'''Cheep Cheeps''' (sometimes formatted as '''Cheep-Cheeps''' or '''Cheep-cheeps''') are {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}}-like creatures<ref>{{cite|title=''Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten''|date=November 20, 1994|publisher=Shogakukan|language=Japanese|page=[https://i.imgur.com/EVcDzB9.jpeg 190]|isbn=4-09-259067-9}}</ref> that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise. They are found mostly in [[water]], but often jump out of it as well. There are many different species of Cheep Cheeps, and they come in different colors, including orange, yellow, green, light-blue, blue, indigo, purple, magenta, black, gray, and brown. The most common ones, however, are red with a white patch on their stomach, a yellow (originally white in some artwork) tail fin, a mohawk-like dorsal fin and wing-like fins. They also have blue eyes and pink lips. Cheep Cheeps may attack above the surface of the water by jumping out in an arc. Given this, Cheep Cheeps seem to be inspired by {{iw|wikipedia|flying fish}}, hence their wing-like fins, which behave similarly. Many Cheep Cheeps appear to be among [[Bowser's Minions]], though some, such as the ones seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', are not. In many games, Cheep Cheeps possess a variety of attacks, typically involving jumping behavior.

Cheep-cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. They are encountered in every underwater [[level]], first appearing in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'', and swim towards the player character in either a straight line or a wavy pattern. There are red Cheep-cheeps that move moderately fast and gray Cheep-cheeps, which move slower. A single green one is located off-screen in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/Eden_GT_/status/1326442788817268738|publisher=X|title=New bug demonstration:<br>In 2-3, there's a hidden Green Cheep Cheep enemy located at the very top/bottom wrap of the screen that is too difficult to access naturally by manipulating Cheep Cheep patterns to get above the status bar, so at the moment cheats are used here to show it.|author=Eden_GT_|date=November 11, 2020|accessdate=March 27, 2021|language=en}}</ref> The gray ones are recolored green in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a holdover from the "orange and gray" palette used underwater in the original occupying the same hardware space as the "orange and green" palette used for overworld graphics, as demonstrated by [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. A Cheep-cheep can be defeated from either a [[fireball]] or if Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. The red Cheep-cheeps of World 2-3 and [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-3]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' leap from the bottom of the screen,<ref>{{cite|url=legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/manuals/#characters-enemies|publisher=Legends of Localization|title=Super Mario Bros.

Since no more than three enemies can appear onscreen once due to hardware limitations,{{ref needed}} only three Cheep Cheeps are ever allowed onscreen at a time.

A few green Cheep-cheeps take on the identity of a [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]], including the one at the end of [[World B-4]] in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and the fake Bowser at the end of [[World 1-4 (VS Game)|World 1-4]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe#You VS. Boo|You VS. Boo]] mode of ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''.

|image1=CheepCheepSMA4.png

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are featured in red and green variants; between them, only the latter appears in any underwater-themed levels, though they are more common in shallow pools elsewhere. The green type appears cyan in [[fortress]]es in the original version. Red Cheep-Cheeps usually swim before leaping from the water in order to hit Mario, though some bounce along the surface constantly and make a large leap once they approach Mario. Other Cheep-Cheeps jump between small portions of water, and cannot be seen underwater. Some Cheep-Cheeps leap from the bottom of the screen at random, like in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though sometimes over [[lava]]. Golden-yellow Cheep-Cheeps capable of moving faster than even green Cheep-Cheeps and appearing in trios moving in a wavy pattern were planned to appear but went unused.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Bros._3#Tan_Cheep-Cheep|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3''|language=en|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> Besides Cheep-cheeps, several variants were introduced, including [[Baby Cheep]]s; their parent, Big Bertha; [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]], and [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s (referred to as "Cheep-cheeps" in localized manuals).<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3''|date=1990|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAACE.pdf|format=PDF|page=36}}</ref> Though both are red, Big Bertha and Boss Bass behave as enlarged versions of the green and red Cheep Cheeps, respectively.

