Author Topic: SSBB: Petey Piranha officially announced (Read 16439 times)

As many on the forums guessed and/or feared, Petey Piranha, originally appearing in Super Mario Sunshine, is the first boss character announced for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the earlier Subspace Emissary (Adventure Mode) video, Petey had locked up both Peach and Zelda in cages and Kirby was ready to face off against the newly-fearsome monster. The update says that you can only save one of the women...

Link: Smash Bros. DOJO!!

...and the other probably gets carried off to the next boss. Or else it's just how you unlock them and you have to play that mode twice to get them both.

The real question is, will bosses be unlockable as "secret" characters or will it just be a Action Replay hack-character like Giga Bowser?

I have a feeling they won't be playable unless you hack the game. It's tradtion by now, except now we get more than just Smash originals as bosses.

Peach or Zelda? Peach or Zelda? Choices....

Peach! *Zelda gets devoured*

Another boss that's non-playable, like Giga Bowser and Master and Crazy hands in SSBM.

I imagine you will have to play through twice to unlock them, as LD said.

Or maybe the un-rescued one might suffer some torturous consequences from Ancient Minister or some other boss (Giga Bowser, anyone?).

This is awesome! I don't know why anyone would "fear" the idea of Petey being in the game.

Mario: Ummmm.... Zelda!

Peach: How could you!?

Mario: Maybe this one will stay rescued!

Link: HA!

This is super awesome.

The first thing I said this morning when I checked the update was

"Petey is wearing polka dot undies!"

And sorry Zellie, but I'm savin' Peachy. XD

Oh mannnnnnn... This means, I can't feed Daisy to Petey?
Sorry LD--check Petey's emblem. Odd they wouldn't brand him with the Mushroom even if he IS only a boss. And... what can AR NOT do?

But they're available from the beginning. They weren't branded with the Challenger tag.

Thankfully Petey isn't playable, and I hope if we can play through Adventure Mode with either princess, because it'd be a shame if that mode is limited to only certain characters. Maybe it'll be similar to Sonic Adventure 2 where using different characters gets you different POVs and stages.

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2007, 07:51:51 PM »

I'm going to make two guesses right here, guys. My first guess is that whichever character you choose to save will then become playable in an Adventure Mode. Then, you use either that character or another unlocked one to go through the Adventure Mode and save the other princess from Petey.

Or...

Petey devours the princess you don't save, and then you team up with a computer-controlled Peach/Zelda and Kirby/Mario to weaken Petey enough to make him burp her up. Then you'll probably either earn those two as playable characters or have to face them on their home stage at the same time (or separately) to unlock them.

I'd also like to say that I am unaffected by the appearance of Petey Piranha, but am slightly unnerved by the appearance of Pokémon Trainer as a character and rather angry that Diddy Kong, out of all other possible characters in the game, is going to be playable.

The Chef · « **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2007, 07:57:56 AM »

May I ask who deserves a spot more than Diddy Kong?

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2007, 08:19:06 AM »

I just think Diddy Kong seems a little monotonous. Sure, everybody loves the little guy, but I just think there are other video game characters out there that deserve a spot more. A few examples include Sonic, Paper Mario (yes, he could be a little monotonous of Mario), and Mega Man. Even a Metroid Prime hunter could be in Brawl. I guess I just don't really have an interest in the Donkey Kong series, and think that there are better possible fighters out there than Diddy Kong. He just doesn't feel like a good fighter to me is all.
