In ''[[Rayman 2: The Great Escape|Rayman 2]]'', they are found in any body of water that [[Rayman]] cannot swim in, usually polluted or stagnated water, or even acid. Two major kinds of piranhas live in those places: the small ones that devour Rayman when he falls into water, and the bigger ones that jump from water and try to bite him. A single energy ball can get rid of the second kind. In [[the Whale Bay]], Rayman must fight off piranhas who suffer from heartburn; these piranhas attempt to eat [[Carmen the Whale]]'s [[air bubble]]s, which Rayman needs to survive. | |||

They are also present in all versions of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', mainly in [[the Bog of Murk]], but while [[Rayman]] can actually swim in the dirty waters they live in, they will deplete his energy very quickly and cause a game over. The piranhas in this game have mechanical jaws which resemble bear-traps. In [[Clearleaf Forest]], piranhas are shown to swim powerfully enough to pursue Rayman and [[Globox]] as they ascend the waterfall. In [[the Bog of Murk]], they can often be encountered jumping back and forth over the logs which Rayman must walk across. When these piranhas are [[telescopic fist|punched]], their mechanical jaws shatter and they are defeated; this recalls the piranhas from the previous games, whose organic teeth crumbled when they were defeated. | They are also present in all versions of ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]'', mainly in [[the Bog of Murk]], but while [[Rayman]] can actually swim in the dirty waters they live in, they will deplete his energy very quickly and cause a game over.

Piranhas appear once more in ''[[Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge]]'', an isometric handheld platformer based on ''[[Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc|Rayman 3]]''. These piranhas resemble and behave like their ''Rayman 3'' counterparts. | |||

In Rayman Kart, piranhas | In ''[[Rayman Kart]]'', piranhas appear only in one level: [[Murky Swamp]]. They can be seen jumping from the waters of the bog. A boost must usually be used to get safely over them; it is difficult for the player to avoid the piranhas without one. Similar-looking fish appear in [[Shipwreck Track]], but it is not clear if they are piranhas. | ||
