'''Blurps''' are green colored, goggle-wearing fish that sometimes appear in underwater levels alongside [[Cheep Cheep]]s, of which they seem to be relatives of due to their similar name in Japanese.

Blurps first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Blurps, like [[Cheep Cheep]]s, will often simply swim aimlessly in one direction, injuring [[Mario]] if it collides with him. As Blurps are fairly weak, they can simply be defeated by shooting a [[fireball]] at them as [[Fire Mario]] or by bashing them with a cape as [[Cape Mario]]. Blurps lack pectoral fins on their sprites in this game, but have them on their artwork. They sweat while they swim, implying that swimming as fast as they do puts some amount of strain on them. They reappear in the game's [[reissue]], ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', where now they can be used to defeat [[Urchin]]s if playing as [[Luigi]].

Blurps make a reappearance as underwater enemies in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Much like their ''Super Mario World'' counterparts, Blurps aimlessly swim in one direction and can be defeated by a fireball. In this game, they occasionally pause in their swimming. Blurps are found primarily in the [[Turtle Zone]], and also appear in [[Pumpkin Zone]] alongside statues of them and Cheep Cheeps. They again lack pectoral fins in-game, but still have them on the artwork. Additionally, their artwork depicts them as light blue with pink goggles and white lips instead of green with orange goggles and golden lips.

 

Blurps themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. However, the iteration of Cheep Cheep found in this game, known in English as "Bub," appears to be primarily visually based off Blurp, but orange instead of green. This design is additionally used in the first three ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games.

Blurps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', replacing green Cheep Cheeps in the ''Super Mario World'' style. However, the voice heard when placing elements onto the course will still call them Cheep Cheeps. Like the other green Cheep Cheeps in the game, they swim back-and-forth a short distance while underwater, and simply hop along the bottom of the screen otherwise.

A single Blurp appears in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" where [[Luigi]] is attacked by one but he swims and stomps on it. The appearance of the Blurp is different, looking more like the depiction of [[Trouter]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Like its game appearance, the Blurp is green in color and has red fins, but the goggles are replaced with large white rings around the eyes, and it has four sharp teeth.

Blurps cameo in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' as a background element of [[Pukupuku Kai]], the sixth stage. As such, they have no interaction with any of the player characters.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a Blurp can be seen in the scenery for [[Deep Blooper Sea]], alongside some similar-designed Cheep Cheeps.

A sand-dwelling variety of Blurp known as the [[????|Sand Cheep]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. It appears to be a normal Blurp with a fake shark fin strapped to its back. It later appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' where it is thrown by [[Shrooba Diver]]s.

Like various enemies of ''Super Mario World'', Blurps also return in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Some of them are affected by the [[rage]] vibe of the [[Vibe Scepter]] and are called [[Mad Blurp]]s. They will pursue [[Princess Peach|Peach]] if she is in front of them. They are mainly encountered in groups.
