 Petey Piranha is the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]], where he is fought at the end of [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-Castle]]. Petey is found asleep at first but wakes up when [[Bowser Jr.]] jumps on him. In battle, Petey Piranha goes into the sky before diving down at Mario or Luigi. However, the [[ice]] covering the floor of the room where the battle occurs causes Petey Piranha to slip and fall to the ground afterward, giving Mario an opening to jump on Petey's belly. After two hits, Petey Piranha begins to jump around the room rapidly before repeating his dive attack again. After a third hit, Petey is defeated. If Mario or Luigi manages to defeat Petey, he can continue to [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]], but if he is [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini]], he goes to [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7]] instead.

+Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' as a secret playable character alongside his default partner, [[King Boo]]. Both of them can be unlocked by completing the [[Star Cup]] in [[Mirror Mode]]. Petey Piranha is a heavyweight character, characterized by his [[speed]] and [[weight]], similar to [[Bowser]], although he has very low [[acceleration]]. His signature [[kart]] is the [[Piranha Pipes]], a makeshift vehicle with a [[Warp Pipe]] as the front and back seat each. Petey Piranha and King Boo can have the unique ability to use every character's [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Item]] (except the [[Green Fireball]] and [[Birdo Egg]]).
+====''Mario Kart Tour''====
+Petey Piranha was added as a playable character to ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' in the [[Piranha Plant Tour]]. His special item is the [[Boomerang Flower]].
+====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
+Petey Piranha was added as a playable character in wave 5 of the ''[[Booster Course Pass]]'' in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', alongside [[Wiggler]] and [[Kamek]]. His stats are identical to [[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]]'s and [[Pink Gold Peach]]'s except for his weight, which is the same as Bowser's and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]]'s, with all three of them being the heaviest racers in the game.
+===''Mario Tennis'' series===
+====''Mario Power Tennis''====
+[[File:Petey Piranha MPT artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of Petey Piranha swinging his tennis racket for ''Mario Power Tennis'']]
+In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and its ''[[New Play Control!]]'' version, Petey Piranha is an unlockable character. The player can unlock Petey Piranha by clearing both the Fire and Thunder Special Tournaments in Doubles. Petey Piranha is physically strong and the largest in the game, which allows him to have a long reach, but also brings him some drawbacks. His [[Offensive Power Shot]] is called [[Sludge Racket]], which involves Petey Piranha covering his tennis racket in brown [[goop]] before sending the ball to the opponent. His [[Defensive Power Shot]] is [[Piranha Swingback]], which involves Petey Piranha spitting brown goop next to the ball, from which a [[Piranha Plant]] quickly emerges and hits the ball.

+====''Mario Tennis Aces''====
+[[File:MTA Mario fighting Petey Piranha.png|thumb|Mario fighting Petey Piranha in ''Mario Tennis Aces'']]
+In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Petey Piranha is the boss of [[Ancient Altar]] in Story mode, and he is fought during the mission [[Forest Monster]]. Petey Piranha unusually loses health each time he rallies the ball. He has three units of health, represented by hearts. Each time Petey Piranha loses a heart, he sends several tornadoes at Mario.
+Since January 1, 2019, Petey Piranha has been added as a playable character. He is a power-type character who is characterized by hitting the ball with great force. Petey Piranha is the only character who does not use a tennis racket, as he uses his blades to forcefully hit the ball instead, similar to his role in the ''Mario Baseball'' games.
+===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
+====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
+[[File:Petey Piranha M&LPIT ani.gif|frame|left]]
+[[File:Petey Piranha boss fight MLPiT.png|thumb|x250px|The boss fight against Petey Piranha in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]
+In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Petey Piranha is a boss fought in [[Gritzy Caves]] during the past. When Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] time-travel to the past in search of Peach, they learn that [[Princess Shroob]] has ordered for Peach to be fed to Petey Piranha, so the protagonists run to find him.
+When the [[Mario Bros. (group)|Mario Bros.]] find Petey Piranha, they realize that he has already eaten Peach. The [[Shroob]]s offer Petey [[Kylie Koopa]] as food, eating her too. Petey Piranha leaves, but the Mario Bros. manage to catch up, then the battle against Petey starts.
+In battle, Petey Piranha is able to fly through the air, giving him the ability to evade hammer attacks, burrow underground, and throw rocks at the characters. Petey Piranha is weak to [[Fire (element)|fire]] and [[Ice (element)|ice]], so the [[Fire Flower]] and [[Ice Flower]] can help defeat Petey sooner. Once defeated, Petey Piranha explodes, freeing Kylie Koopa and a [[Cobalt Star]] shard that he had also swallowed earlier. However, there is no sign of Peach, and Kylie Koopa reveals that Petey Piranha spat Peach out before swallowing her, forcing the protagonists to continue their search.
+====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
+[[File:Petey Piranha M&LPJ sprite.png|frame|left]]
+Petey Piranha is the first boss of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He is fought in [[Sunbeam Plains]], where he is sent by [[Bowser]] and [[Paper Bowser]] to attack Mario, Luigi, and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. In battle, Petey Piranha attacks by flying and crashing into the ground to form damaging shockwaves. Petey Piranha can also perform a spin attack. However, if the attack is missed, Petey Piranha becomes dizzy and drops to the ground, during which the Mario Bros. can attack his belly to inflict further damage. When his stomach is attacked, Petey sometimes coughs out [[coin]]s or a [[Goomba]]. For his chase attack, Petey Piranha spits balls of brown goop. Petey Piranha is vulnerable to fire [[Bros. Attack]]s.
+Later, the protagonists encounter [[Paper Petey Piranha]], who steals Paper Mario's [[Copy Block]], giving it the ability to clone himself while facing Mario and Luigi. In battle, the protagonists must defeat all the copies until they can find and defeat the original, though besides this major difference, Paper Petey Piranha has similar attacks to the original Petey Piranha, like being able to fly before slamming the ground with force to generate a shockwave.

