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. Additionally, his sheer size causes him to be often depicted as even stronger and heavier than regular powerhouse characters like [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. However, his stubby legs make him very slow on the ground, while his massive head leaves him top-heavy and easy to knock over.

Once Mario has opened the door and entered the windmill, Petey is fought. Mario has to hit the body while distracting Petey's head to beat him. Hitting him grants 10,000 points each time. Should Mario linger in front of Petey, he snaps Mario up in his mouth and then spits him towards the middle of the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s, possibly forcing Mario to restart the battle. Hitting Petey three times defeats him and grants 500,000 points. Once defeated, he leaves behind four [[coin|Yellow Coins]] and [[Blue Coin]]s each and a [[Star Key (Mario Pinball Land)|Star Key]]. The fact that he is fought in a windmill is a reference to ''Super Mario Sunshine'', where the first fight with him is in a windmill as well.

He is also the largest character in the game, giving him a very large reach, but opponents have an easier time hitting him. Also, if he charges up his shot and the opponent hits it, the opponent gets pushed back a little. His [[Power Shot]]s are [[Sludge Racket]] and [[Piranha Swingback]]. The first involves swallowing his racket, spitting it up, and swinging it at the ball at a high speed, while the latter involves him spitting a [[Proto Piranha]] near the ball, which then hits it back to the other side of the court, the shot is a Drop Shot. His default Doubles partner is Wiggler, who is a Defense type character, making them an effective team.

 In his victory scene, Petey is given his trophy by Mario with Peach, a Purple Toad, Shy Guy, and Koopa Troopa. Petey starts dancing, shaking the ground and knocking the five off balance, before leaping in the air. The five of them then close their eyes in anticipation of Petey slamming back onto the ground, but are relieved when they see him flying in the air with the trophy in his mouth.
+In the Special Game [[Tic-Tac-Glow]], several smaller Petey Piranhas resembling his appearance in ''Mario Pinball Land'' appear on the sidelines, spitting goop onto the court. Their models appear to be combined from Petey's and normal Piranha Plants' from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', having the lip stripes, petals, and goop-spitting ability of the former, but the lip shape, stem and leaves, and toothlessness of the latter.

In this game he is unlocked by completing challenge mode with Wario's team and is a Power type character, the strongest in the game with a batting stat of 9/10, tied with Bowser. He is also the slowest runner, with a running stat of 1/10, tied with Red Pianta, Yellow Pianta, Bowser and most [[Magikoopa]]s. In this game, he has good chemistry with [[Birdo]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[King Boo]], but he has bad chemistry with [[Princess Daisy]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Noki]], and [[Pianta]]. He has the ability to Body Check, saving him in tight pinches. He also has the strongest throwing arm in the game (despite the fact that his pitching is only around average), and he cannot get body checked when on a base. Also notable is when Petey is fielding, he does not try to catch the ball with a glove and instead eats the ball if he catches it.

Sometimes, the second losing animation will include some sidekicks running and tripping (or in [[Monty Mole]]'s case, he attempts to dig) or cowering in fear.

After Bowser joins the Subspace Army in its attempts to conquer "[[World of Trophies|this world]]," Petey and the [[Ancient Minister]] lead an attack on the [[Midair Stadium]], where Mario and Kirby are having a friendly brawl. Before Petey captures the spectating [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] in cages, Mario is blasted away by a [[cannonball]] while he attempts to destroy a [[Subspace Bomb]] that has been dropped by the Ancient Minister, leaving Kirby as his only opponent. Petey attacks by swinging the cages at him, as well as jumping into the air and potentially causing damage from the impact of landing. Kirby has to attack the cages to weaken them, saving one of the princesses (attacking Petey himself deals damage to both cages). Petey Piranha has no other attacks beside body slamming the player and swinging the cages around. However, only one princess can be saved, and the other princess is changed back into a [[Trophy]] by [[Wario]], who then steals it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha suddenly bursts into flames.

