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.

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 (NSMB)|World 7]] instead of [[World 6 (NSMB)|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''.
