'''Cheep Cheeps''' (sometimes formatted as '''Cheep-Cheeps''' or '''Cheep-cheeps''') 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, and they come in different colors, including yellow and green. The most common ones, however, are red with a white patch on their stomach, a yellow (originally white) tail fin, a mohawk-like dorsal fin and wing-like fins. They also have blue eyes and pink lips. Cheep Cheeps have fins shaped like wings and may attack above the surface of the water by jumping out in an arc. Given this, Cheep Cheeps seem to be inspired by [[Wikipedia:Flying fish|flying fish]], who behave similarly.

[[File:Ani smb1cheepr.gif|frame]]

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]], or if Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. They are found in all of the water levels and can usually be seen with [[Blooper|Bloobers]]. In some levels, red Cheep Cheeps become less predictable obstacles by leaping from the bottom of the screen.<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/manuals/#characters-enemies Legends of Localization] comparing the Japanese and North American storylines of ''Super Mario Bros.'' (Retrieved April 30, 2014)</ref> These can be defeated in a single jump, but it's hard to do so, as they jump very high. They often appear in pit-heavy areas, and can foul Mario's attempts to cross should they jump directly under him.

There are two kinds of Cheep Cheeps in the game. One of them is colored red and moves moderately fast. The other is colored gray (green in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'') and moves more slowly. However, this could imply that the gray Cheep Cheeps were ''meant'' to be green, but appear gray due to the underwater palette (and green-colored enemies to appear gray underwater). Interestingly enough, unused green Cheep Cheep sprites appear in the game's coding.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====

[[File:CheepCheepSMA4.png|frame|right]]

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear in red and green variants. The red ones usually leap out of water and sometimes even [[lava]], while the green ones swim back and forth in water. The game was also to include yellow Cheep Cheeps, which were to move even faster than red Cheep Cheeps and appear in trios, but they were taken out due to unknown reasons. This game also introduced infant and adult versions of Cheep Cheep - [[Baby Cheep]] and its mother, [[Big Bertha]], as well as the feared [[Boss Bass]]. The NES manual refers to [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s simply as "Cheep-cheeps", describing them as thorny, and even shows artwork of a Spiny Cheep Cheep.

====''Super Mario World''====

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', they pose a numerous threat as the yellow, slow-moving fish found underwater and in floating bubbles, although they are only found in [[bubble]]s when they appear on land. If Cheep Cheeps are on land flipping around, Mario or Luigi can simply run into them to defeat them. They can also be defeated with a [[Cape]], [[Yoshi]], or [[fireball]]s.

[[File:SM64 - Bub Screenshot.png|thumb|150px|right]]

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Cheep Cheeps (known here as '''Bubs'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pg. 12</ref>) appear in [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. They are colored orange and yellow in this game, and have visible scales. These slow-moving fish will follow [[Mario]] when he swims, but they don't tend to attack him. However, if Mario touches one, he will be damaged, thus losing [[Health Meter|health]]. They are also indestructible. The Player's Guide describes it as "one cool [[wikipedia:Koi|koi]]" - although, along with their [[Boss Bass#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|big brother]], there are actually only two of them in the game. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they were redesigned to resemble the usual appearance of Cheep Cheeps, and they pose even less of a threat to the heroes.

[[File:Cheep-Cheep Sunshine Art.png‎|100px|thumb|left|An orange variety of Cheep Cheeps in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]

There are three varieties of Cheep Cheeps in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', behaving like [[Rip Van Fish]]es from ''Super Mario World''. An orange variety is found in [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Delfino Airstrip]], and sometimes during the [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] fight in [[Sirena Beach]], a flaming, maroon variant lives in the lava in [[Corona Mountain]], and a pink variety can be found in [[Noki Bay]], [[Gelato Beach]], and Delfino Airstrip.

