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]]''.

[[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]].
