Piantas appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in one galaxy, the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], which seems to be based on the different areas from [[Isle Delfino]]. They are the only friendly characters not to have a representative on [[Starship Mario]]. The Piantas that appear are all male, and their role is similar to that of the Piantas from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', [[Chuckster|hurling Mario]] to various spots; Mario does not need to initiate a conversation in order to be thrown. Like in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', jumping onto a Pianta results in him yelling at Mario.

For the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Piantas mostly appear as spectators. In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Piantas are spectators in [[GCN Peach Beach|Peach Beach]] and [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]] as well as during the award ceremony in the former course. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Piantas are spectators in [[DS Delfino Square|Delfino Square]], which has a stone Pianta statue around the first loop of the race. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Piantas spectate in two newly added courses, [[Wii Coconut Mall|Coconut Mall]], [[Daisy Circuit]] as well as two [[classic course]]s, {{classic|DS|Delfino Square}} and {{classic|GCN|Peach Beach}}, and the battle course [[Delfino Pier]]. In Coconut Mall, Piantas also indicate which is the correct escalator for racers to use, and one yellow Pianta is the shop assistant of [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart Wii#Delfino Dream|Delfino Dream]], which can be passed through as a shortcut. In all three games, Piantas are featured in the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!#Delfino Fruits|Delfino Fruits]] sponsor, and in ''Mario Kart Wii'', they are also in the [[List of sponsors debuting in Mario Kart Wii#Tropical Grocery|Tropical Grocery]] sponsor in [[Wii Moonview Highway|Moonview Highway]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Piantas neither retain their appearances in {{classic|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}} nor {{classic|Wii|Coconut Mall}}, though they do return in the latter's ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' iteration.<ref>Nintendo (February 9, 2022). [https://youtu.be/1uZDbDoDAq4 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass DLC – Nintendo Switch]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved February 9, 2022.</ref> In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Piantas appear as spectators in [[Sunshine Airport]], {{classic-link|DS|Cheep Cheep Beach}} and [[Super Bell Subway]], as well as in the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''-exclusive {{classic-link|3DS|Wuhu Town}}. Additionally, Super Bell Subway shows Piantas running the cafés throughout the course, and a Pianta is displayed on the sign for the [[List of recurring sponsors in the Mario Kart series#Coconut Cafe|Coconut Cafe]] sponsor, which also appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.
