'''Cheep-Cheeps''' (Japanese プクプク ''Pukupuku'') are fish that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the [[Mario series|''Mario'' series]]. They are found mostly in the water but they can jump out of the water as well like in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. There are many different species of Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps come in different colors, such as gray and green.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
[[Image:CheepCheepSMB.jpg|left|thumb|A '''Cheep-Cheep''' from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Cheep-Cheeps are found in the underwater levels, swimming towards the player, where they can only be defeated with a [[fireball]]. They are found in all of the water levels. And they can usually be seen with [[Blooper|Bloopers]].  In some levels Cheep-Cheeps jump off from the bottom of the screen creating random obstacles. These can be killed in a single jump but it is hard to do it as they jump very high making them very annoying.

There are two kinds of Cheep-Cheeps in this game. One of them is colored red and moves moderately quickly. The other is colored gray (green in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'') and moves more slowly.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Cheep-Cheep act the same, although they can also jump out of water and lava. They are mainly seen in World 3. Also, around this time, Cheep-Cheep's tail fin color change from white to yellow, and the slow-moving Cheep-Cheeps were colored green. The game was also to include yellow Cheep-Cheeps, which were to move even faster than red Cheep-Cheeps, but they were taken out due to unknown reasons.

====''Super Mario World''====
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', they posed a numerous threat as the white, slow-moving fish found underwater and in floating bubbles, although they were only found in bubbles when they appeared on land. Those can be killed easily by simply touching them which makes them easy [[Points]]. They can be killed with a flick of the [[Cape]], a lick from [[Yoshi]], and smothering them in [[Fireballs]]. For some reason, like the [[Ninji]]s, they weren't included in the credits.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Cheep-Cheeps are found in [[Ricco Harbor]] and [[Noki Bay]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. While they mostly just flail, they cause [[Mario]] to spin when they touch him. They can be defeated with [[F.L.U.D.D]], but will reappear almost instantly. [[Yoshi]] can turn them into platforms by spraying them with certain fruit juice.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Cheep-Cheeps behave the same way as in other platformers, and have a larger version. ([[Mega Cheep-Cheep]]). However, two subspecies were introduced: The [[Deep-Cheep]] and the [[Cheep-Chomp]]. Deep-Cheeps and Cheep-Chomps chase Mario when they appear on-screen. Deep-Cheeps can't turn around, but Cheep-Chomps can . In Level 2-4, a strange Cheep-Cheep appears in a bonus area. It swims in a wavy line and trails six coins behind it.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Cheep-Cheeps reappeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' acting the same way as before in old games. They were killed by a [[Green Shell]] or a red or a [[Gold Shell]] or by [[Star Spin|Star Spinning them]]. They are also seen in the video at the end of the game jumping out of the water near [[Peach's Castle]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Cheep-Cheeps are also found in many ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' courses. These include [[Peach Beach]] (''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''), and Cheep-Cheep Beach (''[[Mario Kart DS]]'') .In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', they are refered to as '''Flopping Cheep-Cheeps'''. In the [[Mario Kart DS#Mission Mode|mission]] 1-4 in ''Mario Kart DS'', the player's task is to defeat five Cheep-Cheeps. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a kart called the [[Cheep Charger]]. It resembles a Cheep-Cheep with a seat, steering wheel, and wheels. In [[Koopa Cape]], in underwater tunnel Cheep-Cheeps are swiming around in the water.

===''Super Mario Land'' series===
====''Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins''====
''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]'' again featured Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps impeded [[Mario]]'s progress through the [[Macro Zone|Macro]] and [[Turtle Zone]]s by swimming back and forth in the water, like a [[Goomba]]. Among the other fish, they were accompanied by similar-looking [[Blurp]]s. They could be destroyed by a tossed [[Green Shell]] or a fireball.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
{{Main|Goby}}

Cheep-Cheeps appeared in this game as weak underwater enemies. However, in the English version, they were renamed as [[Goby]].

}}
In the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series, Cheep-Cheeps are considerably more intelligent than their predecessors, and are able to speak, as well as, strangely enough, safely live and travel about on land. As indicated in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', many even have jobs, such as blimp conductor and chef. The most significant of these land-dwelling fish is [[Sushie]], a female Cheep-Cheep who was among [[Mario]]'s many partners in ''Paper Mario''. Cheep-Cheeps also appear as enemies in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', though they were allies in the first two games.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Cheep-Cheeps appeared as enemies at the [[Oho Ocean]]. They had the same coloration of Goby, from [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]. If the [[player]] jump on them, they turn at Puffer-Cheeps, Cheep-Cheeps full of spines.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 7''====
In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Cheep-Cheeps appear in many Mimi-Games, including [[Fish & Cheeps]], [[Bridge Work]], and [[Be My Chum]]. There is also a Cheep-Cheep in the [[Grand Canal]] that will squirt the player back to the start who lands on the ? space in front of what looks like the leaning tower of Pisa.

====''Mario Party DS''====
There is a [[mini-game]] called [[Cheep Chump]], where the player must prevent their character getting sucked up by a Cheep-Cheep.

====''Mario Party 8''====
They make two cameo appearences in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. One is in the [[Minigame]] [[Rowed to Victory]]. They appear in the backround watching the players row their muscles out. After that they assist a [[Mega Cheep-Cheep]] in chasing the losers. Also they appear as one of the Pictures in [[Picture Perfect]].

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
They also appear in [[Mario Super Sluggers]] at [[Daisy Cruiser]] and jump on the deck at night. [[Gooper Blooper]] appears with the Cheep-Cheeps.

== Language ==
According to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', Cheep-Cheeps have their own language, which is also called "Cheep-Cheep". This language is presumably spoken natively by Cheep-Cheeps, and it is only partly heard through the character [[Chef Shimi]] (who often mixes words, such as "saved" and "shaved", up due to his unique language knowledge). However, in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the letter Sashimie wrote to [[Sushie]] is written in Mario's language.

==Gender==
In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' instruction booklet, Cheep-Cheeps are explicitly referred to as female. This makes her the first generic [[Mario (series)|Mario]] enemy to be female. However, this has changed since the ''Paper Mario'' series, in which both male and female members of the Cheep-Cheep species have appeared.