 

The orange and charred varieties make huge leaps and can be defeated by either a [[jump]] or with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], and can also turned into platforms by [[Yoshi]]'s juice. However, they will keep respawning. If King Boo spins three question marks on the slot machine during his battle, he may spit out two Cheep Cheeps, but they'll flop about upside down. The pink ones will actively hunt Mario down if he gets too close and they will catch Mario in their mouths, dragging him down deeper into the depths of the water but they don't hurt him. These Cheep Cheeps are invincible to all of Mario's attacks, and it's unknown if Yoshi can defeat them since they're found in deep waters that Mario typically can't reach with Yoshi. They have blue fins on their tails and back in this game, as well as blue spots on their undersides and a slightly flatter body shape.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Cheep Cheeps behave the same way as in other platformers and have a [[Big Cheep Cheep|larger version]]. However, two subspecies were introduced: the [[Deep Cheep]], [[Cheep Chomp]] and an unknown, purple one, similar to the [[Porcupuffer]]. Deep Cheeps and Cheep Chomps chase Mario when they appear on-screen. Deep Cheeps can't turn around, but Cheep Chomps can. The Deep Cheep also has a [[Big Deep Cheep|larger version]]. In [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)#World 2-4|World 2-4]], a strange Cheep Cheep appears in a bonus area. It swims in a wavy line and trails six coins behind it. They also briefly turn toward the player if run into from behind.

[[File:CheepCheepsmg.PNG|thumb|left|100px|Artwork of a Cheep Cheep in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', acting the same way as they did in older games. They only appear in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], in the second and third missions. 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. 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 [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]]. They are also seen in the video at the end of the game, jumping out of the water near [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

<br clear=all>

Cheep Cheeps also reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In this game, there are three colors of Cheep Cheep: red, [[Deep Cheep|green]], and [[Eep Cheep|golden]]. [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s also make an appearance.

 

 

The golden colored Cheep Cheeps, [[Eep Cheep]]s, are always found in schools, called '''Cheep Cheep Schools'''{{refneeded}}. They will also swim away from players whenever they get close, the complete opposite of the Deep Cheep's behavior. The Eep Cheeps seem to resemble the [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|unused]] yellow Cheep Cheeps of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', but are much more common than in the predecessor. They appear in water-themed galaxies such as [[Cosmic Cove Galaxy]] and [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], but they don't hop on land. They are now found swimming near the surface and can be defeated by a spin, jump, or by [[Yoshi]]'s tongue. They can not be stunned with a [[Star Bit]].

[[File:SM3DL 3-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Mario encountering Cheep Cheeps underwater in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as underwater enemies in some of the levels, including some of World 3. They can also jump out of water. This time, stomping on a Cheep Cheep underwater won't harm Mario. Additionally, they can be flattened by using [[Ground Pound]] whilst underwater. They can also be defeated by [[fireballs]], tail whips, boomerang hits, and turning into [[Statue Mario]] above them. They first appear in World 1-1 where they will attempt to hit Mario by jumping out of the water.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they jump out of water trying to harm Mario or Luigi. After the Mario Brothers touch a [[Gold Ring (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|Gold Ring]], Cheep Cheeps (among other enemies) will turn [[Gold Cheep Cheep|golden]]. In this state, they are followed by a row of five [[coin]]s. There are also some that swim in a circle similar to the [[Circling Boo Buddies]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

[[File:Yoshi Cheeps NSMBU.png|thumb|left|Jumping Cheep Cheeps in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They behave exactly like in past titles. Jumping Cheep Cheeps also appear, as well as the Eep Cheeps. There is also a new type of Cheep Cheep, known as the [[Mecha Cheep]], that appears in underwater airships. They seem to be mechanical, and they use propellers on their fins to move forward.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', but only in the first half of [[Pipeline Lagoon]].

{{br|left}}

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

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as enemies, and can be placed above or underwater. They function the same as previous games, except for not flipping around in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, they start out as their green variant, go in a straight line and never stop, while they can be shaken to be turned into their red variant which follows Mario. They can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and given wings, which the latter makes them fly in the air after they jump out of water. They can be placed in [[Bill Blasters]], [[Warp Pipes]], and [[Blocks]].

===Nintendo Adventure Books===

As Luigi and Toad are exploring Water Land in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Cheep Cheeps jump from the water to try and 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 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 nob 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]].