Besides the unused golden yellow Cheep-Cheeps, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was also going to feature the beached Cheep Cheeps of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in its extra levels,<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3/Unused Objects#Land Cheep-Cheep|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3/Unused Objects § Land Cheep-Cheep]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=May 2, 2016}}</ref> but they were removed. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', they hurt Mario if he runs into them.

[[File:Cheep-CheepL.gif|frame]]

[[File:Cheep-CheepOutOfWaterL.gif|frame]]

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They are slow-moving fish that swimming back and forth underwater, though some levels of the [[Forest of Illusion]] show them in floating [[bubble]]s over land. Cheep Cheeps that flip around on land can be defeated instantly if touched. Cheep Cheeps can also be defeated with a [[Cape]], [[Yoshi]], or [[fireball]]s. Certain levels have underwater Cheep Cheeps that can leap up vertically every so often, such as in [[Awesome]], where they leap from the bottom of the screen endlessly, though {{file link|Special World.jpg|the relevant artwork}} depicts the related [[Blurp]] instead. Cheep Cheeps are depicted in one color only, using the game's yellow palette, with the behavior of swimming forward endlessly being given to Blurps instead. Cheep Cheeps that are underwater are depicted with anal fins, but not on land. Unlike most enemies, Cheep Cheeps do not appear in the ending's cast roll.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====

[[File:SML2CheepCheep.png|frame|left]]

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They are depicted after their appearance in ''Super Mario World''. Cheep-Cheeps encountered in the [[Macro Zone]] and [[Turtle Zone]]. Cheep-Cheeps can swim either horizontally or vertically. Cheep-Cheeps can be defeated from either a [[Koopa Shell|shell]], a fireball, or if touched by [[Invincible Mario]]. Blurps also appear, and the game introduces a pufferfish version of [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s.

'''Bubs'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|date=1996|page=12|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|location={{wp|Redmond, WA|Redmond}}}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are only encountered in [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. Bubs are colored orange, have visible scales, red fins and tail, and wear large goggles, making them resemble [[Blurp]]s more closely than Cheep Cheeps. Bubs typically swim around through the water aimlessly and can sometimes approach the player character. A Bub takes away [[Health Meter|health]] from the player character on contact. They cannot be defeated. The Player's Guide describes a Bub as "one cool {{wp|koi}}." In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Bubs are designed after Cheep Cheeps as depicted in artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.'', a design retained in most games, and one of their behavioral differences is no longer swimming higher or lower from their starting position.

 

[[File:Cheep Cheep Sunshine Art.png|100px|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', depicting a scarlet Cheep-Cheep]]

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. There is a scarlet variety encountered in [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Noki Bay]], and sometimes during the [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] fight in [[Sirena Beach]]; a [[Lava Cheep Cheep|fiery, dark-purple variant]] inhabiting the [[lava]] of [[Corona Mountain]]; and '''Tobi Fish''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|date=August 12, 2002|page=60|isbn=1-931886-09-1|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Toki Fish''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=September 3, 2002|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|language=en-us|publisher=Prima Games|page=81}}</ref>) a magenta variety encountered in [[Gelato Beach]], Noki Bay and [[Delfino Airstrip]]. The BradyGames guide refers to both the scarlet and magenta varieties as Tobi Fish.<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|publisher=BradyGames|language=en-us|page=5}}</ref> The scarlet and charred varieties leap at varying heights, and are defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed or sprayed with water from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. Cheep-Cheeps temporarily become platorms if sprayed with juice from [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Two Cheep-Cheeps are sometimes spit out by King Boo during his battle if the slot machine lands on three question marks, though the Cheep-Cheeps flop about upside down. The magenta variety is invulnerable and pursues Mario actively, dragging him down into the water if he is caught in their mouth; they have wider lips like in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', blue fins on their tails and back, blue spots on their undersides, and a slightly flatter body shape.

