Pesce resembles both a large piranha fish and a mouse or rat. When Wario drops into its arena, he should immediately exit the water and jump to one of the platforms on the sides of the pool. If Pesce catches Wario, it will forcefully eject him into the water current below, sending him back to the previous room.
Shortly after the battle begins, a dragonfly will appear that Wario can stand on, and fly around above the water. A fly carrying rancid [[cheese]] will also enter the arena. Wario can bump the fly to make it drop the cheese into the water. If Pesce notices it, it will eat the cheese and become slightly obese. If Wario can get it to eat the cheese three times, Pesce will become too fat to swim, sink to the bottom, and plug up the hole that the water current is flowing through, allowing Wario to reach the [[treasure chest]] in the previous room. The dragonfly will then fly Wario up to the door he had came through before the battle.

The Pesce[3] is a boss in Wario Land 3. It is faced in the Bank of the Wild River. Pesce's name comes from "pesce," the Italian word for fish, though the Pesce resembles both a large piranha fish and a mouse. The Pesce will attempt to catch Wario with its mouth when it is facing towards Wario and if he is underwater. If the Pesce catches Wario, it will move towards the current and spit him out, ejecting Wario from the arena until he hits the wall in the previous area. Touching Pesce on any side will stun Wario momentarily without being ejected. If Wario is outside water, Pesce won't chase him. Above the water, there is a dragonfly that can be used as a platform for Wario to stand on. Occasionally, a fly will fly above the dragonfly and carry cheese. Wario must bump into the fly to drop the cheese into the water, and if Pesce sees the cheese, it will eat it and become bigger. After eating three blocks of cheese, the Pesce will become overweight and sink to the bottom, plugging the hole that the current is flowing through to block the fast-moving current that affects the previous room. A dragonfly will fly up and down to allow Wario to go back to the previous room, where he can reach the previously unreachable Green Chest containing a Statue.