Petey's other sticker is his artwork for ''Mario Strikers Charged'', only usable by [[Wario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Pokémon Trainer]] and [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], and applying it to one of them increases the power of their bite attacks by 32. Petey has some unique properties for this game, including how his petals are behind his neck rather than in, his gums are detailed, and he uses realistic monster roars.
-Unusually, Petey's petals are behind his neck in this game; normally, they are in front of it. This game also gives him detailed gums, which are never depicted again. Also, he uses realistic monster roars instead of his cartoonish voice. His trophy in the English version of the game uses gender-neutral pronouns when describing him.
+During the events of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''{{'}}s The Subspace Emissary, after Bowser joins the Subspace Army in its attempts to conquer "[[World of Trophies|this world]]," Petey and the [[Ancient Minister]] lead an attack on the [[Midair Stadium]], where Mario and Kirby are having a friendly brawl. Before Petey captures the spectating [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] in cages, Mario is blasted away by a [[cannonball]] while he attempts to destroy a [[Subspace Bomb]] dropped by the Ancient Minister, leaving Kirby as his only opponent. Petey attacks by swinging the cages at him, as well as jumping into the air and potentially causing damage from the impact of landing. Kirby has to attack the cages to weaken them, saving one of the princesses (attacking Petey himself deals damage to both cages). Petey Piranha has no other attacks beside body slamming the player and swinging the cages around. However, only one princess can be saved, and the other princess is changed back into a trophy by [[Wario]], who then steals it. Once defeated, Petey Piranha suddenly bursts into flames.

-Petey Piranha appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as part of Piranha Plant's [[Petey Piranha (move)|Final Smash]]. His appearance is derived from the Subspace Emissary in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', including the cages he wields, though he has a brighter color scheme more comparable to the mainline ''Mario'' games. He hops along the stage while swinging his cages, and is able to trap opponents inside them. At the end of the Final Smash, he will breathe fire and slam the cages into the ground. He also appears in the form of two primary Grab type [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]], using artwork from ''Mario Super Sluggers'' and ''Mario Strikers Charged''. The former spirit is an enhanced form of the [[Nipper Plant]] spirit and makes the user temporarily giant at the start of a battle.

 Petey Piranha is certainly recognizable as a Piranha Plant, but he differs starkly from a typical one. According to ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', he got his looks from a mutation. Petey is characterized by a remarkably large head and a comparably small body. He has a round, protuberant belly and a large belly button under his shorts, but it is only visible if his stomach is inflated with a great quantity of water. Additionally, he has leaf-like arms and stubby legs, both of which grant him mobility beyond his pipe-dwelling "cousins". He also has green lips, which are similar to the lips of the Piranha Plants in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', in contrast to the white lips of Piranha Plants in most other games. His lips are also covered with darker green lines. He wears red pants with white polka dots, matching the coloration of his head. His most distinguishing feature is a ring of yellow petals with orange rims around his head, resembling a crown or a mane. In his first appearance, these petals have an iridescent quality, becoming a vibrant, fiery orange or a shiny white (with pinkish rims) depending on the angle of the light, but this trait is no longer present beyond ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Petey is also of a much greater size than normal Piranha Plants, easily standing six times Mario's height, though when depicted with a sprite or encountered in sports and spin-offs, he's smaller. ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' is the first game to portray Petey Piranha with a tongue, which was also seen in every game following. While his size varies between games, the official height chart shows Petey being 12'9" tall (3.9 m).
-In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Petey Piranha's appearance changes. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Petey's color scheme is much darker, his gums receive heavy detailing, and his design is more realistic overall while his neck is located in the front of his petals. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Petey's color scheme is more vibrant overall, while his gums are reverted to their original appearance, more closely matching his design in the ''Mario'' series. However, his stem is still in front of his petals, and received some minor detailing.

-Several other giant Piranha Plant bosses appear throughout the ''Mario'' franchise, many of which bear a physical resemblance to Petey Piranha, including the [[Mom Piranha]] and [[Piranha Bean]] from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', the [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and the [[Peewee Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

 ===Personality===
-Petey Piranha is a big, tall, and strong character with intelligence exceeding that of a normal [[Piranha Plant]]. Usually his sentience is portrayed to be on the same level as that of a person. His seemingly unintelligible Piranha Plant noises have been shown to be a real language, as his barks and growls are translated into normal words for the player in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' titles.

 In most of the games he appears in, Petey Piranha has a cheeky, laid-back personality. He's known for taking his losses in stride, such as when he slaps his face in humiliation once he's back on his feet after taking damage in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. He has a sense of humor, too, as shown in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series when he skips daintily to home plate after hitting a home run. He also likes to gloat and show off. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', he goes as far as to limbo in the middle of the field after he scores. Like his smaller contemporaries, Petey is a ravenous eater. Although not so much a glutton, he is able to eat just about anything.
