== History ==
=== Mighty Mission: Alien Invasion ===
Professor Theet makes his debut in the level Mighty Mission: Alien Invasion, where two flying creatures who seem to be allied with the Sour Bunch harass him and set his surroundings on fire. After Princess Peach enters her Mighty form and defeats his harrassers, Professor Theet uses his holo-screens to activate an elevator that leads down to a base. He believes that she can help the Theets and the city, so he leads her down.
He later appears just before the boss battle against a giant UFO, where he heads back up to the transformed princess to inform her that the UFO in question has abducted a sphere bunker that Theets were hiding in. He launches the princess into the sky, where she puts up her dukes against the spaceship and rescues the abducted Theets.
=== Mighty Mission: The Rescue ===
Professor Theet later appears in the level Mighty Mission: The Rescue, where he leads a squad of assistant Theets in spacecrafts heading towards a planet ahead to rescue the scientists of his squadron. Princess Peach has to protect his spacecraft as they head to the planet. Upon arrival, Professor Theet sends three Theets to the ground so Peach can get backup.
Professor Theet and three other Theets from his squadron return when Peach reaches the captured scientists, and he helps set up for when she becomes gigantic. Afterwards, his full squadron flies immediately behind Peach as she and the UFO square off again.
=== The Dark Space & The Giant Meteor ===
Professor Theet appears on his own during the level The Dark Space & The Great Meteor, where he and Peach head deeper into the cosmic hellscape where the Mighty Sparkla has been imprisoned. After a while, Professor Theet decides to speed ahead as the distress signal weakens, only to be intercepted by a giant squid that Peach defeats. After he is rescued, Professor Theet claims how embarrassing it was that he was abducted while attempting to rescue someone else. The duo later approach the sphere where the Mighty Sparkla is held captive, and Professor Theet attempts to hack the dashboard connected to the cage. During this time, he has to be protected again; if Professor Theet takes five hits, he dies, resulting in a mission failure. Upon being broken free, the Mighty Sparkla sets up an upwards launch tube, and Professor Theet is left behind. Professor Theet presumably made his way back home.
