In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the potted [[Potted Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'' appears as an item. The Piranha Plant will attack nearby racers, as well as coins or any items on the ground, giving the user a speed boost every time it lunges forward. The item is time-based, and a small portion is cut off whenever the plant lunges forward, either at regular 2-second intervals, or by manually chomping. The Piranha Plant's pot features tiny wheels for it to move. When the player does a trick, the Piranha Plant will spin, doing a trick of its own. If it or the player gets hit with an item or hazard, it will be stunned for a bit. Piranha Plants are able to eat [[Blooper]]s before they spray their ink onto the screen. | In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the potted [[Potted Piranha Plant|Piranha Plant]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'' appears as an item.

Piranha Plants are also used in | Piranha Plants are also used in [[Battle Mode#Renegade Roundup|Renegade Roundup]], a battle mode found exclusively in the game's [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. In that mode, the Piranha Plants have a strobe light on top of their head, and are used by the 'police' players to capture the 'criminal' players on the other team. As either team can be Red or Blue, blue Piranha Plants appear in this mode to match. | ||
As obstacles, | As obstacles, Piranha Plants appear as both the pipe variant and the more stationary ground variant. The pipe variants appear in [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] (where they are pink in color), [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}, where they face in one direction, making them similar to their ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' behavior; in {{classic-link|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, and {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, where they periodically switch direction like in the original Piranha Plant Slide; and in {{classic-link|3DS|Music Park}}, where they dance to the beat like in the original Music Park. The stationary variants can be found on {{classic-link|N64|Royal Raceway}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} and {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}}, as well as in the background of [[Shy Guy Falls]] and {{classic|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}. In [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]], a non-piped variant that behaves like the pipe variants appears attached to the underside of the tree trunk arch before the water section, similar to how Piranha Plants may be positioned in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', even using sound effects from that game. | ||
In [[Electrodrome]], [[Raving Piranha Plant]]s appear as obstacles, dancing to the beat and behaving like the ones on Music Park. In [[Bone-Dry Dunes]], a [[Bone Piranha Plant]] replaces the usual variant. In [[Hyrule Circuit]], Piranha Plants are replaced by [[Deku Baba]]s, of which two appear. [[Ptooie]]s appear in {{classic-link|GBA|Riverside Park}}, unique to this game only. The [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s from {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}} make their return as well.