Cheep Cheeps first appear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They appear as enemies along with [[Thwomp]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Monty Mole]]s. Cheep Cheeps appear in two races, [[Koopa Beach 1]] and [[Koopa Beach 2]]. In the courses, they are obstacles that the player must dodge. A Cheep Cheep balloon holds the trophy during the award ceremony.

After appearing as enemies in ''Super Mario Kart'', a Cheep Cheep appears as an enemy in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. A giant Cheep Cheep appears in the course [[Banshee Boardwalk]]. This Cheep Cheep tries to swallow the passing racers that drive by. Similar to ''Super Mario Kart'', a Cheep Cheep balloon holds the trophy during the award ceremony.

Cheep Cheeps appear as non-playable characters in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game, ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. In this game, they have a course named after them, called [[Cheep-Cheep Island]]. Larger Cheep Cheeps can be seen jumping in the background here. Koopa Beach 1 and Koopa Beach 2 from [[Super Mario Kart]] appear in this game, but the Cheep Cheeps are absent due to both being Extra tracks.

Cheep Cheeps, again, make non-playable appearances in the [[Nintendo DS]] game, ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In this game, Cheep Cheeps have a course named after them, called [[Cheep Cheep Beach]]. Koopa Beach 2 returns, with Cheep Cheeps appearing as hazards. Banshee Boardwalk also returns, but the Cheep Cheep is replaced with a [[Boss Bass]]. In [[Mario Kart DS#Mission|mission]] 1-4, [[Wario]] must storm through five Cheep Cheeps with a [[Star]].

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Cheep Cheeps make cameo appearances. In the course, [[Koopa Cape]], when the player enters the underwater tunnel, Cheep Cheeps are seen in the background. [[Unagi]]s can also be seen with them. Also, the [[Cheep Charger]] is a [[Kart]] that resembles Cheep Cheeps for light-weighted characters.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Cheep Cheeps once again appear on the returning course Koopa Cape. They also appear on [[Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] as well as in [[Daisy Cruiser (course)|Daisy Cruiser]].

In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', a few Cheep Cheeps appear in the underwater section of one of the courses.

====''Mario Kart 8''====

Cheep Cheeps return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', in the retro track [[Cheep Cheep Beach|DS Cheep Cheep Beach]], and again serve as obstacles.

Additionally, two golden Cheep Cheeps appear above the start/finish line in [[Dragon Driftway]].

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

''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' again features Cheep Cheeps. Cheep Cheeps hinder [[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 are accompanied by similar-looking [[Blurp]]s. They can be destroyed by a tossed [[Green Shell]] or a fireball.

Cheep Cheeps appear in several [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' games]], though they are named '''Flopsy Fish'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|Page 126]].</ref> in the English versions. They make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (pictured at right) and reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' (as a character, paired with a [[Lunge Fish]]), ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They are a bit bigger than in most games and either jump out of water or just swim around, and a more aggressive version repeatedly jumps out of the water with its mouth open. They can't be turned into [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s if [[Yoshi]] eats them. The level "[[Lake Shore Paradise]]" has one of them as a map screen icon. In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', a blue, spiky version similar to a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]] appears that has not been seen since. In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they more closely resemble ''Mario'' series Cheep Cheeps.

More traditional Cheep Cheeps are found in the ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''<ref>[http://hit930.sakura.ne.jp/hitjapan/book7/P131129292.JPG Scan of 「ヨッシーストーリーNINTENDO64必勝攻略ブック」 (''Yoshi's Story Nintendo 64 Hisshō Kōryaku Book'')]</ref> and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. In the former, they are found in the seas in stages 5-1: [[Lots O' Jellyfish]] and 5-2: [[Lots O' Fish]]. Some swim back and forth in one small area, while others swim continuously forward in a more-or-less straight line. Two giant versions from the "[[Blurp (Yoshi's Story)|Blurp]]" family also make their debut. In the latter, they appear with a knitted appearance as they are made out of yarn.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

[[File:Goby.gif|frame|left]]

In the English version of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear under the name '''Goby'''. They are actually Cheep Cheeps, as they share the same Japanese name (''Pukupuku''). Gobies dwell underwater in [[Kero Sewers]]. They roam the waterways, battling intruders who invade their territory. In battle, a Goby will lower its head and ram into its enemy. Gobies have no special attacks, and they are weak against lightning-based magic attacks.

