Petey Piranha (Final Smash)

Petey Piranha (, Boss Packun) is 's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview
Piranha Plant summons Petey Piranha. He jumps around capturing opponents in the cages he holds while the player has free control of Piranha Plant. Petey will move in the same direction Piranha Plant is moving, will jump further the more tilted control stick is, and will jump higher if a jump input is held. Opponents that are hit by a cage will take 5% damage and be placed into a cage if one isn't already occupied. If he does a high jump, he will deal 5% damage when landing. After three seconds, he will stop and breathe fire on both cages, dealing 5% to those in the cages and 3% to opponents outside of the cages. He will then slam the cages onto the ground, dealing 20% to those in the cages and those hit by the slam, then fly away. Petey Piranha can fall off of ledges, though players in the cages will be propelled upward before they hit the blast zone.

Origin
Petey Piranha first appeared in  and has appeared - usually as a boss, but many times as a playable character - in various Mario titles since. His cages are based on his appearance as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, where he captured and  in said cages and flung them around, similarly to how he flings them down during the Final Smash. This is the first time he is shown able to breathe fire, as he usually spits out poisonous toxins and goop in the Mario series, with the fire-breathing ability being possibly derived from the.
