Template:Species-infobox Big Poison Piranha Plants[1] are larger variants of Poison Piranha Plants that appear in Super Mario Odyssey. When they spot Mario, they spit a large ball of poison at him, creating a large puddle of poison if it touches the ground. Throwing Cappy at a Big Poison Piranha Plant causes it to swallow him, momentarily becoming stunned from choking on Cappy, allowing Mario to jump on the plant.

One Big Poison Piranha Plant appears in the Iron Road section of the Wooded Kingdom, two are found in the power plant in the Metro Kingdom, and three are found in a secret area in the Dark Side where Mario must defeat them without the use of Cappy. Upon defeat, they drop six coins, along with a Power Moon when every Big Poison Piranha Plant in the area are defeated.

Even though directly throwing Cappy at the Big Poison Piranha Plant causes it to choke on Cappy, it is possible to Capture this enemy. If there is a rock nearby, Mario can chuck it into the Big Poison Piranha Plant's mouth to cause him to choke in a similar fashion. Mario can then throw Cappy at the plant to possess him. In this form, Mario will cough out the initial rock tossed in, and then he will be able to spit poison. In this form, like the enemy itself, Mario is stationary.
