Trivia
- Piranha Plant's official artwork has a UV Mapping error near the base of its pot, where the texture appears to squish vertically.
- Despite the fanbase's bewildered reaction to Piranha Plant's reveal, Masahiro Sakurai stated in an interview that he does not aim to surprise players, stating that "The surprise element quickly fades once the announcement has been made. Rather, I believe it’s important to have a good balance as a game. In the past titles in the series, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B. and Duck Hunt Dog were some of the examples we offered outside of people’s typical expectations. However, if we don’t have these types of fighters, and we only had typical “hero/heroine” type fighters in the lineup, there’s not much difference. It’s probably not very interesting. Correct? Also, unlike some main characters from some (not widely known) franchises, Piranha Plant is a character everyone knows well." [1]
- Piranha Plant is the first newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to have all its alternate costumes shown in its reveal trailer; in fact, they were all shown in one shot, excluding the main.
- Bowser Jr. was the first character this happened with, when he was revealed in his trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
- Piranha Plant is the first playable character to be a mob.
- In addition, Ultimate is the first time a generic Piranha Plant has been playable in any game. However, Petey Piranha, a Piranha Plant himself, has been playable in various Mario spin-off games; Fire Piranha Plants are capturable by in Super Mario Odyssey; and Fire Stalking Piranha Plants are playable in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser and Bowser Jr.'s Journey.
- Piranha Plant is the first (and only, so far) playable character who isn't a Pokémon in the Smash Bros. series to be referred to with gender-neutral pronouns, barring the error in which Dark Samus was referred to as "it" until the mistake was corrected.
- Piranha Plant is the second DLC character to be free for a limited time after launch, the first being Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. 4.
- Both characters were first to be released as DLC in their respective games.
- Piranha Plant is the first original newcomer in Ultimate to not have a CGI reveal trailer.
- Although red Piranha Plants are usually depicted residing in a pipe in official Mario artwork, the red Piranha Plant is never in a pipe in Ultimate, only in a pot.
- The splash art for Piranha Plant is so far the only one that uses a different font, opposite to the font "DF Gothic Japanese" that was used in every single splash art since Super Smash Bros. 4.
- Along with Robin, Piranha Plant is one of the only characters with a victory pose that features a seperate character (in this case, Mario).
- When entering World of Light after obtaining Piranha Plant, the player will only get a message saying “You can now play as Piranha Plant”. However, when you start a new file, Piranha Plant isn’t obtained from the start.
