==Other Peteys==

Does anyone ever wonder if the Petey Piranha in [[Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time]] is
the same one we see in the other games or is he Petey's dad?

I think there the same and that the Shroobs may have been the ones who mutated Petey. -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

== Petey's Age ==

That can't be true because if Mario was a baby back then, then that would mean Petey was a baby, because he's probably the same age as Mario. --[[User:PeteyPiranhaLover|PeteyPiranhaLover]] 16:53, 3 August 2006 (EDT)
:Where in the article does it talk about Petey's age? <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span> 17:09, 3 August 2006 (EDT)

It doesn't. I'm just saying that it's possible that Petey was mutated after he grew up, thus meaning that he was a baby back in the past and that his father fought The four Mario bros. --[[User:PeteyPiranhaLover|PeteyPiranhaLover]] 22:45, 7 August 2006 (EDT)
:That is a possible explanation. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 22:57, 7 August 2006 (EDT)

How can a plant have a father? -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

Because lots of fans speculate that in Mario and Luigi: partners in Time that that was possibbly
Petey's father. --[[User:PeteyPiranhaLover|PeteyPiranhaLover]] 00:07, 8 August 2006 (EDT)

That doesn't really answer my question, I mean how can a plant or even a plant based creature biologically give birth to a child? -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

The [[Mario]] games are fantasy anyway. Almost anything happen. Look at [[Mom Piranha]]. She has mom in her name and she can make [[Piranha Plants]] grow out of the ground as well. [[User: Paper Jorge|Paper Jorge]] 5:10, August 13, 2006

I guess that makes sense -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

On that point, how do Goombas and Koopa Troopas have babies?  See?  Anything goes in the Marioverse.

And how did Bowser have Bowser Jr.?

. . . Never mind, I don't want to know.

==Species==
Is Petey Piranha considered a species? In [[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]] there are two Petey Piranhas on the Petey Piranha Court. If that is true, it probably means that the Petey in MLPiT was the Main Petey's Dad. &ndash; [[User Talk:Spike|Spike]][[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]

:What evidence suggests that the Petey in ML:Pit is the dad of Petey from Super Mario Sunshine? Whose to say that the Petey from Super Mario Sunshine is not the great grandfather of the Petey from Mario Kart: Double Dash? Different creatures have different lifespans. In regards to naming Petety Piranha a species, if we start to see more and more multiple Petey Piranhas in games, we should then call Petey a species. Right now information is too ambiguous. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

It still is weird, seeing two Petey Pianhas in the game, however we should note that the game was made by [[Square Enix]] and not [[Nintendo]]. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''aper '''Jorge'''</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Paper Jorge|Need to tell me something? Go to my talk page.]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Paper Jorge|Contributions]]<tt>&middot;</tt></small>) 16:16, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

No matter who made it, Nintendo still gave them licensing. It is just like saying that all the events in SMRPG were not real or that the ML series were non-canonical just because they were made by Square Enix (Square Soft back then) and Alpha Dream.{{User:Knife/sig}}

*Mabey he cloned himself before the game {{User:WarioLoaf/sig}}

Cloned? How?{{User:Knife/sig}}

Maybe he, err, barfed up a copy of himself. -- [[User:Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

*He had to have a mother.Mabey it was his twin brother? {{User:WarioLoaf/sig}}

Now, hold it. Maybe the two Peteys means there's a reason he was called Boss P. Plant in ''SPP''. -[[User:Dodoman]]

== Piranha Bean ==

Petey and [[Piranha Bean]] are totally different characters. Whoever added that info, read this! {{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}
*Actually he could've been a Piranna bean before he grew into a disfigured swim suit model. {{User:WarioLoaf/sig}}

Not official anyway.{{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}
:Mouser45 added it. Not the same character. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 00:47, 27 November 2006 (EST)

