'''Petey Piranha''' is an abnormally large [[Piranha Plant]]. His first appearance was in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and since then he has gained much popularity and has since become a regular boss in Mario titles. He also consistently appears in sports games and spin-offs. Petey Piranha is thought to be a loyal follower of [[Bowser]], but this is undetermined. It is quite likely that he is the ruler of his kind, as suggested by his Japanese name, '''Boss Pakkun''', "Pakkun Flower" being the Japanese name for the Piranha Plant. He has multiple special powers that set him apart from normal Piranha Plants, including spitting [[Goop]] and flying.

 

At the end of each battle with him, he is destroyed, but always seems to be resurrected to appear in another game (even being fought twice in ''Super Mario Sunshine'').

====''Super Mario Sunshine====

[[Image:PeteySMS.jpg|thumb|240px|left|Petey Piranha's debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', [[Bowser Jr.]] selected Petey to help him defeat Mario on his vacation to Isle Delfino. Petey Piranha was stationed in [[Bianco Hills]] where he terrorized the residents and covered the landscape with [[Graffiti|Goop]]. When Mario faced him on top of the Big Windmill, Petey Piranha's enormous weight made the windmill's roof collapse, causing Mario and him to fall into the windmill. Inside, Petey Piranha attacked Mario by spitting Goop at him, and also headbutting him if he came too close. Mario, however, shot water into his mouth with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], causing his stomach to become filled with water and making him fall to the ground. Mario then [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounded]] Petey Piranha's belly three times, causing him to dissolve into Goop and give Mario a [[Shine Sprite]].

However, Petey Piranha survived and appeared once again in Episode 5, where he was happily snoozing on a cliff high above Bianco Hills. After Mario woke him by blasting him with a [[Poink]], Petey Piranha used his enormous arms to fly, and launched an attack from the sky. Mario sprayed water or shot Poinks at him, both of which caused him to fall to the ground. Then, in the same manner as the previous battle, Mario filled Petey Piranha's belly with water and Ground Pounded it. However, if Mario was able to Ground Pound him, or if he successfully spat goop, he would take to the skies again. On the ground, Petey Piranha not only attacked by spitting Goop, but also by unleashing small tornadoes. After being defeated, Petey Piranha once again dissolved into Goop and was not seen for the remainder of the game.

Strangely enough, Petey's attacks never did damage Mario, but the goop that he spat out could hurt Mario if he stayed on it for too long, and it could spawn [[Swoopin' Stu]]s.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Petey Piranha was the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]], the ice world. Many [[Piranha Plant]]s appeared in Petey's castle, a subtle hint that he would appear as the boss at the end. When confronted by the player, he attacked by flying up high, then dropping from the sky, attempting to crush the player beneath him with a move similar to the Ground Pound. Since the floor was made of slippery ice, after attacking he slipped and fell. It was then that he could be attacked by Mario or Luigi. After 2 hits, he would start his attack by jumping from side to side, which would be harder to dodge due to the bad traction of the ground. If they defeated him using a [[Mini Mushroom]], they would travel to [[World 7 (NSMB)|World 7]] instead of [[World 6 (NSMB)|World 6]]. However, the brothers were forced to Ground Pound him in order to inflict damage upon the beast when tiny. Once defeated, Petey Piranha would attempt to get up while glowing a bright white light; he soon vanished, revealing the key.

====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour====

Petey made his first appearance in a spin-off game in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. In this game, he was an unlockable character, obtainable by completing all side games (excluding the Birdie Challenge) on beginner, intermediate and expert. His large size made him the most powerful golfer in the game, capable of hitting the longest distance and launching the ball with a higher trajectory than any other character. When he hit the ball with his club, a golden streak followed the ball, like the tail of a comet. Like the other unlockable characters, his star character was available when he was unlocked.

On the character select screen, Petey was sleeping, while other characters were all doing some sort of exercise/warm-up/stretch. His animations after completing a hole included him flying up high (eagle), laughing (birdie), doing the "wave" (par), slapping himself in the face, similar to ''Super Mario Sunshine'' if he got hit by Mario, (bogey), and spitting goop before falling down (double bogey).