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Cheep-Cheeps have light pink lips in their artwork, though it is colored deep orange in-game. Cheep-Cheeps behave identically as before. One Cheep-Cheep in a bonus area of [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]] has a different behavior of swimming in a wavy line as six [[coin]]s trail behind it. Besides a [[Big Cheep Cheep|larger version]], two varieties were introduced, [[Deep Cheep|Deep-Cheeps]] (also having a [[Big Deep Cheep|larger version]]) and [[Spike Bass]], both chasing the player character upon noticing him.

[[File:SMG Cheep Cheep.png|thumb|left|100px|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are encountered in [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. In the second mission, they appear on a small planet, half of which is covered in a thin layer of water, and bounce up and down around the planet while flipping. They can be defeated either with a [[spin]] or by [[jump]]ing on them. One appears underwater in the third mission, which can only be beaten with a spin or [[Koopa Shell]]. In the epilogue, Cheep Cheeps jump out of the water near [[Peach's Castle]].

{{br}}

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is now possible for Cheep Cheeps to collide with one another, leading to situations where two may become stuck swimming against one another. Multiple Cheep Cheeps swimming in a certain direction can push individual Cheep Cheeps backward if they swim a certain direction. Besides the red type, there are also [[Deep Cheep]]s, the newly introduced [[Eep Cheep]]s, and [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are encountered in [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]], [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], and other water-themed galaxies, being a lot more common than in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. A few swim in vertical loops in a side-scrolling portion of [[Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet]] as well. Cheep Cheeps now appear swimming near the surface and can be defeated by a spin, jump, or by [[Yoshi]]'s tongue. They do not hop on land like before. Cheep Cheeps cannot be stunned with a [[Star Bit]].

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are first encountered om [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], and appear in underwater areas of other levels such as [[World 3-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|Worlds 3-2]] and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-1]]. Cheep Cheeps can also jump out of water. A difference is that bouncing on a Cheep Cheep underwater bounces the player character up slightly without harming them. Cheep Cheeps can be flattened from a [[Ground Pound]] while underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be defeated by [[fireball]]s, tail whips, boomerang hits, and turning into [[Statue Mario]] above them.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They jump out of water trying to harm Mario or Luigi. Cheep Cheeps become [[Gold Cheep Cheep|golden]] while a [[Gold Ring]] is active, during which they are followed by a row of five [[coin]]s. Some Cheep Cheeps swim in a circle similarly to [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]]. Several Cheep Cheeps appear in the boss fight against [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], when she whistles them to attack.

 

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

[[File:Above the Cheep Cheep Seas NSMBU.png|thumb|Jumping Cheep Cheeps in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They behave identically as before. Besides the returning Cheep Cheeps and Eep Cheeps, the game introduces the [[Mecha Cheep]] variety, which use propellers on their fins to move forward in underwater airship levels.

 

[[File:CheepCheepSM3DW.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Cheep Cheeps in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]

 

Cheep Cheeps are course parts in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be placed above or underwater. Cheep Cheeps function the same as before, except they do not flip around in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, Cheep Cheeps start out as their green variant (replacing the gray Cheep Cheeps from the original ''Super Mario Bros.'') and travel in a straight line endlessly, swimming while gently bobbing while underwater or hopping along the bottom of the screen in ground-based stages. They can be shaken to be turned into their red variant, which goes back and forth in a bobbing line if they are underwater or chases Mario if they are above water. Cheep Cheeps can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and given wings, the latter causing them to fly in the air after jumping out of the water or swim in a wavy pattern when underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be placed in [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and [[Block]]s. If placed in [[lava]] in the castle theme, Cheep Cheeps become engulfed in flames. Green Cheep Cheeps come out from pipes endlessly, though red ones emerge only three times until one is defeated. Collecting the [[Big Mushroom]] after scanning the 30th Anniversary Mario [[amiibo]] gives the Cheep Cheeps a mustache and ring-shaped lips similar to their modern design.

