PETEY PIRANHA
Source series: Mario
First appearance: Super Mario Sunshine (2002) [First Smash appearance: Brawl (2008)]
STATS:
Weight class - Tank
Falling class - Very fast
Running speed - Variable
Jump height - Very high
Character class - Bruiser
MOVESET:
--Cage Smash
--Stomp
--Roar
HOME COURSE: Midair Stadium
TAUNT: Roar
SPECIAL TRAITS/TRIVIA:
--Has HP instead of damage %.
--In SSE, Petey's body is resistant to every attack type except fire. The cages he holds, however, have no resistances at all.
--Technically has 2 health bars, but they represent each cage he's holding, & he is defeated as soon as either bar is drained.
--If the player solely attacks Petey's head throughout the first fight with him, draining both health bars simultaneously, the game randomly decides which princess is rescued.
--The cages are empty in the Great Maze & in Boss Battles mode.
--There are unused animations for Petey in Smash 4 WiiU, but absolutely nothing for those animations to correspond to.
--Even though a Subspace Bomb is technically active during the first Petey fight, it has no time limit.
Yeah, only 2 attacks & a status buff. And human players can't even use 1 of the attacks.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
