Questions on Mario: What is Petey Piranha?

Of course, Petey Piranha is a large, walking piranha-plant but is more flower-like. But how did all this happen? Like my Queen Bee article (see last post) I'm going to try to figure this question out, starting with small comments and then gradually increasing to more technical and life-like qualities that makes the game not make much sense.

 

Of course, you could just think of this abomination as a giant mutant plant and go on with your day and think about how non-important this is, right? Well, if you play Mario games, this is actually very important.

 

 

Petey has a weird backstory which I honestly wouldn't think of, as much as I love Mario games. You see, I don't think if you go down into a sewer, you'll find turtles and dragons and mushrooms that make you big. Of course, this is just a game, but my job is to ruin it for you.

 

 

So, my theory is we've polluted the Mushroom Kingdom with our waste and have made Petey the gigantic mess he is today. No wonder he spits brown goo on other plants!

 



Look what we've done to these poor plants!

So, Mario is really just fighting a giant piece of feces. Well, at least in my theory. Let's look deeper into this.

 

 

According to the actual Super Mario Sunshine game (where Petey was introduced) when you defeat Petey, he explodes into the brown goo. However, he still comes back repeatedly in other games. How? According to my theory, there's multiple Peteys that are all made out of the dumps that our humans take.

 

Also, you don't see human waste laying around the Mushroom Kingdom. So where does it all go? It can't just disappear!

 

However, this is just a theory. Feel free to do more research on this and tell me in the comments! I could do an update post on this topic! Also, don't forget to read the Queen Bee post for more Questions on Mario!
