: Free roaming Poochy:

Yoshi's Island Piranha Boss 1

In World 1-11, 'Poochy Ain't Stupid', you can have Poochy free roaming without the scrolling course. At the start of the level, keep jumping on Bats without hitting the 'scrolling course barrier' until you get on top of the wall to the wall that is to the left of you at the start of the level. Once on top, jump and keep doing Yoshi's 'flutter' or 'floating' move until you reach what appears to be an island. Land on it. Then, jump off to the right, fluttering until you reach an island surrounded by lava. Poochy should see you and run over. You now can go through the entire course without the scrolling course freely. The only drawback is if you go under the 'island' (second wall), you will hit the 'scrolling course barrier', then must ride Poochy to the end of the course.
