Petey Piranha is thought to be a loyal follower of [[Bowser]], but this is undetermined. He is also thought to be a ruler of his species, as suggested by his Japanese name, '''Boss Pakkun''', with the latter word being derived from "Pakkun Flower," the Japanese name for Piranha Plant. Petey Piranha has multiple special powers to distinguish him from normal Piranha Plants, including spitting [[Graffiti|Goop]], flying, and attacking with vines.
Several other "Giant Piranha Plant" characters appear throughout the ''Mario'' series, many of which bear a resemblance to Petey, including the [[Mom Piranha]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the [[Boss Piranha Plant]] from ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' the [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', the [[Peewee Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Paper Petey Piranha]] from the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games, and [[Petea Piranha]] from ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''.

==History==
Line 17:
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:PeteySMS.png|thumb|250px|left|Petey Piranha's debut in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Petey Piranha is stationed in [[Bianco Hills]], where he covers the landscape with Goop. While Mario is on the landscape in front of the windmill, where the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]] is fought, Petey Piranha shoots Goop at Mario from a very far away distance. When Mario faces him on top of the [[Big Windmill]], Petey Piranha's enormous weight makes the windmill's roof collapse, causing Mario and him to fall into the windmill.
 
Inside, Petey Piranha attacks Mario by spitting Goop at him, and also headbutting him if he comes too close. However, just as he is about to spray Goop, Mario shoots water into his mouth with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], causing his stomach to become filled with water and making him fall to the ground. Mario then [[Ground Pound]]s Petey Piranha's belly three times, causing him to dissolve into Goop and give Mario a [[Shine Sprite]].
Line 26:
 
The player can actually fight Petey Piranha before they complete the first episode of Bianco Hills. Petey is already standing atop the Big Windmill in the first episode, and after the player defeats the [[Polluted Piranha Plant]], the path to the windmill opens, allowing access to Petey. If Mario speaks to the Pianta standing at the windmill, he responds to the fact that he is skipping ahead, asking, "Whuzzah!? Whozat?! What're you doing over here? You're getting a little ahead of yourself, don't you think? Isn't there something else you should do before coming here?" Petey Piranha's second appearance cannot be fought prior to Episode 5, however.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:BossPiranhaNSMB.png|thumb|200px|right|Petey Piranha in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]]

[[Image:Boss Petey Piranha.jpg|thumb|right|A Painting of Petey Piranha]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Petey Piranha is the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]], the snow-ice world. Many [[Piranha Plant]]s appear in Petey Piranha's castle, a subtle hint that he is going to appear as the boss at the end. When he is confronted by Mario or Luigi, he attacks by flying up high, then dropping from the sky, attempting to crush Mario or Luigi beneath him with a move similar to the Ground Pound. Since the floor is made of slippery ice, after attacking, he slips and falls. Then, Mario or Luigi can attack him. After two hits, he starts his attack by jumping from side to side. If Mario defeats him using a [[Mini Mushroom]], he can travel to [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] instead of [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]]. However, he is forced to Ground Pound him to inflict damage upon him when tiny. Once defeated, Petey Piranha attempts to get up while glowing a bright white light (similar to Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario's death animations in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''); he soon vanishes, revealing the key.
 
Petey Piranha is the only boss of this game (other than [[Mega Goomba (boss)|Mega Goomba]]) who can be defeated in one hit with an item other than a [[Mega Mushroom]], although with Petey Piranha, this requires precise timing. The player requires the [[Star]] from the [[Roulette Block]]. It must be grabbed when it bounces near the platform with the [[Super Piranha Plant]]. The player must then quickly run into the door and into Petey Piranha's room. When he starts flying, the player should jump into him before the Star's power runs out, and he will be defeated instantly.
 
The game's internal file ironically refers to Petey Piranha as Boss Piranha Plant. Coincidentally, this is the same name given to a virtually identical boss in ''Super Princess Peach''.

Petey makes his first playable appearance in a spin-off game in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. In this game, he is an unlockable character, obtainable by completing all side games (excluding the Birdie Challenge) on beginner, intermediate, and expert. His large size makes him the most powerful golfer in the game, capable of hitting the longest distance and launching the ball with a higher trajectory than any other character. This means that he can easily hit over trees, but his shot is the affected by wind more than any other character. When he hits the ball with his club, a golden streak follows the ball, like the tail of a comet. Like the other unlockable characters, his star character is available when he is unlocked.