 

In the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, the green Cheep Cheeps appear as [[Blurp]]s and [[Deep Cheep]]s, respectively. Despite this, they are both named as Cheep Cheeps in the game, and use the basic Cheep Cheep behaviors rather than the latter's typical chasing.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====

[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char10.png|thumb|left|Mario, after capturing a Cheep Cheep]]

Cheep Cheeps (parsed as "'''CheepCheeps'''" on the promotional world map) appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are encountered in the [[Lake Kingdom]] and the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. Cheep Cheeps behave identically as in previous 3D entries of the ''Super Mario'' series, swimming back and forth in a predictable pattern. A difference from before is that Cheep Cheeps can be [[capture]]d by [[Mario]], allowing him to swim quicker and breathe underwater. A captured Cheep Cheep can perform a spin attack if the player shakes either the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] or [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]]. Captured Cheep Cheeps produce a beam of light in the direction they are facing, like the shells in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. The volleyball in the [[Beach Volleyball (Super Mario Odyssey)|Beach Volleyball]] minigame in the [[Seaside Kingdom]] is designed after a Cheep Cheep. Mario can obtain the Lake Kingdom [[Power Moon]] [[List of Power Moons in the Lake Kingdom#I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep!|I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep!]] by capturing a Cheep Cheep and bringing it to a [[Lochlady]].

===''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land''===

As Luigi and Toad are exploring Water Land in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Cheep Cheeps jump from the water to try to attack them, but most are avoided; some of the fish also appear three weeks later among the crowds at the International Mushroom Games. This book also describes Cheep Cheeps as having crab-like claws when one pinches [[Toad]]. In ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] will sic some Cheep Cheeps on the Mario Bros. if they attempt to attack him directly during one portion of the book, and some will attack Mario along with some other monsters if he pulls the wrong knob on Ludwig's giant pipe organ.

If Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the [[Mushroom King]] are run down by a group of [[Dino Rhino]]s in ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', they will lose their tickets to the International Dino-Flying Derby, which will end up being blown into a tree inhabited by Cheep Cheeps by a gust of wind. If Mario is chosen to get the tickets back, he will succeed, stomping the irritated Cheep Cheep he takes them from. If Luigi tries to get the tickets instead, a Cheep Cheep will bite him and cause him to fall out of the tree and into a patch of [[Muncher]]s, causing a [[Game Over]].

[[File:YoshiNES-CheepCheep.png|frame|left]]

[[File:YoshiGB-CheepCheep.png|frame]]

Cheep Cheeps are falling objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. They use their sprite from ''Super Mario World''. Cheep Cheeps appear in the A-type mode once 60-69 eggs have been hatched in the [[Family Computer]]/[[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version, or 70 or more in the [[Game Boy]] version. If a Cheep Cheep appears in Yoshi's place in a bonus game if the playewr does not make Yoshi appear.

'''Flopping Cheep Cheeps'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=28}}</ref> are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They are encountered in [[Koopa Beach 1]] and [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2|Koopa Beach 2]]. Flopping Cheep Cheeps spin out the player on contact. They resemble their flopping sprite and coloration from ''Super Mario World''. A balloon-like [[Big Cheep Cheep|giant Cheep Cheep]] holds the trophy during the award ceremony.

A Cheep-Cheep appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' with the same role in the awards ceremony as the giant one in ''Super Mario Kart''. Another giant Cheep-Cheep is seen in [[N64 Banshee Boardwalk|Banshee Boardwalk]].

Cheep-Cheeps are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. They take on their design from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Cheep-Cheeps do not appear in the returning courses Koopa Beach 1 and Koopa Beach 2, but one does leap over the winner stands during the awards ceremony, similarly as in previous entries of the ''Mario Kart'' series.

 

A Cheep Cheep makes a background appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is depicted with its design from ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. The [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] may pull either a Cheep Cheep or a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]] up instead of a stoplight.

 

[[File:MarioBeach.png|thumb|[[Mario Beach]]'s course select icon in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'']]

Cheep Cheeps<ref><tt>MRA_puku.dat</tt>, internal file name</ref> are background characters in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. They resemble their design from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Cheep Cheeps can be seen leaping over a specific corner of the track at [[Mario Beach]], not accessible from [[Mario Highway]], but they cannot hit racers.

