'''Eep Cheeps'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Steve|date=November 18, 2012|title=New Super Mario Bros. U: Prima Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=978-0-307-89690-2|page=31}}</ref> are a variant of [[Cheep Cheep]] that is orange in color and has a lighter yellow color to its fin. Unlike other types of Cheep Cheeps, they swim away from [[Mario]] when he gets close. Their name is a combination of the species name "Cheep Cheep" and "eep," a short scream of fright in reference to their "cowardly" demeanor.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Eep Cheep Render.png|left|frame]]
Eep Cheeps first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They swim away from the player whenever they get close, which is the opposite of [[Deep Cheep|Deep-Cheep]]s and their behavior. They only appear in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-4]], and whenever there is a riff in the music, Eep Cheeps will twirl like their regular counterpart.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Eep Cheeps return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|Nintendo Switch version]]. They retain their behavior and appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' in all three games. ''New Super Luigi U'' additionally introduces [[Big Eep Cheep|larger versions of them]].

===''Mario Kart Tour''===
While no actual Eep Cheeps make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', one of the masks used in the [[Cheep Cheep Masks]] glider is designed after an Eep Cheep.

Unused Appearances:

Eep Cheeps make a hidden appearance in "[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]" in one of the unused levels. They swim up and down in packs of 3, but the second group only spawns two, most likely because it never got loaded in.

===Other appearances===

Though first seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the concept of orange-colored Cheep Cheeps was [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|originally]] meant to be in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (as seen on the picture on the right), released 21 years prior, where these enemies would have come in groups of three and swam faster than green ones. While they are technically more of a tan color in the original due to sharing a palette with [[Goomba]]s, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' color it orange despite it still being unused. Eep Cheeps also go unused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though they would function just as they do in the other games they appear in.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/New_Super_Mario_Bros._2/Unused_Features|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2''/Unused Features|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=August 7, 2024}}</ref>

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Clownfish are replaced with Eep Cheeps.

The twelfth Fishing Tourney in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp]]'' that began on March 14, 2019 featured Eep Cheeps alongside regular [[Cheep Cheep]]s, [[Cheep Chomp]]s, and [[Blooper]]s, owing to it being run on [[Mario Day]]. An Eep Cheep balloon attached to a [[Brick Block]] could also be obtained as special furniture after reaching the 800, 950, 1,100, or 1,300 cm milestone.

Eep Cheeps appear in the [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']] Character Pack (Series 1) as one of nine possible blind bag characters.