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!====

[[Image:Peteyboo.jpeg|left|thumb|Petey Piranha alongside King Boo in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]

Petey Piranha also appeared as an [[unlockable]] racer in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' with [[King Boo]] as his partner, hinting that they had some sort of relationship. The pair were unlocked by beating the [[Star Cup]] in [[Mirror Mode]]. Unlike the other racers who had their own special items, both Petey and King Boo had no special items of their own. Instead, they had the ability to use any special item in the entire game. Petey Piranha's personal kart, unlocked at the same time as him, was the [[Piranha Pipes]], a vehicle assembled out of the Piranha Plant's trademark, green tubing. As with all heavyweight racers, he could only race in the Heavy karts.

While Petey Piranha did not appear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a kart that resembled him, named the [[Piranha Prowler]], was available for use by large characters, unlocked by placing first in the 50cc [[Special Cup]]. If one was driving this kart and got a speed boost, or once they won, the mouth at the front of the kart would move. Also, it was revealed in the game's coding that Petey Piranha was supposed to be in ''Mario Kart Wii'' alongside [[Hammer Bro.]] and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]].

===''Mario Pinball Land===

[[Image:PeteyPiranhapinball.png|thumb|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Pinball Land''.]]

Petey Piranha made an appearance in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bmvj/time_s1.html Super Mario Ball Speedrun]</ref> Here, he had no feet, a long neck, a more outward mouth, and a round body. Petey appeared as the first boss in the game, in the [[Grassy Greens]] area. Before Mario could face him, he had to earn enough stars to open the Star Door at the entrance of the windmill. Once he had opened the door, Petey was fought. Mario had to hit the body three times while distracting Petey's head to beat him.

The fact that he was fought in a windmill is a clear reference to ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where the first fight with him was in a windmill as well.

<br clear=all>

====''Mario Power Tennis====

[[File:PeteyMPT.png|thumb|left|Petey after receiving his trophy in ''Mario Power Tennis''.]]

In ''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', he appeared as an unlockable character alongside [[Fly Guy]], [[Paratroopa]] and [[Wiggler]]. He could be unlocked by beating the two Special Tournaments - Fire and Thunder - in Doubles. In this game, he appeared once again as a power character; therefore, his shots traveled faster than usual, but he was slower than most other characters. He was also the largest character in the game, giving him a very large reach. Also, if he charged up his shot and the opponent hit it, they'd be pushed back a little. His [[Power Shot]]s were [[Sludge Racket]] and [[Piranha Swingback]]. The first involved swallowing his racket, puking it up, and spitting it at the ball at a high speed, while the latter involved him spitting a [[Polluted Piranha Plant]] near the ball, which would then hit it back to the other side of the court. His default Doubles partner was Wiggler, who was a Defense type character, making them an effective team.

<br clear=all>

Petey Piranha was mentioned as one of the answer choices to one of [[Pokey]]s' riddles in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' — specifically, "What [[Mario Golf (series)|golfs]], [[Mario Party (series)|parties]], and [[Mario Kart (series)|rides on a kart]]?". Mario is the correct answer, however, as Petey never appeared in a ''Mario Party'' game.

Petey [[Mario Party DS/Beta elements|was going to appear]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' as the first person who needs help, but he was replaced by [[Wiggler]], and his board, "Petey's Greenhouse", was replaced by [[Wiggler's Garden]].

[[Image:peteybaseball.png|thumb|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''.]]

Petey made an appearance in the first game of the ''Mario Baseball'' series, ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', as a team member of Wario's in Challenge Mode. In this game he was a Power type character, the strongest in the game with a batting stat of 9/10, tied with Bowser. He was also the slowest runner, with a running stat of 1/10, tied with Red Pianta, Yellow Pianta, and Bowser. In this game, he had good chemistry with [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[King Boo]], but he had bad chemistry with [[Princess Daisy]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Noki]], and [[Pianta]]. It is unknown why he had good chemistry with Birdo and Donkey Kong, and why he had bad chemistry with Daisy. Also, his chemistry with Birdo tied over to the next game. He had the ability to Body Check, saving him in tight pinches. He could body check any other character, even Bowser, with ease. He also had the strongest throwing arm in the game (despite the fact that his pitching is only around average), and he couldn't get body checked when on a base.

