'''Petey Piranha''' is a large mutant [[Piranha Plant]] who debuted in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Since then, he has become a recurring boss in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise and has made frequent appearances in sports and spin-off games, occasionally as a playable character. He has multiple abilities that set him apart from other Piranha Plants, including spitting [[goop]], flying using his leaf-like arms, and the ability to create tornadoes. Additionally, his sheer size causes him to be often depicted as even stronger and heavier than regular powerhouse characters like [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. However, his stubby legs make him very slow on the ground, while his massive head leaves him top-heavy and easy to knock over. | '''Petey Piranha''' is a large mutant [[Piranha Plant]] who debuted in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.

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 appears in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' as the first boss of the game's story mode, fought in the mission [[Forest Monster]].

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. | Petey Piranha has been playable since the version 2.1.0 update.

Petey | [[File:MSB Petey Piranha Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']] | ||
Petey is an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. Petey is unlocked by completing Challenge Mode with Wario's team, of which he is part of. Petey is a Power type character, the strongest in the game with a batting stat of 9/10, tied with Bowser. He is also the slowest runner, with a running stat of 1/10, tied with Red Pianta, Yellow Pianta, Bowser and most [[Magikoopa]]s. In this game, he has good chemistry with [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[King Boo]], but he has bad chemistry with [[Princess Daisy]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Noki]], and [[Pianta]]. He has the ability to Body Check, saving him in tight pinches. He also has the strongest throwing arm in the game (despite the fact that his pitching is only around average), and he cannot get body checked when on a base. Also notable is when Petey is fielding, he does not try to catch the ball with a glove and instead eats the ball if he catches it. | |||
[[File:Sluggers Petey's Flowerpot.jpg|thumb|Petey in Peach's flower pot in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']] | |||
Petey Piranha reappears in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' again as a Power character. However, unlike in the previous installment, he is available from the start. He also still retains his ability to Body Check, being the only player who can do so. He is also the only player who can perform the [[Piranha Catch]]. Unlike in the last game, he is on [[Peach Monarchs|Peach's team]]. In Challenge Mode, he appears in [[Peach Ice Garden]] in an empty flower pot. If Princess Peach uses her special ability, Petey Piranha appears. To get him to join, the player has to hit the ball into the yellow circle three times. In this game he has compatibility with Birdo, King Boo, [[Blooper]], and [[Wiggler]], but he has bad chemistry with [[Pianta]], [[Noki]], and the babies. He also appears on the box's game cover, behind [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]]. Like with the predecessor, Petey's highest stat is his batting stat; his batting is tied with [[Bowser]] and [[King K. Rool]]. His fielding is about average, but his pitching skills are rather weak, and he is a slow runner. Oddly, Petey Piranha's stamina is quite lackluster, since he gets exhausted rather quickly while pitching; even quicker than King K. Rool, who also has low stamina. | |||
In ''Mario | In both of the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' games, 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 when he is batting. As mentioned before, Petey eats the ball while fielding and simply uses his mouth as a glove. | ||

Petey Piranha is a boss in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. He defends [[Bowser's Villa]] from [[Princess Peach]] and keeps a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] hostage. In the North American localization only, he is labeled under the name '''Boss P. Plant''' (short for '''Boss Piranha Plant''', a more direct translation of his Japanese name).<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Princess_Peach#Music_and_Glossary|title=''Super Princess Peach'' § Music and Glossary|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en}}</ref> He is fought in [[Ladida Plains]], being the first boss | Petey Piranha is a boss in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.

When Peach sees Petey, Petey swallows the Toad, who is trapped in a ball, and Peach has to defeat Petey to rescue the Toad. His attacks send shockwaves, pushing back Peach, shooting [[Nipper Plant]]s (which can be absorbed for vibe), shooting one shockwave to the left and one to the right (which can defeat Nipper Plants if there are any not defeated by the princess), and if she is using a vibe power, ending it. Peach has to use her [[Gloom]] vibe to make a plant grow so that she can leap on a leaf and once again use the vibe to put tears into Petey and inflate him, making him fall and reveal his weak spot: his belly button. Peach has to jump on his belly five times to defeat him. After 3 hits, Petey uses his own vibe, Rage. Petey can bounce around, making Peach's attack tough, and additionally send 2 shockwaves to each side. It is notable that the method of defeating him is very similar to ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''; however, Peach needs to hit him five times, not three like Mario needs to in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and when he falls, Peach needed just to stomp his navel. Once defeated, Petey Piranha explodes. | ||

In the [[Koopaseum]] of the Mushroom Kingdom's past, [[Princess Peach]] is fed to Petey Piranha by [[Princess Shroob]]'s orders. Shortly afterwards, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] enter the [[Gritzy Caves]] beneath the Koopaseum to find Petey and save Peach. On their way, they encounter two [[Shroob]]s with [[Kylie Koopa]], whom they have suspended by a rope. Petey then emerges from the ground and the Shroobs cut Kylie's rope, feeding her to Petey as well as the princess. Before the Mario Bros. can do anything, however, he burrows away. The bros. later find Petey in the room past the large gate in the caves, where he emerges from the ground after the bros. hit a high [[? Block]] in the middle of the room containing a single coin. Petey then swallows the block and spits it out, which bounces across the room before hitting the back wall, creating a crack for the bros. to hammer through later and progress, and his boss battle begins. | ||

