Since its release, Piranha Plant has seen low tournament representation, and although it has seen success from players such as {{Sm|Brood}} and {{Sm|Lucky|p=Minnesota}}, it is considered a fairly weak character in competitive play.

==Piranha Plant using Clown Car==
Even though Piranha Plant does not use some sort of vehicle in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, animation files of Bowser Jr’s can be found in Piranha Plants coding, suggesting that the development team used {{SSBU|Bowser Jr}} as a starting point and worked off of him when creating Piranha Plant. This could mean that if Piranha Plant was built off of Bowser Jr, maybe Nintendo originally intended for the Piranha  plant it to be in a Koopa Clown Car, in similar vein to Bowser Jr.
This being the case, maybe the Clown Car was how Piranha Plant achieved mobility and that the idea was scrapped later on in development to give the plant more personality. All of this could mean that the anonymous 4chan user could’ve been referring to an earlier build of Piranha Plant, in which it still used a Koopa Clown Car vehicle.
Piranha Plant does has an unused animation for a third jump, whenever this is related to the Koopa Clown Car is unknown. If it is related to the Clown Car, the third jump animation has the chance that it could’ve been used in the Clown Cars Up Special move, in which it might’ve performed a jump like move, or just that the Clown Car could perform 2 midair jumps instead of the basic 1. This may not be the case as Bowser Jr’s Junior Clown Car can only perform 1 midair jump.
This could all be incorrect seeming that originally, the speed attribute for Piranha Plant was the lowest of any fighter, meaning the plant moved the slowest. This may or may not counteract with the Clown Car theory. The speed attribute, being extremely low, could mean that the Piranha Plant intended to move by hopping from place to place. This would fit a low speed attribute. Either this or that the Clown Car was extremely slow at moving. The speed attribute could just be a place holder value and was never intended to be used in-game.
