'''Big Deep Cheeps''',<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|date=2012|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89552-3|page=24}}</ref> originally '''Mega Deep-Cheeps''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|date=May 15, 2006|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3|page=12}}</ref> are large [[Deep Cheep]]s that appear in all of the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games except ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. In every one of these games, they are merely bigger than their parent species, but act the same nevertheless: a Big Deep Cheep swims straightly forward, until [[Mario]] and his friends approach its vertical axis. If so happens, the it tries to rapidly swim towards the heroes in an attempt to hurt them. However, if the they manage to swim over the Big Deep Cheep, it stops its pursuit and continue its aimless underwater rambling. Mega Deep-Cheeps in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' had their size reduced so they appear to be just slightly bigger than common Deep-Cheeps, though this was reverted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', the player can enlarge a regular Deep Cheep by placing a [[Super Mushroom]] onto it in the Edit area. It thus becomes a Big Deep Cheep with the size of those from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, Big Deep Cheeps have lost their Mario-chasing instinct, and instead follow the same strict movement pattern of green [[Cheep Cheep]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and [[Blurp]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', as they swim straight without turning back. [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s, on the other hand, turn around after they have traversed a certain distance.

Big Deep Cheeps can be defeated with the power conferred by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star]] in every appearance. In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' only, players can freeze Big Deep Cheeps with the ice balls given by the [[Ice Flower]] or the [[Penguin Suit]]. Likewise, only in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', players can acquire [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] forms and down Big Deep Cheeps with tail swings.
