Two versions of Petey Piranha appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', both of whom were fought at the Sunbeam Plains at different points in the game. One was the 'normal' Petey Piranha, while the other was Paper Petey Piranha, based on his ''Paper Mario'' design, as the game's plot involved Paper versions of various characters being accidentally released from their storybook. The original Petey Piranha appeared as the game's first boss and was released by the [[Bowser]]s to act as a distraction while they escaped with the princesses. His attacks and weakness were similar to past battles, in addition to being weak against fire. Later on, Paper Petey Piranha was battled in the same area while Mario's group were on their way to the Gloomy Woods. He was chasing a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] when he came across Mario's group and battled them instead. He stole Paper Mario's Copy Block and used it to make copies of himself, but he was still defeated. | Two versions of Petey Piranha appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', both of whom were fought at the Sunbeam Plains at different points in the game.

− | In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', he appeared as Petea Piranha and a mini-boss faced at Plum Park. He was similar to his other appearances, aside from having a teabag attached to his head.

He emerged from the teapot when Mario and [[Huey]] tried to squeeze it, and he battled them, ultimately being defeated.