I agree with WarioLoaf. Considering Petey Looks so similar to a Piranha Bean, it is highly possible that he got mutated when he was a Piranha Bean. I'd also like to change my above theory and state that Petey possibley was born before any other Mario chraracter, leading to the fact that his mutation made him imortal. So if that is possible, then I believe that he is the same one we all saw in Mario and Luigi 2, and all other games. But contridicting Mario Hoops 3 on 3, since no one knows which one was the real Petey.--[[User:PeteyPiranhaLover|PeteyPiranhaLover]] 22:39, 14 December 2006 (EST)

Maybe another Piranha Bean got mutated too? [[User:Plumber|Plumber]] [[Image:Waluigidance.gif]]

Eh...with so much Peteys this is confusing. {{User:Paper Jorge/sig|Yo!}}

== Species... ==

Now I got it: Petey is a species. That explains why Petey has died many times and returned. Excplains why he's in the past. Explains why there's more than 1 in Hoops. Explains Piranha Bean who could be a younger version of a Petey Plant.

What do you say? {{User:Paper Jorge/sig|Petey, oh Petey.}}

Explain. {{User:3dejong/sig|explain why I like this sig so much.}}

First, we don't know that Petey has died - lots of characters get defeated but come back -  but they don't die. Only a few characters have died, such as Wrinkly Kong and Bowser. The rest just kinda disappear. Second, how does being species explain why Petey is in the past? We don't know his age, he could be much much older than the Mario Bros., meaning it's the same Petey in both M&L: PoT and SMS. Third, it is possible that a species explains two Peteys in Hoops - I'll get back to that later. Fourth, although Petey resembles Piranha Beans, we cannot say one is older than the other, only that they appear to be related.

Okay, back to MH3o3. If we find textual evidence in an official source that says two "Peteys" or somehow indicates the name Petey in the plural, we can safely assume that Petey has become a species. This happens all the time. I remember when we had Toad, but then Paper Mario came around, and now we have Toad and Toads. However, is we can't find any evidence saying that both Piranha Plants are named Petey, we can't declare Petey to be a species. Maybe newer games will feature multiple Peteys, confirming the speculation caused by MH3o3. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
==Popularity==
I think petey is a very popular characters in Nintendo because he appears in more games than King Boo an other bosses that usally stay in the Mario series I bet he'll probablly be in Mario Kart Wii and in Brawl I hope he's in Brawl.{{User:King Mario/sig}}
:And this is important in what way? {{User:Xzelion/Signature}}

==Jamaican==

Petey is clearly Jamaican. He's obviously a Jamaican Piranha Plant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS7eahAw0oI Jamiacan music. The ones in hoops are also Jamaican. Of course this is an opinion. I'm not saying it's 100% accurate. --[[User:King Boo|King Boo]] 07:31, 20 August 2007 (EDT)
:One thing, this is ridiculous. Who cares if he's Jamaican, or Japanese, or Sumatran, or Mexican. He's a giant [[Piranha Plant]], isn't that enough? {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

I'm just saying. If Mario is Italian why can't Petey be Jamaican? --[[User:King Boo|King Boo]] 16:41, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

This convoseration wins the stupidest convo award! {{User:Moogle/sig}}

== "Petey"? ==
Is it possible to abbreviate Petey Piranha with simply "Petey"? And should we do it in an article? - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:21, 24 August 2007 (EDT)

Sure it is. {{User:Max2/sig}} And, yes. I guess.

Not in an article, but you could redirect it.{{User:SpikeKnifeNeedleSword/sig}} 16:24, 24 August 2007 (EDT)
:"Petey" is constantly used as a word for Petey Piranha troughout this article and I wonder whether it's ok to write it like that, that's why... - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:27, 24 August 2007 (EDT)
::He has not ever been referred to as just Petey, it is just a common fan word. If you see any "Petey"s in the article, be sure to write it out.{{User:SpikeKnifeNeedleSword/sig}} 17:01, 24 August 2007 (EDT)
:::Okay, that's what [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Petey_Piranha&curid=1722&diff=233064&oldid=233048&rcid=240314 I did]. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 17:05, 24 August 2007 (EDT)

Actually, we should note he is, in fact, called "Petey" in PiT. {{User:Max2/sig}}