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. They are encountered in their namesake course, [[DS Cheep Cheep Beach|Cheep Cheep Beach]], and the returning {{classic-link|SNES|Koopa Beach 2}}. The giant Cheep Cheep in the returning {{classic-link|N64|Banshee Boardwalk}} is replaced with a [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]].

Cheep Cheeps are referenced in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The [[Cheep Charger]] is a light-weight [[kart]] resembling Cheep Cheeps, and there are [[blimp]]s of them in [[Luigi Circuit]]. In [[Wii Koopa Cape|Koopa Cape]] and [[Chain Chomp Wheel]], [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s appear behind glass walls and floors in the background

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They are encountered in [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] and [[GCN Daisy Cruiser|Daisy Cruiser]], where they can push players but generally swim above them. Cheep Cheeps can be seen in the returning {{classic|Wii|Koopa Cape}}.

Cheep Cheeps are background characters in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. They appear in a few places in [[Tropical Coast]], where they leap close to the starting line and flop on the sidelines occasionally. A few Cheep Cheeps also swim from later parts of the underwater tunnel.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are encountered in the returning {{classic-link|DS|Cheep Cheep Beach}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}. The ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' adds Cheep Cheeps in {{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}} and [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. There are two golden Cheep Cheep statues above the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] in [[Dragon Driftway]].

====''Mario Kart Tour''====

[[File:MKT 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon Website Scene.png|thumb|250px|A Cheep Cheep in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They are encountered in [[Amsterdam Drift|Amsterdam Drift 2R/T]], [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2]], [[GBA Cheep-Cheep Island]], [[Wii Koopa Cape]], [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], and [[RMX Donut Plains 1]]. Cheep Cheeps swim around in circles or on a path between two separate points, while those above water either continuously jump on the ground or leap in front of drivers from the water. Big Cheep Cheeps also appear as background elements in GBA Cheep-Cheep Island. When bumped into, Cheep Cheeps simply bounce a driver back. They can be taken out by hitting them with an item or by simply driving into them, giving points in the process.

The game also features several vehicle parts based on Cheep Cheeps: the [[Cheep Charger]] returns from ''Mario Kart Wii'', while several parts such as the [[Cheep Snorkel]] and [[Cheep Cheep Masks]] debut. A [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] based on a Cheep Cheep also appears as of the [[Ocean Tour]], having the [[Bubble]] as its [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]].

====''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''====

[[File:MKLHC Cheep Cheep Reef Course Icon.png|100px|thumb|left]]

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]''. They are encountered in [[Cheep Cheep Reef]]. Cheep Cheeps are followed by five coins, and contact with one stuns drivers briefly.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They are colored magenta. Cheep-Cheeps are encountered in the second part of [[Crescent Coast]] and in the [[Dark Sea]]. Their behavior is to swim back and forth in the former location and jump out of the water in the latter. Cheep-Cheeps are defeated instantly from a single blast from the [[Super Scope]].

[[File:SMW2 YI Cheep Cheep.png|thumb|150px|left|Artwork of a Flopsy Fish from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'']]

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]]. They are visually split between surface and underwater types,<ref>{{cite|language=Japanese|publisher=Shogakukan|quote=「青いプクプクはまっすぐ泳ぐだけだが、黄色いプクプクはむかってくるので注意。水面から、いきなり飛び出してくることもある。」 (''Blue Pukupuku just swim straight, but take heed of yellow-colored Pukupuku coming straight at you.

Piscatory Petes are slightly smaller and resemble the Cheep Cheep design of ''Super Mario World'', along with the Blurps of the same game. There are two varieties: a blue type that swims forward, occasionally pausing, and a yellow one that quickly follows Yoshi in straight lines, only changing direction when it pauses or hits a wall. The lips of Piscatory Pete are exactly the same as the ones on [[Loch Nestor]]. A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can defeat them in its [[Submarine Yoshi|Submarine]] form with a single torpedo.

