'''Petey Piranha''' is an abnormally large mutant [[Piranha Plant]] with petals on his head all around his chin. His first appearance is in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and since then has become a common boss in [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] titles, despite seemingly being destroyed after each encounter. He also consistently appears in sports games and spin-offs. Petey Piranha is thought to be a loyal follower of [[Bowser]], but this is undetermined. It is quite likely that he is the ruler of his kind, as suggested by his Japanese name, '''Boss Pakkun''', "Pakkun Flower" being the Japanese name for the Piranha Plant. He has multiple special powers that set him apart from normal Piranha Plants, including spitting [[Graffiti|Goop]], flying, and attacking with vines.
'''Petey Piranha''' is a massive mutated [[Piranha Plant]] with petals on his head all around his chin. He first appears as a [[boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Since his debut, Petey Piranha has typically appeared as a boss or, in the case of ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' spinoff series, a playable character, usually having to be unlocked first.


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.

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]].
