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 Baseball'' series===
Petey is playable in both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. He is a Power-type character, with batting as his highest stat, and the only character who does not use any sports equipment, using his leaf-like arms for pitching and batting. While fielding, Petey catches the ball into his mouth while fielding. Petey Piranha's ability is [[Body Check]], and he is the only character who can use it in ''Mario Super Sluggers''. He is one of the slowest runners.
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
Petey appears in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' as an unlockable character. He is a member of [[Wario]]'s team in Challenge Mode and can be unlocked by completing said mode as Wario's team. Petey has a batting stat of 9/10, tied with Bowser. He is also tied with Red Pianta, Yellow Pianta, [[Bowser]], and most [[Magikoopa]] colors as the slowest runner, having a stat of 1/10.
Petey shares good chemistry with [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[King Boo]] whilst having bad chemistry with [[Princess Daisy]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Noki]], and [[Pianta]]. Petey Piranha has the strongest throwing arm despite his pitching being roughly average. Petey cannot be body checked when on a base.
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[File:Petey Piranha Sluggers.png|thumb|left|Petey Piranha batting in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Petey was changed to being playable from the start. Petey is the only player who can perform the [[Piranha Catch]]. He is displayed on the game cover, behind [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]].
Petey shares good chemistry with  Birdo, King Boo, [[Blooper]], and [[Wiggler]] whilst having poor chemistry with [[Pianta]], [[Noki]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Daisy]] and [[Baby Mario]].
Petey's batting is now tied with not only Bowser but also [[King K. Rool]]. Petey has roughly average fielding, relatively weak pitching, and remains slow at running. Petey Piranha's stamina is quite lackluster, since he gets exhausted rather quickly while pitching, even more than King K. Rool.
In Challenge mode, Petey is now a member of Peach's team, [[Peach Monarchs]]. He is first seen in [[Peach Ice Garden]], inside of an empty flower pot. If Peach uses her special ability, Petey Piranha appears. To get Petey to join, the player has to hit the ball into the yellow circle three times.

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.

==''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances==
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
[[File:Petey Piranha SSBB.png|thumb|Petey Piranha, holding Zelda and Peach in a cage each, in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is the first boss of [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], similar to how he is the first boss in certain ''Mario'' games. Petey Piranha is fought at the [[Midair Stadium]], where after Mario and Kirby fight off several enemies of the [[Subspace Army]], a cannonball suddenly launches at the former, fly off. Kirby is then confronted by Petey Piranha, who is carrying two large [[Cage (Super Smash Bros. series)|cages]] imprisoning [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] respectively.

In battle, Petey attacks by jumping or by sliding one of the cages at Kirby. Unlike other bosses, Petey Piranha does not have a health meter, which is assigned to each cage instead. To defeat Petey Piranha, Kirby has to destroy either cage to free the trapped princess.
Once either cage has lost 2/3 of its health or lower, Petey Piranha roars and receives a reddish glow. His attacks also become faster, more damaging, and receive greater [[knockback]].
Once the princess is freed, Petey is defeated, somehow being set on fire in the process. The plot is affected slightly, depending on which princess has been freed.
Petey Piranha is later fought in [[The Great Maze]] stage. The boss fight is nearly the same, with the biggest difference being that neither cage has an imprisoned princess. The setting is also depicted with a clear blue sky. This iteration of the battle is used for Petey's battle in the unlockable [[Boss Battles Mode]].
====Trophy====
There is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Petey Piranha that can be unlocked by throwing a [[Trophy Stand]] at him in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary.

|description=A colossal Piranha Plant. Unlike its pipe-inhabiting cousins, it uses its legs to walk around. It can fly, too. As you might expect, it often appears as a boss character in Mario adventures. This may come as a surprise, but it also displays surprising dexterity in kart races and ball games.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Petey Piranha is summoned during Piranha Plant's [[Final Smash]]. Upon being summoned, Petey Piranha begins to jump around and tries trapping the user's opponents into a pair of [[Cage (Super Smash Bros. series)|cages]], referencing his role in Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He slams on the ground and breathe fire into, damaging the trapped players. After attacking them for a while, Petey Piranha slams the cages into the ground even harder, breaking them, and then leaves.
There are two collectible [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]] of Petey Piranha, one depicting his artwork from ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' and the other from ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''.