+====''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''====
+In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', two Petey Piranhas take the role of basketball hoops in [[Daisy Garden]]. It is the first game with more than one Petey Piranha, effectively showing him to be a species.

+====''Mario Sports Mix''====
+[[File:Feed Petey.png|thumb|Petey Piranha in the Feed Petey minigame in ''Mario Sports Mix'']]

+====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
+[[File:Petey Piranha PMSS.png|frame|left]]
+In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Petey Piranha is a boss fought in [[Rumble Volcano]]. Petey Piranha becomes more powerful than usual from eating a [[Royal Sticker]] from a tribe of [[Spear Guy]]s. Mario and [[Kersti]] search for Petey to retrieve the Royal Sticker, but when they find Petey, he swallows Kersti and runs off, forcing Mario to search for him again to rescue his partner. Upon finding him, Mario battles him.
+In battle, Petey's main method of attack is flying by using his leaves and then slamming down from above. Petey Piranha can also attack by spitting balls of goo and from spin attacks. However, Petey becomes [[dizzy]] from spinning and falls to the ground. While on the ground, Petey is vulnerable to being jumped on, and he spits out Kersti in the process. After enough damage, Petey Piranha is defeated, and he spits out the Royal Sticker that he ate.

+[[File:Petey's Bomb Battle.jpg|thumb|left|Petey in his boss minigame, Petey's Bomb Battle, in ''Mario Party 10'']]
+In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Petey Piranha is the boss of [[Mushroom Park]]. He is fought in the minigame [[Petey's Bomb Battle]], where the characters must throw [[Bomb (Mario franchise)|bombs]] at Petey to score points. Petey is able to inhale a bomb and throw it back at a character, who loses a point if the bomb explodes in from of them.
+====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
+[[File:Petey Piranha's Shell Smackdown.png|thumb|Petey in his boss minigame, Petey Piranha's Shell Smackdown, in ''Mario Party: Star Rush'']]
+Petey Piranha returns as a boss in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. This time, the characters have to attack Petey Piranha by throwing [[Green Shell]]s at him during the boss minigame [[Petey Piranha's Shell Smackdown]]. Petey can perform a spin to defend himself and deflects the [[Koopa Shell]]s back at characters. If a character touches Petey Piranha, they lose a point.
+====''Mario Party: The Top 100'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''====
+Petey Piranha is featured in the minigame [[Piranha's Pursuit]] in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', taking the role of the [[Piranha Plant]] in the original minigame from the first ''[[Mario Party]]''.
+====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
+In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', Petey Piranha is amongst the passengers who can appear in the Koopa Paratroopa Taxi mode of [[Paratroopa Flight School]].
+===Unused appearances===
+In the data of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is data for Petey Piranha, as well as [[Hammer Bro]] and [[Koopa Paratroopa]], suggesting that all three would have been playable characters.

+==''Princess Peach'' appearances==
+===''Super Princess Peach''===
+[[File:Peach crying at Petey Piranha SPP.png|thumb|Peach crying a stream of water into Petey Piranha's mouth in ''Super Princess Peach'']]
+In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Petey Piranha is the first boss. He is fought during the [[Ladida Plains 1-6|sixth stage]] of [[Ladida Plains]]. Petey Piranha is ordered by Bowser to stop [[Princess Peach|Peach]] from advancing to his castle and takes a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] hostage.
+In battle, Petey Piranha attacks by creating shockwaves with his leaves, but he can also summon [[Nipper Plant]]s to assist him. Defeating Petey requires the use of the [[Gloom]] [[vibe]], since Peach has to cry a stream of water to fill Petey Piranha's stomach, causing him to fall over and leaving him vulnerable to being stomped. After three hits, Petey Piranha uses the [[Rage]] vibe and starts flying, requiring more precision from Peach to cry into Petey's mouth.
