In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Petey Piranha is the boss of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]], the ice world. Many [[Piranha Plant]]s appear in [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)|Petey's castle]], a subtle hint that he is going to appear as the boss at the end. Before the fight, he is sleeping, but [[Bowser Jr.]] jumps on him, causing him to awaken. When he is confronted by Mario or Luigi, he attacks by flying up high, then dropping back down, attempting to crush Mario or Luigi beneath him with a move similar to the Ground Pound. Since the floor is made of slippery ice, after attacking, he slips and falls. Then, Mario or Luigi can attack him. After two hits, he starts his attack by jumping from side to side. If Mario defeats him using a [[Mini Mushroom]], he can travel to [[World 7 (NSMB)|World 7]] instead of [[World 6 (NSMB)|World 6]]. However, he is forced to Ground Pound him to inflict damage upon him when tiny. Once defeated, Petey Piranha attempts to get up while glowing a bright white light; he soon vanishes, revealing the key.

If the player has already beaten Petey Piranha once and decides to fight him again, Bowser Jr. will not be present, and he will wake up on his own instead.

Petey Piranha is mentioned as one of the answer choices to one of [[Pokey (character)|Pokey]]'s riddles in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' — specifically, "What [[Mario Golf (series)|golfs]], [[Mario Party (series)|parties]], and [[Mario Kart (series)|rides on a kart]]?". Mario is the correct answer, however, since Petey has yet to appear in a ''Mario Party'' game as a playable character and would not appear in one at all until ''[[Mario Party 10]]''.
