===The First Fight ===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' in the past of [[Koopaseum]], Petey ate [[Princess Peach]] and [[Kylie Koopa]]. Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] went into the caves and fought him to save Peach and Kylie.

Petey Piranha was defeated and he disappeared. While many fans wonder what he was doing in a desert and what he was doing in the past, fans say that this might be his father, or Petey Piranha was created by the [[Shroob]]s.

There is another theory that when Petey Piranha was a young [[Piranha Sprout]] or [[Nipper Plant]],  he ate a chemical that formed him into a mysterious piranha plant. Meanwhile other Nipper Plants evolve into regular piranha plants, which would explain why he has the ability to spew out [[goop]].

== Characteristics ==
=== Petey Piranha Returns ===
Petey appears to be a larger, much more powerful version of a [[Piranha Plant]] (known as "pakkun flower" in Japan), a minor enemy dating back to the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros]]''. Whereas normal Piranha Plants usually grow from pipes, Petey seems to have grown his leaves and roots into foot-like and arm-like appendages. He can walk and even flutter about in the air. Furthermore, Petey sports a pair of white-spotted red briefs; a first for any Piranha Plant. Petey's head is framed with petals, which no other of his kind seem to have. Although Petey does not speak, he does make some disturbing growling, drooling and licking noises, which, according to subtitles in [[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]], actually have meaning. Petey's bio in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' notes that his state is the result of mutation, one possibly caused by the [[Shroobs]], not [[Bowser|Bowser's]] magic.


Petey seems fearsome, but he is not as bad as he'd like you to believe. He often acts unintentionally comically during the fights against [[Mario]]. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', for example, Petey bloats up when Mario shoots water into his mouth, causing his large belly button to pop out of his stomach, exposing his weak point.
Even if he was said to be defeated, Petey appeared as a bos in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'' and ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''.  


Petey can also spit out mud-like Earth Goop, a substance similar to that of [[Shadow Mario|Shadow Mario's]] [[Magic Paintbrush|Paintbrush]], which can make the ground slippery and sometimes generate more goop-based monsters. When Mario defeats Petey, Petey turns into the goop and melts away.
Later, Petey srated playing sports with Mario and his friends. He first showed up as an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', in which his large size made him the most powerful golfer in the game. In ''[[<ario Power Tennis]]'', Petey's bulk served him well again, as he was one of the more powerful competitors. His special attack involved swallowing his racket, puking it up, and spitting it at the ball at a high speed.  


== Subsequent appearances ==
Finally, Petey had the ability to bodycheck other players in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', making him an effective character in close plays.

[[Image:PeteyPiranha.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Petey Piranha as of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]
Petey Piranha has reappeared in several games as a boss a notable feat, in that many minor Mario characters have a tendency to disappear shortly after they debut. Petey appears as a boss in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Like former Mario villains [[Wario]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Birdo]], Petey has also made a habit of appearing in other Mario franchises as a playable character.


In sports games, Petey frequently uses his large size and his bizarre digestive system to his advantage. He first showed up as an unlockable character in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', in which his large size made him the most powerful golfer in the game. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Petey's bulk served him well again, as he was one of the more powerful competitors.

Petey also appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash]]'' with [[King Boo]] as his partner. They both had the ability to use any character's special item. Because of this advantage, some players refuse to play in his presence . Petey's personal kart is the "[[Piranha Pipes]]", a vehicle assembled out of the Piranha Plant's trademark green tubing.
 
Stranegely two Petey Piranha-like characters appear in the [[Daisy Garden]] court as the basket in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and try to keep anyone from making a slamdunk. It is possible that these are Piranha plants of the same species as Petey, and that Petey is a specie and maybe the Peteys Mario has fought before are not always the same, explaining why he always died and came back.


In ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Petey was paired with [[King Boo]]. The two were formidable racers. They had the ability to use any character's special item.

=== Petey in the Ice World ===


In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Petey Piranha is the boss of World 5, the ice world. Petey attacks by flying up high, then dropping from the sky, crushing any opponents beneath him. If Mario or [[Luigi]] can defeat him using a [[Mini Mushroom]], they will travel to World 7 instead of World 6.

Sports Info

When Petey hits the ball with his club in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour it goes blasting off the course in a golden streak. When he's playing baseball, he catches and throws the ball with his mouth, but when he's batting he hits the ball with his leaf-like arm. His sweet spot is the vein of his arm.