===''Mario Pinball Land''===
[[File:PeteyPiranhapinballPetey Piranha MPL battle.png|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Pinball Land''.]]
Petey Piranha makes an appearance in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bmvj/time_s1.html Super Mario Ball Speedrun]</ref> Here, he has a long neck, a more outward mouth, a round body, and no feet. Petey appears as the first boss in the game, in the [[Grassy Greens Stage]] area. Before Mario can face him, he has to earn enough stars to open the Star Door at the entrance of the windmill. Once he has opened the door, Petey is fought. Mario has to hit the body three times while distracting Petey's head to beat him. Should Mario linger in front of Petey, the plant will snap him up in his mouth and then spit him towards the middle of the flippers, possibly forcing Mario to restart the battle. The fact that he is fought in a windmill is a clear reference to ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where the first fight with him is in a windmill as well. Petey Piranha can also be rematched in the [[Fiery Stage]], alongside the rest of the bosses.

[[File:peteybaseball.png|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''.]]
Petey makes an appearance in the first game of the ''Mario Baseball'' series, ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', as a team member of Wario's in Challenge Mode. In this game he is a Power type character, the strongest in the game with a batting stat of 9/10, tied with Bowser. He is also the slowest runner, with a running stat of 1/10, tied with Red Pianta, Yellow Pianta, Bowser, and most [[Magikoopa]]s. In this game, he has good chemistry with [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[King Boo]], but he has bad chemistry with [[Princess Daisy]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Noki]], and [[Pianta]]. His chemistry with Birdo tied over to the next game. He has the ability to Body Check, saving him in tight pinches. He also has the strongest throwing arm in the game (despite the fact that his pitching is only around average), and he cannot get body checked when on a base. Also notable is when Petey is fielding, he does not try to catch the ball with a glove and instead eats the ball if he catches it.

====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[File:Petey slugggers flowerpot.jpg|thumb|right|Petey in Peach's flower pot in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]
Petey Piranha reappears in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' again as a Power character. However, unlike in the previous installment, he is available from the start. He also still retains his ability to Body Check, being the only player who can do so. He is also the only player who can perform the [[Piranha Catch]]. Unlike in the last game, he is on [[Peach Monarchs|Peach's team]]. In Challenge Mode, he appears in [[Peach Ice Garden]] in an empty flower pot. If Princess Peach uses her special ability, Petey Piranha appears. To get him to join, the player has to hit the ball into the yellow circle three times. In this game he has compatibility with Birdo, King Boo, [[Blooper]], and [[Wiggler]], but he has bad chemistry with [[Pianta]], [[Noki]], and [[Baby Mario]]. He also appears on the box's game cover, behind [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]].
 
Line 92 ⟶ 89:
In both ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Petey is the only character who does not use a bat/glove or any item at all to hit/catch the ball, as he uses his leaf-like arm. As mentioned before, Petey eats the ball while fielding and simply uses his mouth as a glove.
 
===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:Spp1.jpg|thumb|left|Peach battling Boss Piranha Plant in ''Super Princess Peach'']]
[[File:Petey Piranha SPP sprite.png|frame|right]]
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', he is named '''Boss P. Plant''' (short for '''Boss Piranha Plant'''), although the European version uses the regular name of Petey Piranha. Boss P. Plant is the first boss, and he is fought at the end of [[Ladida Plains]]. When Peach arrives she happily approaches an imprisoned Toad but then, Boss Piranha Plant emerges from the ground and swallows the Toad, who is trapped in the ball, and Peach has to defeat Boss Piranha Plant to rescue the Toad. His attacks send shockwaves, pushing back Peach, shooting [[Nipper Plant]]s, shooting one shockwave to the left and one to the right (which can defeat Nipper Plants if there are any not defeated by the princess), and if she is using a vibe power, ending it. Peach has to use her [[Gloom]] vibe to make the two plants grow so that she can leap on a leaf and once again use the vibe to put her streams of tear into Boss Piranha Plant and inflate him, making him fall and reveal his weak spot: his belly button. Peach has to jump on his belly five times to defeat him. After 3 hits, Boss Piranha Plant turns red and becomes faster. Boss Piranha Plant can also bounce around at this point, making Peach's attack tough, and additionally send 2 shockwaves to each side. Once defeated, Boss Piranha Plant explodes and the Toad is saved.

[[Image:Petey Piranha Grounds.gif|thumb|left|Petey Piranha on the ground.]]
[[Image:Flying Petey.gif|thumb|left|Petey Piranha flying dangerously fast.]]
In the [[Koopaseum]] of the Mushroom Kingdom's past, shown in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Princess Peach]] is fed to Petey Piranha by [[Princess Shroob]]'s orders. Shortly afterwards, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] enter the [[Gritzy Caves]] beneath the Koopaseum to find Petey and save Peach. On their way, they encounter two [[Shroob]]s with [[Kylie Koopa]], whom they have suspended by a rope. Petey then emerges from the ground and the Shroobs cut Kylie's rope, feeding her to Petey as well as the princess. But before the Mario Bros. can do anything, he burrows away. Petey acts as the boss of the [[Gritzy Desert]] and the game's 3rd major boss.
 
