| The '''Piranha Prowler''' is a large [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The character's emblem is on the kart's forehead and seen on both sides of the vehicle. The kart resembles the [[Piranha Plant]], specifically [[Petey Piranha]], with Funky Kong's color scheme resembling him the most. In addition, [[Bowser]]'s Piranha Prowler resembles the [[Pit Plant]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', while the female [[Mii]]'s and [[Donkey Kong]]'s resemble the two different [[Dino Piranha]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Based on its antique interior gauges, covered rear wheels, and sheer size, it appears to be based on convertible automobiles from the 1940s, specifically luxury vehicles like the {{wp|Cadillac_Series_62#First_generation_(1940–1941)|Cadillac Series 62}}. If the player closely examines the rear, they can see a petal that functions like a fishtail spoiler (common on antique vehicles) as well as exhaust pipes that are actually small green [[pipe]]s. The kart can be unlocked by winning the 50cc [[Special Cup]], or by playing 600 races. | | The '''Piranha Prowler''' is a large [[kart]] that appears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

| This kart does not have a [[bike]] counterpart for its size class, though the lightweight [[Jet Bubble]] has a similar stat distribution. Coincidentally, the Piranha Prowler and Jet Bubble are the heaviest kart and bike in their respective size classes. It is one of six vehicles that does not have a counterpart for its size class, the other five being the [[Blue Falcon]], Jet Bubble, [[Classic Dragster]], [[Phantom (bike)|Phantom]], and [[Zip Zip]]. | | This kart does not have a bike counterpart. In fact, no other vehicle has stats that are similar to this kart's stats. |

|
| The mouth of the kart opens up when driving; this is most noticeable when it spins out, the player does a [[Trick|trick]] or blasted out of the cannon in {{classic link|GCN|DK Mountain}}, [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]] and [[Wii Maple Treeway|Maple Treeway]], the speed jump in {{classic link|N64|DK's Jungle Parkway}} and the Launch Star in [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]].

| The Piranha Prowler is the heaviest vehicle in the game. Having the highest weight stat in the game allows it to not only push around lighter vehicles with ease, but also jump at the lowest angle out of any vehicle in the game. It also has good speed, but its other stats are rather low. However, despite most of the Piranha Prowler's stats being below average, they exceed that of the [[Jetsetter]] kart. | | The Piranha Prowler is the heaviest vehicle in the game. That way, the player is less likely to be knocked around by other drivers. It also has good speed and average handling and drift, but its other stats are a little mediocre (not as mediocre as the [[Jetsetter]], though). |
|
| |
|
| The Piranha Prowler's acceleration is tied with the [[Sneakster]], [[Mini Beast]], and [[Shooting Star (bike)|Shooting Star]], the first of which also has the same mini-turbo. Its handling and off-road are tied with the [[Bullet Bike]]. Its drift is tied with the [[Sugarscoot]]. Its speed is tied with the [[Mach Bike]] and the Mini Beast.
