| | '''Peewee Piranha''' is a boss who appears in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. It appears in the [[Sky Station Galaxy]]. |
| '''Peewee Piranha''' is a [[Dino Piranha]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Unlike the original Dino Piranhas, it has a short tail, a glowing red behind under its eggshell, and a large tongue that regularly hangs out. It appears as a boss in two levels of [[Sky Station Galaxy]]: [[Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum]] and [[Peewee Piranha's Speed Run]]. Its name comes from "pee-wee," a word that can be used to describe something small or immature, the latter of which Peewee Piranha is, and may have also derived from [[Petey Piranha]]. Peewee Piranha shares its boss theme with [[Sorbetti]], [[Rollodillo]], and [[Prince Pikante]]. | |
| | |
| Peewee Piranha's boss planet is host to the original Dino Piranha in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'' during [[Dream Spacewalk]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
| |
| [[File:PeeweePiranha.png|thumb|left|Peewee Piranha battle]]
| |
| Peewee Piranha first appears enclosed in an [[egg]], similarly to Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', on the [[Sky Station Galaxy#Geo Planet|Geo Planet]]. When [[Mario]] lands on the planet, he lands on top of the egg, cracking it open and releasing Peewee's head and legs. Peewee immediately begins attacking Mario by charging right at him, much like its predecessor, but it also has its own original attack: jumping up into the air and attempting to crush Mario beneath its weight. After Mario has hit Peewee once, it jumps at him twice.
| |
| | |
| To defeat Peewee, Mario must hit it in its only weak point, its glowing red behind. However, the behind is protected by the shell of the egg. To get rid of the shell, Mario has to [[spin]] into it up to three times (or twice, if Mario hits an area that is already exposed), which prompts it to shatter off Peewee's body. Mario can also [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]] the top of the shell to instantly shatter it completely. Peewee's enormous bottom is then open to attack, but Peewee runs away from Mario. After Mario hits Peewee's behind once, Peewee gets mad and its head turns red, just like Dino Piranha. Its shell also reforms, and its charges and the music speed up. Mario must repeat the process of destroying the shell to hit Peewee's behind and win the battle, gaining a [[Power Star]].
| |
| | |
| Peewee Piranha later appears in a level with a [[Prankster Comet]]: a Speedy Comet. Mario must repeat most of the level, including defeating Peewee, with a timer. Peewee does not change its tactics for the rematch with Mario and continues to just charge and jump at him. The only difference is that the planet is covered with [[+ Clock|Clock]]s to refill the timer.
| |
| | |
| Notably, whenever Peewee Piranha does generally anything, a squeaking noise can be heard.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| | [[Mario]] first encounters the creature enclosed in an [[egg]], much like the [[Dino Piranha]] in the [[Super Mario Galaxy|first game]]. The boss looks very similar to the Dino Piranha, except for that it has green petals, and its entire backside is protected by the eggshell. The Peewee Piranha attacks mainly by charging at Mario, much like its predecessor. Mario will need to hit the shell to expose its bulbous and throbbing rear end. After Mario hits the Peewee Piranha from behind once, it will reform its shell for protection and begin to charge at Mario again. Its attacks are now much faster and it can also lunge at the plumber. Mario will need to hit the eggshell three more times to let its throbbing rear to be hit again, and be defeated, granting Mario the [[Power Star]]. This boss appears in the mission, "Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum". |
| While Peewee Piranha does not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', {{iw|icaruspedia|Viridi}} mentions "Peewee Piranhas" during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant]], implying it to be a species rather than a singular character.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Dr. Mario World''===
| | The player does face Peewee Piranha twice, with the second fight being under the [[Prankster Comet|Speedy Comet]] conditions. |
| Peewee Piranha's egg appears on the map of the first half of [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. | |

| ==Additional names== | | ==Trivia== |
| ===Internal names===
| | *Like [[Dino Piranha]] from the first ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Peewee Piranha resembles Petey Piranha, with one particular feature that he doesn't (in his case, the eggshell) that must be attacked. Also, both are the first boss of their respective games and are first encountered enclosed in an egg. |