Once Petey Piranha is finally engaged in battle, his attacks include diving into the sand and ejecting rocks towards the Mario Bros. To dodge this assault, they have to look at how Petey dives, and they must jump with the according Bro. Petey starts the battle hovering, but after being hit by multiple attacks, he falls into the sand, being buried up to his head. His other main attack, while grounded, involves going underground and swallowing the sand, trying to drag the Mario Bros. into his mouth. The brothers have to jump up and down to not get consumed. He can also spit out [[Piranha Pest]]s that have to be hammered away multiple times. After a certain number of turns, he jumps out of the sand and resumes hovering. He can, once again, be knocked out of the air. He is especially susceptible to [[Fire Flower|fire]] and [[Ice Flower|ice]]. Once defeated, Petey Piranha explodes and both Kylie and a [[Cobalt Star Shard]] fly out of him, but Princess Peach does not. Kylie explaines that when she is eaten she sees the princess; however, Petey spits her out right after swallowing said Kylie.
 
This encounter hintsseems to hint that Petey may have become familiar with the Mario brothers and Princess Peach before his debut in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This also hintsseemed to hint that Petey may well be considerably older than most other characters like Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Bowser since they are all babies at this point.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
[[File:Daisy garden.PNG|thumb|200px|left|One of the two Petey Piranhas in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''.]]
Two Petey Piranhas appear in the [[Daisy Garden]] court as the baskets in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and try to keep anyone from making a slam dunk. They fall asleep approximately every 30 seconds, making dunks possible during that time. If a team dunks three times in the first half without letting their opponents score, a blue seed appears in a [[? Panel]]. If the team takes it and wins the game, a secret court called [[Malboro Garden]] is playable, which features plant-like monsters from the ''Final Fantasy'' series that move slowly from side to side behind the hoops and breathe out a purple gas that stuns players.

Petey Piranha appears asis an unlockable captaincharacter in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. HeMore specifically, he is the final unlockable character in the game, unlocked by beating the final cup, the [[Striker Cup]], which involves beating Petey in the [[Stormship Stadium]] stage. Petey Piranha is a Power player, making him good at tackling and shooting; however, he cannot pass or run very well. His [[Super Ability]], [[Mud Slinger!]], causes him to spit mud on the ground, which slows everyone down but him. He can use this move up to four times in one Super Ability. Petey Piranha's Deke involves him rapidly banging his head backwards and forwards to prevent opponents from stealing the ball. In his [[Mega Strike]], Petey is enclosed in a large bud, while a stem sprouts from the ground and takes him above the stage, where he spits the ball at the goal.
 
He is the final unlockable character in the game, unlocked by beating the final cup, the [[Striker Cup]], which involves beating Petey in the [[Stormship Stadium]] stage. Petey is not shown in the opening cinematics of the game. Since [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] (the other two unlockables) did make brief appearances in that cinema, he is the only character in the game not shown in the opening.
 
His theme music when he scores a point is calypso. One of his winning animations involves him doing the limbo with his team players, while one of his "losing animations" (sometimes when the opponent scores a point) Petey walks angrily to one of the opponents, eats them, and lets them back out, covering the player in mud. Petey is the only captain to wear a helmet in this game.
 
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
[[File:MSM Mini-1.png|thumb|left|Petey Piranha in ''Mario Sports Mix''.]]
Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' on [[Daisy Garden]], as an NPC. During a basketball match, Petey reprises his role from ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', acting as the hoop, and during a dodgeball match, Petey stands on the side of the playing area and will spit Goop that will act as obstacles to the players. Petey stars in his very own party game called [[Feed Petey]], where players try to feed as much fruit to him within the time allotted.

Petey Piranha first appears as a boss in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. He resided in [[Rumble Volcano]] and was the one responsible for the eruptions, he ate a [[Royal Sticker]] that came descending on the Island as the [[Spear Guy]]s watched in horror.
 
When Mario and [[Kersti]] arrive at Rumble Volcano, Petey Piranha arrives, swallows Kersti, and retreated to his platform unfortunately, the hole in the bridge prevented Mario from follwing him. After [[Paper Mario (character)|Mario]] finally reaches him, Petey engages him in battle.
 
