Petey Piranha appears as the first boss of the [[Midair Stadium]] level in [[The Subspace Emissary]]. Prior to the battle, during the [[Subspace Army]]'s invasion on the stadium, Petey Piranha blasts {{SSBU|Mario}} away with a cannonball and captures both {{SSBB|Peach}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}} in cages, leaving {{SSBU|Kirby}} to battle him. He can be defeated by destroying one of the cages. The player can also attack his head, which splits the damage received to both cages.

Once one of the cages' health is depleted, the cage will break and free one of the princesses inside while Petey Piranha catches on fire, collapses, and explodes. If both cages' health is depleted simultaneously via an attack on his head, the game will randomly decide which princess is freed. The unsaved princess will be turned into a trophy by {{SSBB|Wario}}. At the last level, [[Tabuu]] resurrects Petey, along with the other bosses, and sends him after the heroes in [[The Great Maze]].

*When idling, if Zelda's cage is attacked, Petey will make a deep grunt, but if Peach's cage is attacked, he will make two sharp grunts. He will not respond to hits on his head.

*Petey Piranha is the only boss to have two health bars, with both being dedicated to objects outside of himself. During the Midair Stadium battle, "Peach's Cage" and "Zelda's Cage" are displayed next to the health bars; in The Great Maze and in Boss Battles, the cages as aforementioned are empty, and the health bars are simply labeled "Cage".

*Much like [[Bowser]] and the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} characters, rather than being voiced by {{s|mariowiki|Toru Minegishi}} with cartoonish voice clips, Petey's voice is comprised of monstrous roars in ''Brawl''.

*In the {{uv|Mario}} series, Petey's neck is located behind the petals on his head, however in ''Brawl'' his neck appears in front of the petals. This was apparently an intentional design choice as it was carried over to ''Ultimate''.
