'''Puffer-Cheeps''' are blue varieties of [[Cheep-Cheep]] found in the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] during the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. These Cheep-Cheeps would attack at first by ramming into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], who would have to [[jump]] to avoid or counter it. However, if damaged, the Puffer-Cheep would puff itself up, revealing spines that prevented the Mario Bros. from jumping on it. If the Puffer-Cheep was damaged again, it would revert back to its original form, which was simply called "Cheep-Cheep". If a Bro. touched it or the Puffer-Cheep touched a Bro., the plumbers might have become [[poison]]ed.

Variant of Cheep Cheep

Puffer-Cheeps are indigo varieties of Cheep Cheeps that appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are found on the Seabed. The Nintendo Power guide refers to the Sand Cheep as a "Puffer-Cheep"[1] or "Puffer Cheep,"[2] while the actual Puffer-Cheep is referred to as a "Puffy Cheep".[3] In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they and their base form are replaced by Spiny Cheep Cheeps, which similarly toggle between standard and spiny.

Battle[edit]

Cheep Cheeps attack at first by ramming into Mario or Luigi, who have to jump to avoid or counter it. If damaged, the Cheep Cheep puffs itself up, transforming into a Puffer-Cheep and revealing spines that prevent the Mario Bros. from jumping on it. It will also lower down, losing its immunity to hammer attacks. In this form, it will attempt to ram into the Mario Bros. again, which must be countered with the hammer this time. The Bros. will be poisoned if the attack hits or if they attempt to jump on it without the proper badge. If the Puffer-Cheep is damaged again, it reverts back to its original form.