Unfortunately for the Gobies, the water of Kero Sewers can be drained, which is exactly what happens during the events of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''. Without water, Gobies flop around erratically on the dry ground. However, when engaged by an attacker, Gobies will use their fins as wings, allowing them to fly for short periods of time. While flying, Gobies attack in the same way as they do when swimming. Gobies also have green-skinned relatives called [[Mr. Kipper]]s.

Cheep Cheeps return as enemies in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. In this game, they are only red, unlike in ''Super Paper Mario'' where they were also green. Cheep Cheeps only appear in Whitecap Beach, where they jump out of the water, or poisoned water if [[Gooper Blooper]] hasn't been defeated.

In this game Cheep Cheeps like poison just like [[Snifit]]s. They have the same [[HP]] as [[Spinies]] do and can be defeated without battling them however, they will respawn no matter what. In battle, they can either slam into Mario or shoot a jet of water. Failure to block this attack will have around a 75% chance that could give Mario the [[Soggy]] status effect.

 

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

===''Mario Golf'' series===

In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', either a Boss Bass in its ''Super Mario 64'' design or a Cheep Cheep in its ''Yoshi's Story'' design will jump out of the water if the ball lands in it. Cheep Cheep is also the theme of Mario's Star Hole 4. Cheep Cheeps do not make a physical appearance in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' but instead have a course named after them, [[Cheep Cheep Falls]]. Cheep Cheeps return in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', swimming around the [[Cheep Cheep Lagoon (golf course)|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] course.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as enemies, but this time, instead of blue, they appear in their normal red appearance as seen in various ''Mario'' games. In battle they sometimes battle with [[Urchin]]s.

{{br}} If they hit Paper Mario with their water attack, he will become Creased and will be unable to use or make copies of himself.

[[File:MarioPartyBubba.PNG|thumb]]

In ''[[Mario Party]]'', stepping on a [[Green Space|Happening Space]] in [[Yoshi's Tropical Island]] results in a rather large Cheep Cheep<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4-O-rmdi-E&t=3m45s Japanese ''Mario Party'' gameplay]</ref> taking [[Toad]] in its mouth and switching his position with [[Bowser]]. It was renamed "'''Bubba'''" in the English release.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', in the minigame [[Abandon Ship (minigame)|Abandon Ship]]. They more closely resemble their appearance in ''Super Mario 64''.

A single Cheep Cheep appears in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Chase]]. They look the same as their previous appearance.

A single Cheep Cheep appears in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', in the minigame [[Fish n' Drips]]. Here, the [[Fishin' Lakitu]] drops it in the winning group's pool.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', there are two Cheep Cheeps that appear in Shroom City. One of them is golden, and is a swim coach; the other is the normal red color and is the swim student. Upon arriving at the [[Mushroom Pool]], the coach tells the player that his student was lacking in confidence, and asks if the player will race him; however, the player has to lose, but make it look convincing. After succeeding, the coach rewards the player with the Gaddget [[Desktop Golf]]. The ending states that Cheep Cheep had improved, even setting a record, and that the coach wrote a book about his confidence techniques.

In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear in many [[minigame]]s, including [[Fish & Cheeps]], [[Bridge Work (minigame)|Bridge Work]], and [[Be My Chum!]]. There is also a Cheep Cheep in the [[Grand Canal]] that will squirt a player who lands on its [[Green Space]] (which is in front of what looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa) back to the start.

Cheep Cheeps make two cameo appearances in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. One is in the minigame [[Rowed to Victory]]. They appear in the background watching the players row their boat. After that they assist a [[Big Cheep Cheep]] in chasing the losers. Also they appear as one of the pictures in [[Picture Perfect (minigame)|Picture Perfect]].

In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' there is a minigame called [[Cheep Chump]], where the player must prevent their character from getting sucked up by a Cheep Cheep. There is another minigame called [[Cheep Cheep Chance]], where the player must choose the rope with the Cheep Cheep on it.