They retain their Flopsy Fish<ref>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|date=November 6, 2006|page=60|isbn=1-59812-016-6|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> and Piscatory Pete designs, but the latter is now called Cheep Cheeps in English.<ref>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|date=November 6, 2006|page=65|isbn=1-59812-016-6|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Flopsy Fish appear similarly as before, though their lips and pectoral fins are colored normally. Underwater Cheep Cheeps also act the same as before, but cannot be destroyed by torpedoes, since the submarine cannot shoot them. They appear automatically in the [[Island Museum]] after the first time they are encountered. Cheep-Chomps (known as Boss Bass) also return, having a boss version known as [[Bessie Bass]].

 

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are designed similarly to their other appearances around the time, but still have slightly wider mouths. Cheep Cheeps act like Flopsy Fish while on the surface and are encountered underwater in [[Submarine Yoshi]] areas only. Cheep Cheeps simply swim forwards in a straight line, and green Cheep Cheeps also appear, swimming in a wavy pattern.<ref>{{cite|language=Japanese|publisher=Shogakukan|title=「ヨッシー New アイランド 任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Yoshi's New Island Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'')|page={{file link|Yoshi New Island Shogakukan P24.jpg|24}}|date=August 9, 2014|isbn=978-4-09-106542-1}}</ref> The game's files indicate the green ones are based on Deep Cheeps.<ref>''Yoshi's New Island'', internal filename <tt>G:/content0.game/romfs/param/enemy/pukupuku_search.csv</tt></ref>

 

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Though they kept their standard name in Japan and in [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|the remake]], they were given the name '''Goby''' in English localization of the original game. Cheep Cheeps roam the waterways of [[Kero Sewers]]. In battle, a Cheep Cheep will lower its head and ram into its enemy, and have no special attacks. They are weak against lightning-based magic attacks, and are stunned for a turn when hit with one.

 

After the water of Kero Sewers is drained, Cheep Cheeps flop around erratically on the dry ground, but behave normally in battle. Cheep Cheeps also have green relatives called [[Mr. Kipper]]s.

 

In [[Bowser's Castle#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Bowser's Keep]], a Cheep Cheep named [[Boo, Goo, Bones, and Kipp|Kipp]] makes a small appearance as part of one of [[Dr. Topper]]'s puzzles, where he had apparently competed in a triathlon.

They are encountered in [[Neuron Jungle]], [[Lots O'Jelly Fish]], and [[Lots O'Fish]]. Cheep Cheeps are depicted with visible eyelids, higher-set eyes, and orange lips that are separate all the way to the mouth corners. Cheep Cheeps possess different fins than before, having smaller, circular, and yellow pectoral fins as well as tailfins split into two lobes instead of the usual three. Cheep Cheeps either move back and forth within a small area or swim forward in a relatively straight line. A secret area of Lots O'Fish shows Cheep Cheeps swimming in and out of the background in a huge school, with some carrying melons, similarly to [[Fly Guy|Flying Shy Guy]]s. The [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Fish]] appears and only swims back and forth, while two large red and blue varieties of Boss Bass (now called "big Blurps") appear.

Cheep Cheep is a character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He appears in [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] along with his [[Coach (Mario Party Advance)|coach]], a yellow Cheep Cheep. He is found practicing his swimming at the [[Mushroom Pool]], though is lacking confidence,<ref>{{cite|author=In-game description|language=en|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo|quote=A great swimmer, if only he could get over his insecurities.}}</ref> so the player is requested to help Cheep Cheep regain it by losing in such a way that it does not appear deliberate.<ref>{{cite|quote=OK, I want you to race against Cheep Cheep, but you have to lose. And here's the thing: You have to make your loss look natural!|date=2005|language=en|publisher=Nintendo|author=Coach}}</ref> When the condition is fulfilled, Cheep Cheep excitedly tells his coach that he won. As Cheep Cheep resumes swim practice, the player is thanked by the coach for boosting his confidence and is rewarded the [[Desktop Golf]] [[Gaddget]]. Cheep Cheep was also one of the three witnesses and suspects who saw [[Shroomlock]] being dragged off [[Sushi Cliff]] but denied responsibility.<ref>{{cite|author=Cheep Cheep|date=2005|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|quote=My name's Cheep Cheep. Am I a suspect? I didn't do it! I'm not gill-ty!}}</ref> In the epilogue, Cheep Cheep managed to set a new record.

