For the longest time, people (including myself) have wanted to get the Piranha Suit, rather than the Piranha Swing badge, from the Piranha Bean boss. However, as only Luigi fights it, you cannot use the Swing Bros. attack, and until July 2008, no one had found enough Hoo Beans to make the final drink necessary for the Game Boy Horror SP.
Now, nearly all of the hidden Hoo Beans in the game are indicated on the following map sections. Check out Peardian's original M&L: SS maps on www.vgmaps.com for the complete maps of these areas.

Two beans are unaccounted for, as supposedly, "...an elevated platform that’s right up against the western wall in a small room [in Joke's End] features an Invisible Block", and "A tiny, elevated platform up against the northern wall [of some unclarified part of Bowser's Castle] is surrounded by lava. An Invisible Block floats above this tiny platform." Both are very ambiguous statements, and both Joke's End and Bowser's Castle are playable after the surfing minigame is accessible.
There is also rumor of a hidden block(s) in Chateau de Chucklehuck, but this could be a confusion with the hidden area containing a Super Nut, Super Syrup, and coins. Also, the Joke's End bean could possibly be located in the room indicatedwith the Scaratroopea and Snifit (marked with a "?").
I am unable to figure out the authenticity (and/or clear identity) of the locations of these Hoo Beans, but at any rate, the 15 pre-Piranha Bean locations should be more than enough to get the Game Boy Horror SP before the boss.

Those better be some classy pants.
-
Wait, what? There are still secret items in M&L:SS that no one has gotten?
-
But some of those locations (Joke's End) come after the Pirahna Bean fight.

Yeah, I added them as extra reference. There are in all 27 hidden beans shown that appear before the fight, and around a dozen non-hidden blocks not shown.
@LD: As far as I know, it was fairly common knowledge that the Piranha Suit was the rare drop, but I couldn't find anything about anyone getting it - and proving it possible - without cheating until a post marked July 2008
@BP: HP-Auto Gain and DEF +30, same as the Wool Trousers, I believe.

Wow. I didn't KNOW that there was a Piranha Suit in that game...this makes me want to find every Hoo Bean and get that suit...kinda.
Do you have any pictures of the Piranha Suit? And is it even worth getting if you (everyone) already beat the game? Maybe it causes a special ending? Argh! These questions need to be answered! Anyway, great discovery, jdaster64.
-
This makes me want to go back and try to find as many Hoo Beans as I can.
-
Dang. I was playing this a few weeks back and was only one for two Hoo Beans short. I'll have to keep this in mind for next time.
-
The Piranha Suit, I would presume, looks like any other pair of jeans in the game.
Also, note that the X shown above the yellow mushroom platform is incorrectly located, it should be on the far left yellow mushroom in that same area.
-
There's a way to get something else from the Piranha Bean? How do you do that? And what does it do?
-
Get the Game Boy Horror SP (by making all of the drinks at the StarBeans cafe) and use it; the Piranha Suit gives +30 DEF and HP Auto-Gain.
-
Isn't there a chance even if it's minimal that the Piranha Bean will drop it without the Game Boy Horror SP?
-
Not sure, actually. Makes me wonder if the other gear and badges stored in the data but apparently otherwise unaccounted for (e.g. Safe Guard, Heavy Slacks, Bros. Respect) are drops from random enemies, say, 0.1% of the time. I guess there's no way of knowing...
-
I jumped all over that mushroom in the Mushroom embassy, there was nothing there.

Sorry, it's on the far left mushroom, Spin Jump to get to it. I missed that one, so didn't confirm it until yesterday.
-
I'm surprised those in that bean house went unaccounted for for so long. I found those a long time ago on my first or second playthrough. I guess that's one of the advantages of not using a strategy guide.
-
Oh, I'd seen all but the Fungitown Embassy and Chucklehuck Woods ones before the list I used as a reference.
-
Interesting timing... I was revisiting the Japanese MLSS for the upcoming Japanese to English redo and I got the Piranha Suit from beating Ludwig.
-
It's kismet.
-
I just tried it. Piranha Bean does drop the Piranha Suit if Luigi has the Game Boy Horror SP equipped. I didn't get the Piranha Swing badge though...
-
You can only get one or the other. I prefer the Piranha Suit as the Sledge Heart is better than the Piranha Swing and can be gotten more than once.
-
I found another bean in this room, on the left platform :

PS : I'm sorry for posting in a very old topic, but I wanted to post that somewhere since I never heard of that bean anywhere, I think it can be useful... Juste delete my post and lock this topic if it's too old.
-
Lol, I wonder how I missed that one; I've known of its existence for some time. Coincidentally, I'm in the process of making a video showing the locations, but I wasn't planning on posting that here. This thread can be locked by whomever wishes.
-
Well, now that the thread's been bumped, why not post it here?
At least it wasn't a pointless bump this time
