'''Cheep Chomps''', originally called '''Bubbas'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=12|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and formerly formatted as '''Cheep-Chomps''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.''

They closely resemble [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in later appearances, and much like Boss Basses, they attempt to eat [[Mario]].

Cheep-Chomps (called as such for the first time) appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] swim too close to a Cheep-Chomp, it follows him, opens its mouth with a creaking sound, and tries to eat him. If Mario or Luigi is eaten, they lose a life. They can be defeated, like all other fish, with a [[fireball]] or as [[Mega Mario|Mega Mario/Luigi]]. Only three appear in the entire game, all of them appearing in the same level: [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. Only one Cheep-Chomp can exist on-screen at any given time, preventing other Cheep-Chomps from appearing where they normally would. Additionally, it is the first game to give it its current English name and design, which is based on the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' incarnation except retextured purple with a turquoise tail and dorsal fin, likely so players can more easily distinguish them from the less-aggressive [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]]. Incidentally, their coloration is somewhat reminiscent of [[Blurp]]. They are about three times as large as Cheep-Cheeps in this game.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', only two Cheep-Chomps appear: one is in a bonus area of [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]], and another is in a bonus area of [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. A fireball or [[Super Star|Star]] can defeat Cheep-Chomps, but they are invincible to [[Ice Ball|ice ball]]s from [[Ice Mario]]. Two changes are made from ''New Super Mario Bros.'': it is distinctly larger, being the largest Cheep Cheep in the game, and defeating it releases three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. The [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide for this game also incorrectly refers to the Cheep-Chomp as a [[Porcupuffer]].<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=82 and 176|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 15, 2009|language=en-us}}</ref>

Cheep Chomps (parsed with a space instead of a hyphen for the first time) once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. One makes its first appearance early in [[World 1-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-5]]. When defeated, it releases three [[coin]]s. They reappear as common enemies in [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-5]]. Another appears in [[Impossible Pack#Course 1|course one]] of the Impossible Pack, near two whirlpools. Like in the previous game, they are the largest Cheep Cheeps, being about 3 1/4 times as large as normal Cheep Cheeps. Unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Cheep-Chomps only chase Mario in a preset area and give up chase if he leaves said area.

 

 

 

====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====

In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', Cheep Chomps appear at [[Shelltop Sanctuary]].

They patrol their own little section of water, and periodically leap out in an attempt to swallow Yoshi whole. Boss Bass can only eat Yoshi while they are descending. The mid-boss of World 3, [[Bessie Bass]], is a giant member of the species. While Cheep-Chomps do not appear in any other games of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], [[Lunge Fish]] are given a similar leaping behavior afterwards.

A giant Cheep Chomp (also called a '''Big Cheep Chomp''' by [[Prima Games]]<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|isbn=978-0-307-89675-9|date=2012|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|page=282-283, 285}}</ref>) appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' as an obstacle. It can be seen on the surface of the water in [[Long Fall Falls]], pursuing Mario (who is riding a raft down the river). The Cheep Chomp appears to be made of cardboard, featuring a propeller-like tail. The Cheep Chomp can destroy parts of the raft Mario is riding on by ramming into it, and being eaten results in an instant [[Game Over]]. When both reach a waterfall, Mario and his raft continue to fall, while the Cheep Chomp's "propeller" ends up propelling it upward, into space.