 

Cheep Cheeps are a species in [[Reel Cheep]], where the goal is to catch the largest one possible.

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in the [[minigame]]s [[Fish & Cheeps]], [[Bridge Work (minigame)|Bridge Work]], and [[Be My Chum!]] as well as on the board [[Grand Canal]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. In the minigames, Cheep Cheeps knock back players on contact. A few Cheep Cheeps in the Grand Canal appear when a player lands on its [[Green Space|Happening Space]] and squirt them back to the starting point.

Cheep Cheeps are background characters in the minigame [[Rowed to Victory]] and pictures in [[Picture Perfect (minigame)|Picture Perfect]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. In the former, Cheep Cheeps watch the players row their boat and assist [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]] in chasing the losers at the end.

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in [[Cheep Chump]], where they create [[whirlpool]]s having to be avoided; an interactable species in [[Cheep Cheep Chance]], where players try to choose the rope with the Cheep Cheep; and the likeness of one of the plush toys in [[Plush Crush]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.

[[File:MP9 Cheep Cheep Shot.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Mario Party 9'', showing the Cheep Cheep boss]]

A giant Cheep Cheep is a boss in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. It is the mini-boss of [[Blooper Beach]], being fought in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Shot]]. Cheep Cheep attacks by either charging at a player or diving at them from the air. The Cheep Cheep takes damage from shells being thrown at it. Besides the boss, Cheep Cheeps appear in a few minigames, including [[Pianta Pool]], where three and five leap through a pink or golden ring, respectively; [[Pier Pressure]], where players try to grab the lines with Cheep Cheeps on the end; and in [[Jigsaw Jumble]], appearing on one of the puzzles.

Cheep Cheeps cameo in the minigames [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]] as tiles in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====

 

 

In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', either a [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]] or a Cheep Cheep using its ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' design will jump out of the water if the ball lands in it. A Cheep Cheep-shaped island surrounded by a fishbowl-shaped lake is also the theme of Hole 4 of [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]]. Cheep Cheep's name sometimes appears on the scorecard; perhaps incidentally, so does "Bub." In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Cheep Cheeps have a course named after them, [[Cheep Cheep Falls]]. Cheep Cheeps make another appearance in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', swimming around the [[Cheep Cheep Lagoon (golf course)|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] course. In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear in the [[Shelltop Sanctuary]] course.

 

====''Paper Mario''====

 

{{br}}

 

 

 

A [[Big Cheep Cheep]] also serves as a mini-boss and is fought in [[Surfshine Harbor]].

{{br}}

 

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They are encountered in [[Bloo Bay Beach]]. Cheep Cheeps are designed identically as in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', albeit with the paper outline from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', and also behave identically. [[Small Cheep Cheep]]s appear in the [[Sacred Forest]].

 

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. They, like many of the Koopa Troop, are converted into [[Folded Soldiers]] by [[King Olly]]. Cheep Cheeps are also seen swimming around at [[Shogun Studios]], outside the entrance to [[Big Sho' Theater]], as well as [[the Great Sea]]. Regular Cheep Cheeps can also be fished up by Mario in various [[fishing spot]]s in varying sizes. A large type of Cheep Cheep known as the [[Legendary Cheep Cheep]] can also be fished up at the pier in [[Full Moon Island]].

 

 

 

 

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Poison Mushroom]]s replace Cheep Cheeps during Junker's battle. However, Cheep Cheeps appear in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode as flying enemies, and their Special Skill is Super Stomp. They only appear in levels in [[Plack Beach]]. At the start of rounds involving them, they are not initially seen with the rest of the squad, rather they jump out of the water to their positions as soon as the battle starts. Cheep Cheeps are one of two standard ''Super Mario'' franchise enemies that cannot be recruited as allies, the other being [[Urchin]]s due to being unable to travel on land.