[[Image:Petey slugggers flowerpot.jpg|thumb|left|Petey in Peach's flower pot in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]

Petey Piranha reappears in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' again as a Power character. However, unlike the previous installment, he was available from the start. He also still retained his ability to Body Check, being the only player who can do that. Unlike in the last game, he was on [[Peach Monarchs|Peach's team]], possibly to add a powerful character to her team to balance the game out more. In Challenge Mode, he appeared in [[Peach Ice Garden]] in an empty flower pot. If Princess Peach used her special ability, Petey Piranha appeared. To get him to join, the player had to hit the ball into the yellow circle five times. In this game he had compatibility with Birdo, King Boo, [[Blooper]], and [[Wiggler]], but he had bad chemistry with [[Pianta]], [[Noki]], and [[Baby Mario]]. He also appeared on the box's game cover, behind [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]].

In both ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Petey is the only character who does not use a bat/glove or any item at all to hit/catch the ball, as he uses his leaf-like arm.

===''Super Princess Peach===

[[Image:Spp1.jpg|thumb|left|Peach battling Petey Piranha in ''Super Princess Peach''.]]

[[Image:SPP_Petey_Piranha.PNG|frame|right|Petey Piranha's appearance in ''Super Princess Peach''.]]

Petey Piranha reappeared as a boss in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', defending [[Bowser's Villa]] from [[Princess Peach]], and keeping a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] hostage. In the American version of this game, he was labeled under the name '''Boss P. Plant''' (short for '''Boss Piranha Plant''', a direct translation of his Japanese name ''Boss Packun''), but in the European release, Petey Piranha was referred to by his proper English name. He was the first boss of the game, being the boss of [[Ladida Plains]]. When Peach saw Petey, the overgrown plant swallowed the Toad, who was trapped in a ball, and the princess had to defeat Petey to rescue the poor mushroom resident. His attacks were shooting sound waves, pushing back Peach, shooting [[Nipper Plant]]s (which could be absorbed for vibe), shooting one shockwave to the left and one to the right (which could defeat Nipper Plants if there were any not defeated by the princess), and if she was using a vibe power, ending it. Peach had to use her [[Gloom]] vibe to make a plant grow so that she could leap on a leaf and once again use the vibe to put tears into the plant and inflate him, making him fall down and reveal his weak spot: his belly button. Peach had to jump on his belly five times to defeat him. After 3 hits, Petey used his own vibe, Rage. Petey could bounce around, making Peach's attack tough, and additionally shooting 2 shockwaves to each side. It is notable that the method of defeating him was very similar to ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', however Peach needed to hit him five times, not three like Mario needed to in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and that, when he fell over, Peach just needed to stomp his navel. Mario needed to [[Ground Pound]] it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha exploded.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time====

|image=[[Image:PeteyPiranhafliying.gif]]

|location=[[Gritzy Caves]]

|hp=1300 (1000)

|notice=Stats in parentheses are from the Japanese and European versions of the game if they differ from the original American stats.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlpit_guide.shtml TMK Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time Enemy Guide]. Some stats were changed from the original American version of the game to the Japanese and European versions.</ref>

In the [[Koopaseum]] of the Mushroom Kingdom's past, shown in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Princess Peach]] was fed to Petey Piranha by [[Princess Shroob]]'s orders. Shortly afterwords, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] enter the [[Gritzy Caves]] beneath the Koopaseum to find Petey and save the princess. On their way, they encountered two [[Shroob]]s with [[Kylie Koopa]], whom they had suspended by a rope. Petey then emerged from the ground and the Shroobs cut Kylie's rope, feeding her to the giant Piranha Plant as well. But before the Mario Bros. could do anything, he burrowed away.  

Once Petey Piranha was finally engaged in battle, his attacks included diving into the sand and ejecting rocks towards the Mario Bros. To dodge this assault, the player had to look at how Petey dove and jump with the according Bro. The mutant plant started the battle hovering, but after being hit by multiple attacks, he fell into the sand, being buried up to his head. His other main attack, while grounded, involved going underground and swallowing the sand, trying to drag the Mario Bros. into his mouth. The brothers had to jump up and down as to not get consumed. He could also spit out Piranha seeds that grew into Piranha Plants that had to be hammered away multiple times. After a certain number of turns, he jumped back out of the sand and resumed hovering. He could, once again, be knocked out of the air. He was especially susceptible to [[Fire Flower|fire]] and [[Ice Flower|ice]]. Once defeated, Petey Piranha exploded and both Kylie and a [[Cobalt Star Shard]] flew out of him, but Princess Peach does not. Kylie explained that when she was eaten she saw the princess; however, Petey spat her out right after swallowing said Kylie.  