In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', a giant Cheep Cheep is one of the bosses that appear in the game. It is the mini-boss of [[Blooper Beach]]. The Cheep Cheep is faced in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Shot]], in which the players must attack the Cheep Cheep by tossing shells at it while avoiding its attacks, which are charging directly at a player, or by diving at the players from the air.

 

Cheep Cheeps also make minor appearances in the game. In the minigame [[Pianta Pool]], Cheep Cheeps appear to leap through the rings the players grab. Three leap through a pink ring, while five leap through the golden ring. Additionally, in the minigame [[Pier Pressure]], players attempt to grab the lines that have Cheep Cheeps on the end. Players are allowed to continue competing as long as they fish up a Cheep Cheep. A Cheep Cheep is also on one of the puzzles to be solved in the minigame [[Jigsaw Jumble]]. Additionally, [[Deep Cheep]]s from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' can be seen jumping over the water in Blooper Beach.

Cheep Cheeps return in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' where they appear as tiles in [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]].

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in various minigames that usually portray them in large shoals. In the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Leap]], many of them, together with [[Gold Cheep Cheep]]s and [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s, must be hit by the then-[[Invincible Mario|invincible]] players for points. Also, in the minigame [[Meanie Match]], a Cheep Cheep stands along many enemies that are present on the circular arrangement of pictures. Cheep Cheeps represent the main feature of [[Cheep Cheep Check]], a minigame where three players try to count the number of Cheep Cheeps in an aquarium while the single player moves the Cheep Cheeps and triggers [[Clampy|Clampies]] to spray bubbles at them, in order to confuse the other three players. Aside from these, in [[Cheep Chomp]]'s boss battle, some Cheep Cheep sentries swim around Cheep Chomp in his maddened phase; they help deflect Koopa Shells shot by the characters.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they act similar to the Flopsy Fish in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They can be defeated simply by jumping on them. A sub-species under the spell of the [[Vibe Scepter]] are the [[Sad Cheep Cheep]]s.

===''Mario Super Sluggers''===

They also appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' at [[Daisy Cruiser]], jumping around on the deck at night. [[Gooper Blooper]] appears with the Cheep Cheeps.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' as rare enemies, only found in one stage, where they swim back and forth on the ocean floor. There are no methods of defeating them in this stage, due to a lack of weapons for Captain Toad.

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

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' along with their sub-species [[Blurp]]s and [[Fish Bone]]s. Cheep Cheeps can be combined with a [[wing]] item to become a Para-Cheep, additionally, Cheep Cheeps can be thrown by [[Lakitu]]s and [[Bill Blaster]]s . If a Cheep Cheep falls into lava on the castle scene, they will turn into Fiery Cheep Cheeps.

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

[[File:SMWMAYALQuestion.png|200px|thumb|left|A Cheep Cheep in a question in ''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', a Cheep Cheep is one of the incorrect choices in a question. It doesn't appear anywhere else in the video.

[[File:Cheep-Cheep (AR Fishing).JPG|thumb|right|200px|A Cheep Cheep in the AR Fishing game.]]

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] application [[AR Games]], Cheep Cheeps can be caught in the Fishing minigame if the [[Question Block]] AR Card is placed on a red surface.

====Other====

Cheep Cheeps, along with [[Lava Bubble]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Thwimp]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s all appear in ''[[zeldawiki:Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. ''[[zeldawiki:Oracle of Seasons|The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons]]'' has Thwimps and Pokeys, and shares Thwomps, Podoboos and Cheep Cheeps along with its sister game, ''[[zeldawiki:Oracle of Ages|Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages]]''.

Cheep Cheeps also make a cameo in ''Lego City Undercover'', in which they appear if the player goes fishing when not required.

==General information==

===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 only 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 [[List of Implied Characters#Sashimie|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 them the first generic ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' enemy to be entirely female. However, this has changed since the ''Paper Mario'' series, in which both male and female members of the Cheep Cheep species have appeared. The Cheep Cheep boss of ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' is also referred to as male in the minigame description.

And they've not only made appearances in the Mario series—they're also bobbing around in the water in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening! They were also the inspiration for the Cheep Charger in Mario Kart Wii.''
