Editing Petey Piranha

[[File:MTA Mario fighting Petey Piranha.png|thumb|left|Mario fighting Petey in ''Mario Tennis Aces'']]

Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' as the first boss of the game's story mode, fought in the mission [[Forest Monster]]. When Mario enters the [[Ancient Altar]] in search of a [[Power Stone]], Petey Piranha falls from above and attacks. Once the match starts, a Piranha Plant will serve the ball and the rally between Mario and Petey Piranha begins. Every time Petey Piranha rallies the ball, he loses a bit of health. Whenever Petey Piranha loses a full meter, he will fall over and his bellybutton will be exposed, which Mario needs to attack with a [[Zone Shot]]. Failing to hit the bellybutton will cause Petey Piranha to recover a bit of health and stand back up. Petey Piranha has three meters of health, indicated by hearts, and whenever he loses one, he will send out groups of tornadoes Mario has to avoid or use [[Trick Shot]]s to jump over. Petey Piranha is also capable of Zone Shots that can end up breaking Mario's racket in one hit. To defeat Petey Piranha, Mario has to drain all of his health within 300 seconds, and failing to rally a ball will cause some time to be lost.

Petey Piranha has been playable since the version 2.1.0 update. Petey Piranha has been available for all players since January 1, 2019, although he could be unlocked earlier by participating in the December 2018 singles online tournament. He retains his Powerful classification, though unlike in previous installments, he does not use a tennis racket, instead using his leaves to hit the ball, making him the only character in the tennis games to not use a tennis racket. Due to this, when his "racket" breaks, Petey Piranha's leaf instead receives a bandage and he falls to the floor in a unique animation that resembles his animation when he loses a meter of health in his boss fight. His horizontal Trick Shot, Fluttering Fury, and his vertical Trick Shot, Spin 'n' Slap, both involve him flying to the ball to hit it. His [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]], Vicious Twister, has him fly into the air and use a pair of tornadoes to propel the ball towards himself so he can hit it.

He mainly fights by flying with his leaves before slamming down on Mario. He can also spit out a ball of goo at Mario which can sometimes cause him to gain the "[[soggy]]" status effect if not blocked. After losing [[Heart Point|HP]], he uses his leaves to spin around rapidly to attack Mario but doing so makes him [[dizzy]]. Sometimes, Mario gets [[dizzy]] if he is hit by this attack. If Petey is attacked during his dizzy state; his weak point (his belly button) becomes exposed, which leaves him vulnerable to serious damage from [[Jump]] attacks. Once his belly button is attacked, he spits out [[Kersti]], as well as several Jump stickers, and a [[Dry Bones]]. Petey has 300 HP. When he has 100 HP left, he begins a more powerful attack when he bites [[Mario]] three times. Each time he bites [[Mario]], he deals 7 damage. Once he is defeated, he explodes into confetti and reveals the Green [[Royal Sticker]]. Petey Piranha is the only boss in the game to not require any specific types of stickers to beat.

This is the first, and so far, the only appearance of Petey's in which he speaks intelligible language, albeit one line and under the influence of a Royal Sticker. Interestingly, although Petey ate the green Royal Sticker, it appears on his head during his fight.