 

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as enemies, sporting their traditional red color scheme instead of indigo. In battle, they sometimes fight alongside [[Urchin]]s. Hammer attacks do not affect them, as they float above the ground. Cheep Cheeps can attack by jumping into or over the Mario Bros. They can also attack by spitting water, which can be countered with a hammer. If they hit Paper Mario with their water attack, he will become Creased and will be unable to use or make copies of himself. If a battle is started with a Cheep Cheep as it is heading back to the water, the Cheep Cheeps will be tired and unable to float, allowing hammer attacks to be used. While they are tired, they will occasionally flee from battle. Their paper counterparts do not appear in the game.

 

 

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. They have their swimming-and-leaping-upwards behavior from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', alongside the Spiny Cheep-Cheep, which jumps upwards constantly.

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They behave similarly to the Flopsy Fish in early entries of the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. They can be defeated simply by jumping on them. Cheep Cheeps also received a variant, [[Sad Cheep Cheep]]s.

 

Cheep Cheeps cameo in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. One appears ass a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as well as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] in the former. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Cheep Cheep makes a cameo in the [[Super Mario Party#River Survival|River Survival]] [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].

 

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]]. They appear only in three stages: Briny Bowl Swimming Hole, Floaty Fun Water Park, and Goomba Galleon. If a Cheep Cheep within a group is stunned with the pointer or touch screen, the other Cheep Cheeps of the group stop moving. Cheep Cheeps swim back and forth on the ocean floor. They can be defeated either from being landed on, an [[Invincibility Mushroom]], or using the 2 Player Co-op mode functionality on Nintendo Switch.

 

[[File:YWW Cheep Cheep.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|A Cheep Cheep from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are depicted with a knitted appearance befitting the game's aesthetic. Their eyes are thinner and closer together than normal once again, and their mouths are as wide as they were in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They appear during [[Mermaid Yoshi]] segments, and can swim in a variety of ways, including straight forwards and circling, akin to [[Circling Boo Buddies]]. If a Cheep Cheep is eaten by Yoshi in this game, it'll turn into a red [[yarn ball]].

 

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', a picture of a Cheep Cheep can be seen on a box featuring a [[Rabbid]] capturing a [[Blooper]] in a net at the beginning of the level [[Call of Sherbet Mountain]].

 

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', while [[DJ Cheep Tuna]] plays his DJ after it is cleared of Darkmess, lots of Cheep Cheeps jump out of the water in tune to the music.

 

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They are encountered in [[Bombs Away on Pirate Island]], [[Slip-Slide Isle]], and [[Ride the River]]. Both Bombs Away on Pirate Island and [[Skulking Around]] include crafts of Cheep Cheeps, five in each level; in the former level, the crafts are cardboard signs of Cheep Cheeps, while in Skulking Around the crafts are crude paintings in golden frames found on the flip side. Cheep Cheeps attack the player character by jumping out of the water.

===''Dr. Mario World''===

Cheep Cheeps are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, they grant a chance that one [[virus]] is eliminated when starting a stage, but will not completely eliminate a virus that requires multiple hits to be eliminate such as [[floatie virus]]es or [[bubble]]s containing viruses. In versus mode, they make the player's attack meter fill faster by a certain percentage, rounding down the attack meter's value to the nearest round number after the percentage is applied.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

In the {{file link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a purple [[Toad (species)|Toad]] can be seen carrying a plastic fish bag containing a Cheep Cheep. A design of one also appears on the sign of the storefront behind the Toad. A bagged Cheep Cheep also appears in the film itself, where it glares at Mario when he and [[Toad]] are walking through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s town, though it is instead carried by a yellow Toad. In another scene, Mario, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and Toad are seen crossing a bridge with Cheep Cheeps leaping over it, where one latches onto Mario's face; in the official trailer, Peach pulls it off and accidentally causes it to latch onto Toad's face instead. They are also far more detailed, with scales and more realistic tails.
