''' Naval Piranha''' is the | '''Naval Piranha''' is a reoccurring [[Piranha Plant]] boss. She started out as a normal Piranha Plant, but was altered by [[Kamek|Kamek Koopa]]'s magic during the events of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. She grew to gigantic proportions, with long thorny stocks and two secondary [[Lava Bud]]s. As her name suggests, Naval Piranha inhabits the water. In battle, she spits out Nipper Plants; it is unknown if they could grow into large, water-dwelling plants like Naval Piranha. | ||
Another Piranha Plant boss that is similar in appearance to Naval Piranha appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It is called [[Lava Piranha]], and in accordance with its name, it inhabits lava instead of water. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Yoshi's Island''=== | |||
Naval Piranha is the boss of World 3-8 in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and reprises the role later in the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] remake. After being magically enlarged and enhanced, she battles the Blue Yoshi, who shoots eggs at her only weak-point: the bandaged stub of a third Naval Bud. After being hit with enough eggs, Naval Piranha succumbs to the abuse and is defeated. | |||

A famous cheat, exclusive to only this boss, is that Yoshi can beat her before the fight even starts. If Yoshi stands on the very edge of the ledge Naval Piranha is rooted to, he can simply throw an egg at her "unmodified" form to defeat her in one hit. A surprised [[Kamek]] will then come in, scream "OH MY!!!" and fly off again. | |||
===''Tetris Attack''=== | |||
In ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', Naval Piranha, allied with her [[Naval Bud]]s, is in the tenth level and the last boss of Easy Vs. mode. She frequently uses hearts in her dialogue, and calls Yoshi "Babeh." | |||
===''Mario Party Advance''=== | |||
Naval Piranha makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' as a boss. The end of game credits say she now lives and thrives in the desert. | Naval Piranha makes a reappearance in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' as a boss. The end of game credits say she now lives and thrives in the desert. | ||
== | ==Gender== | ||
Like [[Birdo]] and [[Vivian]], Naval Piranha has had some controversy surrounding her gender in the past. In the original ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Naval Piranha's gender was not mentioned, and since there was no visible evidence that she was a female, most [[players]] referred to Naval Piranha as a "he". Later appearances, however, have stated that Naval Piranha's gender is female. While this may sound strange at first, some species do have separate male and female plants; these are known as [[Wikipedia:Plant_sexuality#Individual_Plant_Sexuality|dioecious plants]]. Other [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] plant individuals with definate genders include [[Petey Piranha]] and [[Hayzee]]. | |||
