- “Could you help out with the big-headed creature up there? You're the only one we can ask to lend us a hand. I know it's a pain, but...you think you can handle it?”
- —Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine
Down with Petey Piranha! is the second episode of Bianco Hills in Super Mario Sunshine. The episode's objective is to defeat Petey Piranha at the top of the Big Windmill.
Layout[edit]
Upon starting the mission, the player needs to make their way to where the first episode was completed. This time around, however, the gate leading to the countryside is now open and remains open in future episodes.
Once at the bridge, the player needs to use the Hover Nozzle or the ropes to cross the gap. Beyond the bridge, there are several piles of goop and many Piranhabons that roll down the path to the windmill. The path spirals around the windmill and there are several Piranha Plants in the patches of goop that appear when the player gets near. Near the end of the path, there are two gaps the player needs to hover over. Taking the windmill's platforms up and jumping onto the top starts a cinematic of Petey Piranha roaring to intimidate Mario, which leads to the two of them crashing through the windmill and falling inside.
Once inside, the battle with Petey Piranha begins. Petey's attacks involve spitting out goop, which causes Goobles and Piranha Plants to spawn, and attacking Mario if he gets near. To defeat Petey Piranha, the player needs to spray into his mouth when it is open. Spraying water into Petey's mouth until he swallows it all causes Petey to fall over and his belly button to bulge. Ground Pounding Petey Piranha's belly makes him spew the water he swallowed around him, cleaning up any goop he created. Spraying and Ground Pounding Petey Piranha two more times defeats him and reward the player with the episode's Shine Sprite.