His attacks include | Due to the bros. already being high on [[Level up|POW]], Petey Piranha does not have a particularly high defense like previous bosses, making the battle slightly easier. His attacks include diving into the sand and ejecting rocks towards the Mario Bros. To dodge this assault, they have to look at how Petey dives, and they must jump with the according Bro. Petey starts the battle hovering, but after being hit by multiple attacks, he falls into the sand, being buried up to his head. His other main attack, while grounded, involves going underground and swallowing the sand, trying to drag the Mario Bros. into his mouth. The brothers have to jump up and down to not get consumed. He can also spit out [[Piranha Pest]]s that have to be [[hammer]]ed away multiple times. After a certain number of turns, he jumps out of the sand and resumes hovering, though the Bros. can knock him out of the air again. He is especially susceptible to [[Fire Flower|fire]] and [[Ice Flower|ice]]. Once defeated, Petey Piranha explodes and both Kylie and a [[Cobalt Star Shard]] fly out of him, but Princess Peach does not. Kylie explains that when she was eaten, she saw the princess, but Petey spat her out right after swallowing Kylie. | ||
Petey Piranha's voice is identical to that of [[Yoob]]. | |||

He is a Power player, making him good at tackling and shooting; however, he can neither pass nor run very well. His [[Super Ability]], [[Mud Slinger!]], causes him to spit mud on the ground, which slows everyone down but him. He can use this move up to four times in one Super Ability. Petey Piranha's deke involves him rapidly banging his head backwards and forwards to prevent opponents from stealing the ball. In his [[Mega Strike]], Petey is enclosed in a large bud, while a stem sprouts from the ground and takes him above the stage, where he spits the ball at the goal.

Sometimes, the second losing animation will include some sidekicks running and tripping (or in [[Monty Mole]]'s case, he attempts to dig) or cowering in fear. Petey is the only captain to wear a helmet in this game. | ||

Kirby has to attack the cages to weaken them, saving one of the princesses (attacking Petey himself deals damage to both cages). Petey Piranha has no other attacks beside body slamming the player and swinging the cages around. However, only one princess can be saved, and the other princess is changed back into a trophy by [[Wario]], who then steals it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha suddenly bursts into flames. | ||

Petey Piranha reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as part of Piranha Plant's [[Petey Piranha (move)|Final Smash]]. Petey Piranha is designed after his appearance in The Subspace Emissary of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', including the cages he wields, though he has a brighter color scheme more comparable to the mainline ''Super Mario'' games. He hops along the stage while swinging his cages, and is able to trap opponents inside them. At the end of the Final Smash, he will breathe fire and slam the cages into the ground. | Petey Piranha reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

He also appears in the form of two Grab type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}}s, using artwork from ''Mario Super Sluggers'' and ''Mario Strikers Charged''. The former spirit is an enhanced form of the [[Nipper Plant]] spirit and makes the user temporarily giant at the start of a battle. On [[Palutena's Temple]], both Petey Piranha and Petea Piranha are mentioned briefly by {{iw|icaruspedia|Viridi}} during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros.

In this manga, he is apparently a mother of the Tongue Piranha children, and he holds a shard of the [[Cobalt Star]] in his mouth, as a replacement for a tooth. Petey talks in a sweet, feminine way, making Mario and Luigi comment on how nice he is. Mario and Luigi anger him, however, by attempting to snatch the Cobalt Star Shard. After a fight, however, Petey gives it to the four brothers. | ||

Petey | Petey makes his [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] debut as the [[boss]] of [[Rumble Volcano]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Like the other bosses, he gains power from a [[Royal Sticker]] that he took and ate from a tribe of [[Spear Guy]]s who described him as gluttonous. Upon first sighting [[Mario]] and [[Kersti]], he swallows Kersti whole, forcing [[Mario]] to go after him. Presumably during this time, he also ate several [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Sticker]]s, as he coughs up [[Dry Bones]] and random stickers during the battle. Once found, he immediately attacks [[Mario]]. | ||
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. | He mainly fights by flying with his leaves before slamming down on Mario.

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. Petey is characterized by a remarkably large head and a comparably small body. He has a round, protuberant belly and a large belly button under his shorts, but it is 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 Piranha Plants in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in contrast to the white lips of Piranha Plants in most other games. His lips are also covered with darker green lines. 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 have 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 is 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 is smaller. ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' is the first game to portray Petey Piranha with a tongue, which was also seen in every game following. While his size varies between games, the official height chart shows Petey being 12'9" tall (3.9 m). | Petey Piranha is certainly recognizable as a Piranha Plant, but he differs starkly from a typical one.

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Petey Piranha's appearance changes. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Petey's color scheme is much darker, his gums receive heavy detailing, and his design is more realistic overall while his neck is located in the front of his petals. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Petey's color scheme is more vibrant overall, while his gums are reverted to their original appearance, more closely matching his design in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. However, his stem is still in front of his petals, and received some minor detailing. | In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Petey Piranha's appearance changes. In ''Super Smash Bros.
