'''Peepas''' are [[Boo]]-like enemies debuting in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are small, white ghosts with stubby arms, black eyes with white pupils and a permanently smiling mouth which shows its two teeth. As ghostly enemies that have an appearance different from most Boos and often travel in predetermined paths, Peepas are somewhat similar to [[Eerie]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:PeepaSM3DL.png|frame|left]]
Peepas are exclusive to the [[Ghost House]]s found in the game. These enemies are usually found alongside [[Boo]]s. Peepas do not directly attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when they get too close, but rather stay in a stationary position or move in a set area, making them more of an obstacle rather than an enemy. Sometimes, several Peepas encircle a select area similar to the [[Octoboo]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. A Peepa can only be defeated by running into it while under the effects of a [[Super Star]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Peepa NSMB2.png|thumb|Circling Peepas in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'']]
Peepas made their next appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', marking their first sidescroller appearance. They act like the [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Like most Boos of the game, they have a bluish complexion. Peepas first appear in [[World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2's]] Ghost House. 

Also, in {{world-link|3|ghosthousen2|World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, Peepas carry [[ghost-coaster]]s. They appear when Mario stands on one of them. Sometimes they will tilt the ghost-coasters and also disappear at the end of a path, taking the ghost-coaster. These platform-carrying Peepas do not hurt Mario or Luigi if they touch them, unlike the circling Peepas.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Peepas reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Unlike in previous games, they can be defeated by the light of a [[Light Box]]. Here, they make a unique distorted sound effect when defeated. This is also the first game where Peepas are shown with an expression other than their usual grin; as they make a terrified face when they are being illuminated by a Light Box.

In ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', a trait from ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' has been added; in the [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels, Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat Peepas and [[Boo]]s similarly to the Light Box.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2 SM3DW Big Peepa.png|thumb|90px|left|A big Peepa]]
Peepas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they are placeable enemies in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Much like in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', they act like the [[Boo Buddies]], which are present in the other game styles.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Peepas in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' replace [[Red Boo|Red Boos]] from previous games. In the [[minigame]] [[Get Reel]], a few can be seen inhabiting the corridor, where they end up chasing Mario. They also appear in the minigames [[Horror Harriers]] and [[Peep a Peepa]], where players have to avoid them and shine a light on them, respectively.

====''Mario Party 10''====
[[File:MP10-PeepaPanic.png|thumb|Peepas in Peepa Panic]]
Peepas make an appearance in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as the main obstacles in the four-player minigame [[Peepa Panic]].

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
{{quote|Whaaa?! Two of the same person? What is this madness?!|[[World 2-2 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-2]] and [[World 2-3 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-3]]|''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''}}
Peepas reappear in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. They serve as the primary obstacles in [[World 2-2 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-2]] and [[World 2-3 (Mario Party: Star Rush)|World 2-3]], where they masquerade as a duplicate ally. When players take them, they reveal themselves and hinder the party with their [[Cursed Dice Block]], which rolls only 0's and -1's. Players cannot select to play as a Peepa, and they disappear after a set amount of time. They additionally appear in the minigames [[House of Boos]] and [[King Boo's Light Smite]], where they travel in straight lines. They grab players and bring them to the beginning if players run into them.

====''Super Mario Party''====
Peepas appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as non-playable characters. When the [[Peepa Bell]] is used, a Peepa appears and chases a chosen player to take a coin from them each time they move.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Various Peepas appear in the [[Horror Land]] game board of ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Peepas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' in the luck-based minigame [[Gate Key-pers]]. A Peepa also appears as a shopkeeper in the [[Rainbow Galleria]] board where it sells [[Boo Bell|Boo Bells]] for 15 coins.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Peepas appear as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], behaving the same way as in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''. They can be defeated if [[Captain Toad]] or [[Toadette]] shine their headlamps on them for long enough. Additionally, using a [[Double Cherry]] to shine two headlamps on a Peepa will defeat it much faster, within a quarter of a second.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
{{image|more=yes|section=y|Appearance in Super Mario-kun}}
A Peepa appears in volume 46 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It encourages a [[Tail Boo]] to scare Mario. At the end of the chapter, the Peepa gets buried by an avalanche along with the Tail Boo, the [[Big Boo|Tail Boo's father]], and the Bros.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
Peepas make their debut in the ''[[Mario Tennis (series)|Mario Tennis]]'' series with ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' and appear as spectators in the court [[Mirage Mansion]].

===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:DMW-Peepa.png|thumb|150px|Image of a Peepa from ''Dr. Mario World'']]
Peepas appear as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode effect increases the player's base score for every green [[virus]] that is eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance one of the viruses that appear is transformed into an [[exploder]] when all viruses in the player's play area are eliminated. The amount of points gained and the chance of an exploder appearing are increased at higher levels, starting from 50 points and 20% respectively to 200 points and 100% respectively. Peepas also appear as background objects in [[World 4 (Dr. Mario World)|World 4]] when all stages are cleared.

===Unused appearances===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Peepas were going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', but they were [[List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam pre-release and unused content#Unused_graphics|removed from the game for unknown reasons]]; however, the unused Peepa graphics can be found with the Boo graphics.
