'''Cheep Cheeps''' (sometimes formatted as '''Cheep-Cheeps''' or '''Cheep-cheeps''') are fish that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. They are found mostly in the water but they can jump out of the water as well like in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. There are many different species of Cheep Cheeps, and they come in different colors, including yellow and green. The most common ones, however, are red with a white patch on their stomach, a yellow (originally white) tail fin, a mohawk-like dorsal fin and wing-like fins. They also have blue eyes and pink lips. Cheep Cheeps have fins shaped like wings and may attack above the surface of the water by jumping out in an arc. Given this, Cheep Cheeps seem to be inspired by [[Wikipedia:Flying fish|flying fish]], who behave similarly. Most Cheep Cheeps appear to be affiliated with Bowser and the Koopa Troop, while others, such as the ones seen in ''Super Paper Mario'', are not. When in water, they are extremely passive, simply swimming forward or in an arc, only damaging Mario if he touches them.
'''Cheep Cheeps''' (sometimes formatted as '''Cheep-Cheeps''' or '''Cheep-cheeps''') are {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}}-like creatures<ref>{{cite|title=''Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten''|date=November 20, 1994|publisher=Shogakukan|language=Japanese|page=[https://i.imgur.com/EVcDzB9.jpeg 190]|isbn=4-09-259067-9}}</ref> that made their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] franchise. They are found mostly in [[water]], but often jump out of it as well. There are many different species of Cheep Cheeps, and they come in different colors, including orange, yellow, green, light-blue, blue, indigo, purple, magenta, black, gray, and brown. The most common ones, however, are red with a white patch on their stomach, a yellow (originally white in some artwork) tail fin, a mohawk-like dorsal fin and wing-like fins. They also have blue eyes and pink lips. Cheep Cheeps may attack above the surface of the water by jumping out in an arc. Given this, Cheep Cheeps seem to be inspired by {{iw|wikipedia|flying fish}}, hence their wing-like fins, which behave similarly. Many Cheep Cheeps appear to be among [[Bowser's Minions]], though some, such as the ones seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', are not. In many games, Cheep Cheeps possess a variety of attacks, typically involving jumping behavior.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Cheep Cheeps are found in the underwater levels, swimming towards the player, where they can only be defeated with a [[fireball]], or if Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]]. They are found in all of the water levels and can usually be seen with [[Blooper]]s. In some levels, red Cheep Cheeps become less predictable obstacles by leaping from the bottom of the screen.<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/manuals/#characters-enemies Legends of Localization] comparing the Japanese and North American storylines of ''Super Mario Bros.'' (Retrieved April 30, 2014)</ref> These can be defeated in a single jump, but it's hard to do so, as they jump very high. They often appear in pit-heavy areas, and can foul Mario's attempts to cross should they jump directly under him.

Cheep-cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. They are encountered in every underwater [[level]], first appearing in [[World 2-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-2]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'', and swim towards the player character in either a straight line or a wavy pattern. There are red Cheep-cheeps that move moderately fast and gray Cheep-cheeps, which move slower. A single green one is located off-screen in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/Eden_GT_/status/1326442788817268738|publisher=X|title=New bug demonstration:<br>In 2-3, there's a hidden Green Cheep Cheep enemy located at the very top/bottom wrap of the screen that is too difficult to access naturally by manipulating Cheep Cheep patterns to get above the status bar, so at the moment cheats are used here to show it.|author=Eden_GT_|date=November 11, 2020|accessdate=March 27, 2021|language=en}}</ref> The gray ones are recolored green in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a holdover from the "orange and gray" palette used underwater in the original occupying the same hardware space as the "orange and green" palette used for overworld graphics, as demonstrated by [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. A Cheep-cheep can be defeated from either a [[fireball]] or if Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].

Since no more than three enemies can appear onscreen once due to hardware limitations,{{ref needed}} only three Cheep Cheeps are ever allowed onscreen at a time.
 
