Petey Piranha is a large mutant Piranha Plant who debuted in Super Mario Sunshine. Since then, he has become a recurring boss in the Mario series and has made frequent appearances in sports and spin-off games, occasionally as a playable character. He has multiple abilities that set him apart from other Piranha Plants, including spitting goop, flying using his leaf-like arms, and the ability to create tornadoes.

Petey Piranha is a loyal follower of Bowser, and it has been suggested in bios for Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Party: Star Rush, as well as by his Japanese name, Boss Packun, that he is the ruler of his kind, with "Packun Flower" being the Japanese name for the Piranha Plant. This is confirmed by the encyclopedia in Mario Party Superstars, in which he is stated to be the leader of the Piranha Plants.