This encounter showed that Petey had become familiar with the Mario brothers and Princess Peach before the events of his debut in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This also showed that Petey may well be considerably older than most other characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach and even Bowser since they were all just babies at this point, and Petey wasn't. However, it is possible that he was a baby but the Shroobs mutated him, causing him to grow considerably in size.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3===

[[File:Daisy garden.PNG|thumb|200px|left|One of the two Petey Piranhas in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''.]]

Two Petey Piranhas appeared in the [[Daisy Garden]] court as the baskets in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and tried to keep anyone from making a slam dunk. They fell asleep approximately every 30 seconds, making dunks possible during that time. If a team dunked three times in the first half without letting their opponents score, a blue seed would be in a [[? Panel]]. If the player took it and won the game, a secret court called [[Malboro Garden]] would become playable, which featured plant-like monsters from the ''Final Fantasy'' series that moved slowly from side to side behind the hoops and breathed out a purple gas that would stun players.

Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' on [[Daisy Garden]], as an NPC. During a basketball match, Petey reprises his role from ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', acting as the hoop, and during a dodgeball match, Petey stands on the side of the playing area and will spit goop that will act as obstacles to the players. This game also marks the first time Petey spits goop since [[2004]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', unless one counts ''[[Mario Power Tennis#"New Play Control!" Series|New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis]]'', which is a remake of ''Mario Power Tennis'', or ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', since he spits "mud" rather than "goop". Petey stars in his very own party game called [[Feed Petey]] where contestants try to feed as much fruit to him within the time allotted.

[[Image:Petey Piranha.jpg|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]]

[[Image:PeteySpecialShoot.png|thumb|right|Petey Piranha's Mega Strike in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]]

Petey Piranha appeared as an unlockable captain in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]''. He was a Power player, making him good at tackling and shooting; however, he could not pass or run very well. His [[Super Ability]], [[Mud Slinger!]], caused him to spit mud on the ground, which slowed everyone down but him. He could use this move up to four times in one Super Ability. Petey Piranha's Deke involved him rapidly banging his head backwards and forwards to prevent opponents from stealing the ball. His [[Mega Strike]] was difficult to block as well. In this move, Petey was enclosed in a large bud, while a stem sprout from the ground and took him above the stage, where he would spit the ball at the goal.  

He was the final unlockable character in the game, unlocked by beating the final cup, the [[Striker Cup]], which involved beating Petey in the [[Stormship Stadium]] stage. Petey is not shown in the opening cinematics of the game. Since [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] (the other two unlockables) did make brief appearances in that cinema, he is the only character in the game not shown in the opening.

His theme music when he scored a point was calypso. One of his winning animations involves him doing the limbo with his team players, while one of his "losing animations" (sometimes when the opponent scores a point) Petey will walk angrily to one of the opponents, eat them, and spit them back out, covering them in mud. It should also be noted that Petey is the only captain to wear a helmet in this game.

[[Image:PeteyInBrawl.jpg|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]

[[Image:Petey Brawl screenshot.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Petey Piranha swinging the cages in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]

Petey was the first boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. After Bowser joined the Subspace Army in its attempts to conquer "[[World of Trophies|this world]]," Petey and the [[Ancient Minister]] led an attack on the [[Midair Stadium]], where Mario and Kirby were having a friendly brawl. After capturing the spectating [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Zelda]] in cages, Petey blast Mario away with a cannonball from his mouth (before Mario could destroy a [[Subspace Bomb]] that had been dropped by the Ancient Minister), leaving Kirby as his only opponent. Petey attacked by swinging the cages at the player, as well as jumping into the air and potentially causing damage from the impact of landing. Kirby had to attack the cages to weaken them, saving one of the princesses (attacking the Piranha Plant himself dealt damage to both cages). Petey Piranha had no other attacks beside body slamming the player and swinging the cages around. However, only one princess could be saved, and the other princess would be changed back into a [[Trophy]] by [[Wario]], who then stole it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha suddenly burst into flames.

