'''Petey Piranha''' is
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]]'', 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 27:
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.''====

[[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.
Line 38:
===''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.

Petey appears as the first boss in the game, in the [[Grassy Greens Stage]]
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
Line 103 ⟶ 90:
===''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.
===''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.
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.
===''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|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.

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
{{distinguish|Paper Petey Piranha}}
[[File:ShinyPeteyTime.png|thumb|A screenshot of Petey Piranha in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
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]].
==General information==
Line 196 ⟶ 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.

*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.
