'''Blurps''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are green colored, goggle-wearing fish that sometimes appear in underwater levels alongside [[Cheep Cheep]]s, of which they seem to be relatives, judging by their similar names in Japanese.

Blurps are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its remake]]. They act as a behavioral variant for [[Cheep Cheep]]s, which in this game have only one coloration. Blurps swim endlessly in one direction, injuring [[Mario]] if one collides with him. They typically bob up and down a small bit as they swim. 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|Caped 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. In the remake, they can be held in [[Yoshi]]'s mouth and spat out if [[Luigi]] rides him, which in their case can be used to defeat [[Urchin]]s.

Blurps, simply referred to as '''Cheep Cheeps''', reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', they act as the green Cheep Cheeps in the ''Super Mario World'' style, being the most basic of the two colors, swimming forward through the water or hopping along the surface, both endlessly in one direction. The behavior of all swimming Cheep Cheeps in this game is reminiscent of Blurps in ''Super Mario World'' due to gently bobbing as they swim, though they animate slower than Blurps did in that game.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

These Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they retain their behavior in its predecessor; they are still simply referred to as Cheep Cheeps, including in the description for the official course [[River Fish in the Forest]].

What appears to be a Blurp appears in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" where [[Luigi]] is attacked by one, but defeats it with a single stomp. The appearance of the Blurp is closer to that of a [[Trouter]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Like its game appearance, the Blurp is green in color, has orange fins, and red lips, but the goggles are replaced with large white rings around yellow eyes, it lacks the white on its belly, and it has four sharp teeth.

Blurps cameo in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' as a background element of [[Pukupuku Kai]], the sixth stage.

Blurps are enemies 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. In this game, they have pectoral fins, but are colored white.

==Notes==

*In ''[[Mario Mania]]'', the names for Blurp and Cheep Cheep are swapped,<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Mania]]''|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=51}}</ref> which may relate to how [[Big Cheep Cheep|large Cheep Cheeps]] were misidentified as "Blurps" in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', as well as throughout ''[[Nintendo Power Advance]]'' V.4's coverage of ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''.

*This iteration of the Cheep Cheep found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', 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. ''Super Mario 64'' also introduces another eyewear-wearing fish called [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]] with a similar Japanese name to Blurp, ''Bakubaku''. In fact, Bubba's name in source assets is simply "<tt>buku</tt>," indicating that at some point in development it may have been simply intended as Blurp.