<br clear=all>

Petey Piranha is certainly recognizable as a Piranha Plant, but he differs starkly from a typical one. According to ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', he got his looks from a mutation of an unknown source. Petey is characterized by a remarkably large head and a comparably small body. He has a round, protuberant belly and a large belly button, but it's only visible if his stomach is inflated with a great quantity of water. Additionally, he has leaf-like arms and stubby legs, both of which grant him mobility beyond his pipe-dwelling "cousins". He also has green lips, which are similar to the lips of the old Piranha Plants but now contrast the white lips of the new Piranha Plants. He wears red pants with white polka dots, matching the coloration of his head. His most distinguishing feature is a ring of yellow petals with orange rims around his head, resembling a crown or a mane. In his first appearance, these petals had an iridescent quality, becoming a vibrant, fiery orange or a shiny white (with pinkish rims) depending on the angle of the light, but this trait was no longer present beyond ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Petey is also of a much greater size than normal Piranha Plants, easily standing six times Mario's height, though when depicted with a sprite or encountered in sports and spin-offs, he's smaller. ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' was the first game to portray Petey Piranha with a tongue, which was also seen in every game following. Curiously, after gaining a tongue, he seems to have lost his ability to spit goop. At first Petey Piranha was mistaken to be female; however, Petey Piranha's gender has never been mentioned. However, his various bios refer to Petey as a he.

Petey Piranha is a stereotypical big, tall, and strong character with limited intelligence. He does, however, exhibit the ability to acknowledge his own clumsiness, such as when he slaps his face in humiliation once he's back on his feet after taking damage in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Petey also has a sense of humor, as shown when he skips daintily to home plate when achieving a home run in the baseball games. Often taking naps, he gets frustrated when someone suddenly wakes him up, a trait that is similar to other Piranha Plant enemies that attack when awoken. He is also known for being very hungry and appears to be omnivorous. Despite his low intellect, he frequently aims to destroy Mario; it may also be that he simply attacks anyone who gets in his way, or he's hungry and thinks Mario would be a good snack. Petey is not always aggressive, though, and has been shown to be passive in games like ''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|Mario Power Tennis]]'' and other sports games.

Petey Piranha has unique abilities that normal Piranha Plants cannot perform. His leaves, for example, double as wings, granting him the ability to fly. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', he whips up [[Tweesters]] with his leaves and headbutts the player if they come within range. These attacks normally cause no damage, though at times [[Mario]] may get knocked back far enough to lose health. Petey's main attack involves spitting out large quantities of brown [[Goop]], which create [[Swoopin' Stu]]s and occasionally small Piranha Plants. Mario is damaged if he is in the Goop too long and/or slips. This ability of Petey's is not exclusive to ''Super Mario Sunshine'' as he can still spit Goop in later appearances, making it somewhat of a trademark of his. Another one of Petey's main traits is his phenomenal physical strength. This is especially evident in sports games when comparing his stats to other characters, and in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' the power of his swings causes all opponents (even larger ones like Bowser and Wiggler) to be knocked back a bit.

Also, in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Petey can dig into sand and spit out a Piranha Plant seed that sprouts and attacks the players, and in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', he makes sound waves, shock waves and spits [[Nipper Plant]]s.

When Petey Piranha hits the ball with his club in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' it shoots across the course with a golden streak. When he's playing baseball, he catches and throws the ball with his mouth, but when he's batting he hits the ball with his leaf-like arm. His sweet spot is the vein of his arm.

*Several other "Giant Piranha Plant" characters appear throughout the ''Mario'' series, many of which bear a resemblance to Petey. These include:

**The [[Piranha Bean]] and the [[Mom Piranha]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

**The [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

**The [[Peewee Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

*In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Petey Piranha is actually able to be fought before the player reaches Episode 2: Down With Petey Piranha in [[Bianco Hills]]. Petey is already standing atop the Big Windmill in the first episode, and after the player defeats the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]], the path to the windmill opens, allowing access to Petey. If the player speaks to the Pianta standing at the windmill, he'll respond to the fact that the player is skipping ahead, asking, "Whuzzah!? Whozat?! What're you doing over here? You're getting a little ahead of yourself, don't you think? Isn't there something else you should do before coming here?" Petey Piranha's second appearance cannot be fought prior to Episode 5, however.

*In ''Mario Power Tennis'', if the player makes Petey a lefty, his appearance is completely mirrored. The same goes for [[Bowser Jr.]].
