Peewee Piranha
- Not to be confused with Petey Piranha.
Template:GBoss-infobox Peewee Piranha is a mini-boss who appears in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. It appears in the Sky Station Galaxy.
The player first encounters Peewee Piranha enclosed in an egg, much like the Dino Piranha in the first game. It looks very similar to the Dino Piranha, except it has green petals, and its entire backside is always protected by the eggshell unless hit. Peewee Piranha attacks mainly by charging at the player, much like its predecessor. The player will need to hit the shell to expose its bulbous and throbbing bright orange rump. After the player hits the Peewee Piranha from behind thrice, including breaking the eggshell and revealing its enormous rump, it will become angry like Dino Piranha and attempt to attack him. It will reform its shell for protection and begin to charge at the player again. Its attacks are now much faster and it can also lunge at the player. He will need to hit the eggshell, reveal its huge underside, and hit its behind again to defeat it, granting him the Power Star. Peewee Piranha appears in the mission, "Peewee Piranha's Temper Tantrum".
The player does face Peewee Piranha twice, with the second fight being under the Speedy Comet conditions.

Trivia
- Like Dino Piranha from the first Super Mario Galaxy, Peewee Piranha resembles Petey Piranha, with one particular feature that it eggshell must be attacked. Also, both are the first mini-bosses of their respective games and are first encountered enclosed in an egg.
- Peewee's name derives from the word "pee-wee", which is a word that can be used to describe something small or immature, which Peewee Piranha obviously is, and may have also derived from Petey Piranha.
- Every time Peewee Piranha takes a step, a squeaking noise can be heard.
