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.
There are several other giant Piranha Plant characters in the ''Mario'' franchise, many of whom bear a resemblance to Petey, including the [[Mom Piranha]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'',

[[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 (
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.

===''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''===
[[File:ToadstoolTour Petey Piranha Mug.png|frame|left]]
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.

[[File:Petey 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]]. 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.

Line 108 ⟶ 95:
===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
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.
Line 129 ⟶ 100:
This encounter seems to hint that Petey may have become familiar with the Mario brothers and Princess Peach before his debut in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. This also seemed 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
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
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|
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.

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]].
==General information==
Line 198 ⟶ 156:
{{main|Petey Piranha/Characteristics}}
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.

*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|
*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.
