Petey Piranha first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'' as the boss for episodes [[mariowiki:Down with Petey Piranha!|2]] and [[mariowiki:Petey Piranha Strikes Back|5]] of {{s|mariowiki|Bianco Hills}}. In both battles, his main methods of attacks are spitting out large amounts of [[mariowiki:Graffiti|brown goop]] on Mario, and if the player gets close enough, hitting Mario with his head by spinning it around himself. In episode 5, he gains the ability to swing his arm to cause a tornado that sends Mario flying upward.
Petey Piranha made his debut as a boss in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', and has become a recurring boss in the ''Mario'' series. He is a larger version of a [[Piranha Plant]] with a red-and-white spots head with iridescent petals and big green lips, leaf-like arms, stubby legs, and a pair of pants with the same color scheme as its head.
 
Petey Piranha first appeared as a boss in episodes [[mariowiki:Down with Petey Piranha!|2]] and [[mariowiki:Petey Piranha Strikes Back|5]] in the {{s|mariowiki|Bianco Hills}} area. In the second episode, he is seen spitting large amounts of [[mariowiki:Graffiti|brown goop]] from atop a windmill, and in the fifth episode, he is seen sleeping on a cliff, where he can be awakened with a {{s|mariowiki|Poink}}. In both boss battles, he attacks by spitting his brown goop on Mario, and if the player gets close enough, hitting Mario with his head by spinning it around himself. In the fifth episode, he gains the ability to fly and swing his arm to cause a tornado that sends Mario flying upward. He can be defeated by using [[F.L.U.D.D.]] to spray large amounts of water in his mouth before he spits out his goop to expose his belly button on his engorged belly, which can be ground-pounded on three times.


Petey Piranha also appears as a boss in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.}}'' as the boss of {{iw|mariowiki|World 5|New Super Mario Bros.}}. In that game, he flies above the player and will try to stomp on them.

In ''Brawl'', Petey Piranha's attack where he swings the cages he is holding is similar to his swinging motion in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', except he does not cause a tornado. His stomping attack in ''Brawl'' is very similar to his attack in ''New Super Mario Bros.''.
While the cutscene prior to the first fight with him seemingly depicts him spitting out a cannonball at Mario, Petey Piranha has never had the ability to do so in the ''Mario'' series.

Petey Piranha appears as the first boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode, holding the cages of both {{SSBB|Peach}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}} at the end of the [[Midair Stadium]]. The player, who is controlling {{SSBB|Kirby}}, must destroy one of the cages to defeat Petey. The player can also attack Petey's head, which splits the damage received to both cages.
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 a cage's health is depleted, he will break and free the princess inside while Petey catches on fire, collapses, and explodes. If both cages' health is depleted simultaneously via an attack on Petey's 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]].

Like all bosses, Petey can be fought outside of The Subspace Emissary in [[Boss Battles Mode]]. During this mode or in The Great Maze, Petey's cages will be empty and the sky in the arena will be blue (compared to in the Midair Stadium, where his cages will contain the two princesses and the sky will be an ominous red).

Rather than being voiced by Toru Minegishi who voiced the character in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Petey Piranha has a set of realistic monstrous beast roars, similar to how [[Donkey Kong]], [[Bowser]], and [[Diddy Kong]] were given realistic animal sounds.

Despite Petey Piranha making no appearance whatsoever in either version of Smash 4, he has unused animations in the ''Wii U'' version that are unique and are separate from ''[[Brawl]]''. [https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._for_Wii_U/Unused_Animations#Petey_Piranha]

Even more curiously, there are no leftover models, textures, sounds or parameters with which these animations would correspond, as only the animations appear to remain in the game. The lack of leftover assets would appear to imply that Petey Piranha was scrapped at a very early stage in development.

Cosmetically, Petey Piranha has a more saturated color scheme than he did in ''Brawl'', and is more smoothly textured (i.e. no cracks in his skin as in the aforementioned title).

*Oddly, while Petey Piranha is seen spitting out a cannonball at Mario in the Subspace Emissary, in the ''Mario'' series, Petey Piranha has never had the ability to do so.
*If the player battles against Petey using Peach or Zelda in their default costumes, they will still be seen in the cage with the same costume.

*The models used for Peach and Zelda in the cages are of much lower resolution than the characters themselves and do not have fingers or legs.