A few green Cheep-cheeps take on the identity of a [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]], including the one at the end of [[World B-4]] in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and the fake Bowser at the end of [[World 1-4 (VS Game)|World 1-4]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe#You VS. Boo|You VS. Boo]] mode of ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''.


There are two kinds of Cheep Cheeps in the game. One of them is colored red and moves moderately fast. The other is colored gray (green in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'') and moves more slowly. However, this could imply that the gray Cheep Cheeps were ''meant'' to be green, but appear gray due to the underwater palette (and green-colored enemies to appear gray underwater).

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear in red and green variants. The red ones usually leap out of water and sometimes even [[lava]], while the green ones swim back and forth in water. The game was also to include yellow Cheep Cheeps, which were to move even faster than red Cheep Cheeps and appear in trios, but they were taken out due to unknown reasons. This game also introduced infant and adult male and female versions of Cheep Cheep - [[Baby Cheep]] and its mother, [[Big Bertha]], as well as the feared [[Boss Bass]]. [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s also debut in this game, but the NES manual simply calls them "Cheep-cheeps," describing them as thorny.

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are featured in red and green variants; between them, only the latter appears in any underwater-themed levels, though they are more common in shallow pools elsewhere. The green type appears cyan in [[fortress]]es in the original version. Red Cheep-Cheeps usually swim before leaping from the water in order to hit Mario, though some bounce along the surface constantly and make a large leap once they approach Mario. Other Cheep-Cheeps jump between small portions of water, and cannot be seen underwater. Some Cheep-Cheeps leap from the bottom of the screen at random, like in ''Super Mario Bros.'', though sometimes over [[lava]]. Golden-yellow Cheep-Cheeps capable of moving faster than even green Cheep-Cheeps and appearing in trios moving in a wavy pattern were planned to appear but went unused.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Bros._3#Tan_Cheep-Cheep|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3''|language=en|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> Besides Cheep-cheeps, several variants were introduced, including [[Baby Cheep]]s; their parent, Big Bertha; [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]], and [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s (referred to as "Cheep-cheeps" in localized manuals).<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3''|date=1990|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAACE.pdf|format=PDF|page=36}}</ref> Though both are red, Big Bertha and Boss Bass behave as enlarged versions of the green and red Cheep Cheeps, respectively.


In addition to the NES version's yellow Cheep Cheeps, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was also going to feature the beached Cheep Cheeps of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in its extra levels <ref>https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Advance_4:_Super_Mario_Bros._3/Unused_Objects#Land_Cheep-Cheep</ref>, but they were removed. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', they hurt Mario if he runs into them.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', they appear both as a slow-moving fish found underwater and contained in floating bubbles, although they are only found in [[bubble]]s when they appear on land. If Cheep Cheeps are on land flipping around, Mario or Luigi can simply run into them to defeat them. They can also be defeated with a [[Cape]], [[Yoshi]], or [[fireball]]s.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]]. They are slow-moving fish that swimming back and forth underwater, though some levels of the [[Forest of Illusion]] show them in floating [[bubble]]s over land. Cheep Cheeps that flip around on land can be defeated instantly if touched. Cheep Cheeps can also be defeated with a [[Cape]], [[Yoshi]], or [[fireball]]s. Certain levels have underwater Cheep Cheeps that can leap up vertically every so often, such as in [[Awesome]], where they leap from the bottom of the screen endlessly, though {{file link|Special World.jpg|the relevant artwork}} depicts the related [[Blurp]] instead. Cheep Cheeps are depicted in one color only, using the game's yellow palette, with the behavior of swimming forward endlessly being given to Blurps instead. Cheep Cheeps that are underwater are depicted with anal fins, but not on land. Unlike most enemies, Cheep Cheeps do not appear in the ending's cast roll.

