The Piranha Prowler is a kart that appears in Mario Kart Wii. It is a large kart, meaning that it's only compatible with large sized characters. The character's emblem is on the kart's forehead. It's also seen on both sides of the vehicle. The kart is designed to resemble a Piranha Plant, specifically Petey Piranha.
The Piranha Prowler is the heaviest among all the other vehicles. So that way, the player is less likely to be knocked around everywhere. It also has good speed, but most other stats are just a little bit low (not as low as the Jetsetter kart, though).
This kart does not have a bike counterpart. In fact, no other vehicle has stats that are similar to this kart's stats.
