While his HP is abnormally high compared to most bosses in [[Boss Battles]] | While his HP is abnormally high compared to most bosses in [[Boss Battles]], Petey Piranha is effectively a Cage attack simulator, having no other usable move. While they are wide-reaching and deal respectable damage, they can be easily [[shield]]ed and responded to with attacks. If a character has a projectile, they can easily [[roll]] through a Cage attack towards the edge of the stage and spam it until Petey Piranha goes down, unable to damage the player. Likewise, a counterattack from characters like {{SSBB|Marth}} can be timed to continuously hit Petey Piranha with zero counterplay available. Given a majority of the cast has tools to easily defeat Petey Piranha, he has very few even matchups. | ||

Like all bosses, | Like all bosses, Ridley's moves are inputted using a set of commands with a [[GameCube controller]], chiefly with the [[D-Pad]]. Move names are taken from the Japanese strategy guide for ''Brawl''. Damage varies by [[difficulty]], the following being taken from the game's files. {{SSBB|Samus}}'s [[Grapple Beam]] restores AI control. | ||

Because Petey Piranha is only playable through [[hacking]], he's banned by default in all competitive ''Brawl'' tournaments. While some boss characters have arguments to be legalised, ''Brawl's'' bosses have unique challenges that make them particularly unlikely cases. They do not conform to the usual ruleset, are exclusive to [[Boss Battles]] and thus their specific stage, are subject to Boss Battles's random boss selection without further modifications, and have varying [[difficulty]] levels that would require rulings to decide on them properly. This boils down to a very clunky experience that would likely end up delaying tournaments due to the length of time it takes for them to be set up. Furthermore, {{SSBB|Samus}}'s [[Grapple Beam]] can reset the controls of ''Brawl'' bosses, which could cause further ruling issues. Ergo, Petey Piranha has seen little to no competitive experimentation outside of casual matches. | Because Petey Piranha is only playable through [[hacking]], he's banned by default in all competitive ''Brawl'' tournaments.
