Big Deep Cheeps,[1] originally Mega Deep-Cheeps,[2] are large Deep Cheeps that appear in all of the New Super Mario Bros. games except New Super Mario Bros. U. In every one of these games, they are merely bigger than their parent species, but act the same nevertheless: a Big Deep Cheep swims straightly forward, until Mario and his friends approach its vertical axis. If so happens, the it tries to rapidly swim towards the heroes in an attempt to hurt them. However, if the they manage to swim over the Big Deep Cheep, it stops its pursuit and continue its aimless underwater rambling. Mega Deep-Cheeps in New Super Mario Bros. Wii had their size reduced so they appear to be just slightly bigger than common Deep-Cheeps, though this was reverted in New Super Mario Bros. 2.

In Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2, enlarged green Cheep Cheeps take on the appearance of Big Deep Cheeps in the New Super Mario Bros. U game style. Though sharing the design of Big Deep Cheeps, these green Cheep Cheeps do not chase the player, but instead swim endlessly in a straight line like in the other game styles. In these games, green Cheep Cheeps are the same size as Big Deep Cheeps are in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Big Deep Cheeps can be defeated with the power conferred by a Fire Flower or a Super Star in every appearance. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Luigi U only, players can freeze Big Deep Cheeps with the ice balls given by the Ice Flower or the Penguin Suit. Likewise, only in New Super Mario Bros. 2, players can acquire Raccoon forms and down Big Deep Cheeps with tail swings.
