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. The kart can be unlocked by winning the 50cc Special Cup, or by playing 600 races.
This kart does not have a bike counterpart, 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 doesn't have a counterpart, the other five being the Blue Falcon, Jet Bubble, Classic Dragster, Phantom, and Zip Zip.
The mouth of the kart opens up when driving; this is most noticeable when it spins out, the player does a trick or blasted out of the cannon in GCN DK Mountain, DK Summit and Maple Treeway, the speed jump in N64 DK's Jungle Parkway and the Launch Star in Rainbow Road.

The Piranha Prowler's acceleration is tied with the Sneakster, Mini Beast, and Shooting Star. Its off-road is tied with the Bullet Bike. Its drift is tied with the Sugarscoot. Its speed is tied with the Mach Bike and the Mini Beast.