He mainly fights by flying with his leaves before slamming down on Mario. He can also spit at Mario which can sometimes cause him to gain the "[[soggy]]" status effect. After losing [[HP]], he uses his leaves to spin around rapidly to attack Mario but doing so makes him [[dizzy]]. Sometimes, Mario gets [[dizzy]] if he is hit by this attack. If he is attacked in this state, his weak point (his belly button) becomes exposed, which makes him vulnerable to serious damage. Once he is attacked he eventually spits out [[Kersti]], several Jump stickers, and a [[Dry Bones]]. After he is defeated, he explodes and gives up the [[Royal Sticker]]. Petey has 300 HP. When he has 100 HP left, he begins a more powerful attack when he bites [[Mario]] 3 times. Each time he bites [[Mario]], he deals 7 damage. Once he is defeated, he explodes into confetti and reveals the Green Royal Sticker.
 
This is the first appearance in which Petey Piranha speaks English, albeit one line.

Petey is the first boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]. After Bowser joins the Subspace Army in its attempts to conquer "[[World of Trophies|this world]]," Petey and the [[Ancient Minister]] lead an attack on the [[Midair Stadium]], where Mario and Kirby are having a friendly brawl. After capturing the spectating [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Zelda]] in cages, Petey blasts Mario away with a cannonball from his mouth before Mario can destroy a [[Subspace Bomb]] that has been dropped by the Ancient Minister, leaving Kirby as his only opponent. Petey attacks by swinging the cages at him, as well as jumping into the air and potentially causing damage from the impact of landing. Kirby has to attack the cages to weaken them, saving one of the princesses (attacking Petey himself deals damage to both cages). Petey Piranha has no other attacks beside body slamming the player and swinging the cages around. However, only one princess can be saved, and the other princess is changed back into a [[Trophy]] by [[Wario]], who then steals it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha suddenly bursts into flames. Petey also has two stickers depicting him, with both of them being very large. The first is his artwork for ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and increases the power of darkness attacks by 47 and is only usable by [[Ganondorf]]. The second is his artwork for ''Mario Strikers Charged'' and it increases the power of bite attacks by 32 and is only usable by [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Pokémon Trainer]] and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]].

Like other bosses, he gains power from a [[Royal Sticker]] that he took and ate from a tribe of [[Spear Guy]]s who described him as gluttonous. Upon first sighting [[Mario]] and [[Kersti]], he swallows her whole, forcing [[Mario]] to go after him. Presumably during this time, he also ate several [[Koopa]]s and [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|stickers]]. Once found, he immediately attacks [[Mario]].

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
{{main|Petey Piranha/Characteristics}}
Petey Piranha is certainly recognizable as a Piranha Plant, but he differs starkly from a typical one. According to ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', he got his looks from a mutation. Petey is characterized by a remarkably large head and a comparably small body. He has a round, protuberant belly and a large belly button, but it's only visible if his stomach is inflated with a great quantity of water. Additionally, he has leaf-like arms and stubby legs, both of which grant him mobility beyond his pipe-dwelling "cousins". He also has green lips, which are similar to the lips of the old Piranha Plants but now contrast the white lips of the new Piranha Plants. He wears red pants with white polka dots, matching the coloration of his head. His most distinguishing feature is a ring of yellow petals with orange rims around his head, resembling a crown or a mane. In his first appearance, these petals have an iridescent quality, becoming a vibrant, fiery orange or a shiny white (with pinkish rims) depending on the angle of the light, but this trait is no longer present beyond ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Petey is also of a much greater size than normal Piranha Plants, easily standing six times Mario's height, though when depicted with a sprite or encountered in sports and spin-offs, he's smaller. ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' is the first game to portray Petey Piranha with a tongue, which was also seen in every game following.
Petey Piranha is one lucky Piranha Plant. Instead of popping in and out of a green pipe, he gets the opportunity to roam free on his spiky, green legs (although he prefers to drive in Mario Kart). His chest is dotted with dark green spots, and sharp, spiny leaves serve as his arms. His head is huge compared to his body, and it is red with white dots speckled on it. Yellow petals outlined in orange surround his head. He has big green lips, and his teeth are extra deadly and sharper than an ordinary Piranha Plant. His only article of clothing is a pair of red and white dotted underwear. No one knows why he likes that pair of underwear so much, but some just guess he wears them because they make him look amazingly trendy. Amazingly.

==Trivia==
*It is unknown, but Petey Piranha may be native to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. In ''[[Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|it'sits remake]], a Beanbean Piranha Plant known as a [[Piranha Bean]] appeared, which appears to be the same species as Petey. There is no solid evidence for this theory however.
*Petey Piranha being the boss of the 5th world in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', encountered in a volcano in a tropical jungle, mirrors how [[Lava Piranha]] is the boss of the 5th chapter in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and is encountered in the volcanic [[Mt. Lavalava]] of the tropical [[Lavalava Island]]. As well, both characters are [[Piranha Plant]]s.
