Petey Piranha is one of the first bosses players will encounter in that game he appears in the first mission of Bianco Hills, the first area unlocked. No word on whether that'll make it into Mario Kart 8 yet in the trailer, Petey Piranha rides a generic green motorcycle with Piranha Plant decals.Īlthough his Mario Kart debut was in Double Dash, Petey actually originates from the earlier game Super Mario Sunshine. The dastardly duo could be seen drifting around aboard the Piranha Pipes, a vehicle composed of green tubes. All racers had partners in Double Dash, and Petey Piranha's was King Boo. Players could unlock him after completing the Star Cup, although now it's as simple as buying the DLC.
Petey Piranha premiered in the Mario Kart series with 2003's Mario Kart: Double Dash for the GameCube. Petey Piranha will return to the track in Mario Kart 8's Booster Course Pass Wave 5.