Cheep-Cheeps encountered in the [[Macro Zone]] and [[Turtle Zone]]. Cheep-Cheeps can swim either horizontally or vertically. Cheep-Cheeps can be defeated from either a [[Koopa Shell|shell]], a fireball, or if touched by [[Invincible Mario]]. Blurps also appear, and the game introduces a pufferfish version of [[Spiny Cheep Cheep|Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Cheep Cheeps (known here as '''Bubs'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pg. 12</ref>) appear in [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. They are colored orange and yellow in this game, and have visible scales. These slow-moving fish will follow [[Mario]] when he swims, but they don't tend to attack him. However, if Mario touches one, he will be damaged, thus losing [[Health Meter|health]]. They are also indestructible. The Player's Guide describes it as "one cool [[wikipedia:Koi|koi]]" - although, along with their [[Boss Bass#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|big brother]], there are actually only two of them in the game. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', they were redesigned to resemble the usual appearance of Cheep Cheeps, and they pose even less of a threat to the heroes, though they still cause the heroes to lose health if they run into them.

They are only encountered in [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. Bubs are colored orange, have visible scales, red fins and tail, and wear large goggles, making them resemble [[Blurp]]s more closely than Cheep Cheeps. Bubs typically swim around through the water aimlessly and can sometimes approach the player character. A Bub takes away [[Health Meter|health]] from the player character on contact. They cannot be defeated. The Player's Guide describes a Bub as "one cool {{wp|koi}}." In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Bubs are designed after Cheep Cheeps as depicted in artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.'', a design retained in most games, and one of their behavioral differences is no longer swimming higher or lower from their starting position.

[[File:Cheep Cheep Sunshine Art.png|100px|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Sunshine'', depicting a scarlet Cheep-Cheep]]
There are three varieties of Cheep Cheeps in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. An orange variety is found in [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Delfino Airstrip]], and sometimes during the [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]] fight in [[Sirena Beach]], a flaming, maroon variant lives in the lava in [[Corona Mountain]], and a pink variety can be found in [[Noki Bay]], [[Gelato Beach]], and Delfino Airstrip.
Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. There is a scarlet variety encountered in [[Ricco Harbor]], [[Noki Bay]], and sometimes during the [[Big Boo (character)|King Boo]] fight in [[Sirena Beach]]; a [[Lava Cheep Cheep|fiery, dark-purple variant]] inhabiting the [[lava]] of [[Corona Mountain]]; and '''Tobi Fish''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|date=August 12, 2002|page=60|isbn=1-931886-09-1|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Toki Fish''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=September 3, 2002|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|language=en-us|publisher=Prima Games|page=81}}</ref>) a magenta variety encountered in [[Gelato Beach]], Noki Bay and [[Delfino Airstrip]]. The BradyGames guide refers to both the scarlet and magenta varieties as Tobi Fish.<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|publisher=BradyGames|language=en-us|page=5}}</ref> The scarlet and charred varieties leap at varying heights, and are defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed or sprayed with water from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. Cheep-Cheeps temporarily become platorms if sprayed with juice from [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Two Cheep-Cheeps are sometimes spit out by King Boo during his battle if the slot machine lands on three question marks, though the Cheep-Cheeps flop about upside down. The magenta variety is invulnerable and pursues Mario actively, dragging him down into the water if he is caught in their mouth; they have wider lips like in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', blue fins on their tails and back, blue spots on their undersides, and a slightly flatter body shape.
 
The orange and charred varieties make huge leaps and can be defeated by either a [[jump]] or with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], and can also turned into platforms by [[Yoshi]]'s juice. However, they will keep respawning. If King Boo spins three question marks on the slot machine during his battle, he may spit out two Cheep Cheeps, but they'll flop about upside down. The pink ones will actively hunt Mario down, and, if he gets too close, they will catch Mario in their mouths and drag him down into the water, however, they do not pose any other threat. These Cheep Cheeps are invincible to all of Mario's attacks, and it's unknown if Yoshi can defeat them since they're found in deep waters that Mario typically can't reach with Yoshi. They have blue fins on their tails and back in this game, as well as blue spots on their undersides and a slightly flatter body shape.


