The Piranha Prowler is an unlockable Large Kart in Mario Kart Wii. It's one of three unlockable karts in the Large class along with the Jetsetter and the Honeycoupe, and is the easiest of the three to unlock. It has a face based on Petey Piranha on the front of it and is the heaviest vehicle in the game. Unlike most vehicles in the game, this one doesn't have a bike-counterpart.

Description[]

The Piranha Prowler features a wide and round body with many large spots around it. The front has a face that looks like Petey Piranha's, with a large green mouth and his petals as the windshield. It has thin and large wheels. It has a green tail behind the seat, and large green legs which hold the rear wheels, with two exhaust pipes in between them. The character's emblem is located on the middle spot on the sides and the front of the kart.

When used with Funky Kong, it will use Petey Piranha's true color scheme.