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Cheep Cheeps behave the same way as in other platformers and have a [[Big Cheep Cheep|larger version]]. However, three subspecies were introduced: the [[Deep Cheep]], [[Cheep Chomp]] and [[Spike Bass]]. Deep Cheeps and Cheep Chomps chase Mario when they appear on-screen. Deep Cheeps can't turn around, but Cheep Chomps can. The Deep Cheep also has a [[Big Deep Cheep|larger version]]. The Spike Bass acts similar to the [[Boss Bass]], except that it uses its spines to attack, damaging Mario, instead of eating him, costing a life. In [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]], a strange Cheep Cheep appears in a bonus area. It swims in a wavy line and trails six coins behind it.

Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Cheep-Cheeps have light pink lips in their artwork, though it is colored deep orange in-game. Cheep-Cheeps behave identically as before. One Cheep-Cheep in a bonus area of [[World 2-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]] has a different behavior of swimming in a wavy line as six [[coin]]s trail behind it. Besides a [[Big Cheep Cheep|larger version]], two varieties were introduced, [[Deep Cheep|Deep-Cheeps]] (also having a [[Big Deep Cheep|larger version]]) and [[Spike Bass]], both chasing the player character upon noticing him.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', acting the same way as they did in older games. They only appear in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], in the second and third missions. In the second mission, they appear on a small planet, half of which is covered in a thin layer of water, and bounce up and down around the planet. They can be defeated either with a [[spin]] or by [[jump]]ing on them. One appears underwater in the third mission, which can only be beaten with a spin or [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]]. They are also seen in the epilogue, jumping out of the water near [[Princess Peach's Castle]].

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is now possible for Cheep Cheeps to collide with one another, leading to situations where two may become stuck swimming against one another. Multiple Cheep Cheeps swimming in a certain direction can push individual Cheep Cheeps backward if they swim a certain direction. Besides the red type, there are also [[Deep Cheep]]s, the newly introduced [[Eep Cheep]]s, and [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s.
[[File:Cheep_red.png|left|frame]]
Cheep Cheeps also reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In this game, there are three colors of Cheep Cheep: red, [[Deep Cheep|green]], and [[Eep Cheep|golden]]. [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s also make an appearance.
 
The red Cheep Cheeps behave just like they did in the original ''New Super Mario Bros.''.
 
The golden colored Cheep Cheeps, [[Eep Cheep]]s, are always found in schools, called '''Cheep Cheep Schools'''{{ref needed}}. They will also swim away from players whenever they get close, the complete opposite of the Deep Cheep's behavior. The Eep Cheeps seem to resemble the [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|unused]] yellow Cheep Cheeps of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are first encountered om [[World 1-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-1]], and appear in underwater areas of other levels such as [[World 3-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|Worlds 3-2]] and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7-1]]. Cheep Cheeps can also jump out of water. A difference is that bouncing on a Cheep Cheep underwater bounces the player character up slightly without harming them. Cheep Cheeps can be flattened from a [[Ground Pound]] while underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be defeated by [[fireball]]s, tail whips, boomerang hits, and turning into [[Statue Mario]] above them.
Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as underwater enemies in some of the levels, including some of [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]]. They can also jump out of water. This time, stomping on a Cheep Cheep underwater won't harm Mario. Additionally, they can be flattened by using [[Ground Pound]] whilst underwater. They can also be defeated by [[fireballs]], tail whips, boomerang hits, and turning into [[Statue Mario]] above them. They first appear in World 1-1 where they will attempt to hit Mario by jumping out of the water.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they jump out of water trying to harm Mario or Luigi. After the Mario Brothers touch a [[Gold Ring]], Cheep Cheeps (among other enemies) will turn [[Gold Cheep Cheep|golden]]. In this state, they are followed by a row of five [[coin]]s. There are also some that swim in a circle similar to the [[Circling Boo Buddies]].

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They jump out of water trying to harm Mario or Luigi. Cheep Cheeps become [[Gold Cheep Cheep|golden]] while a [[Gold Ring]] is active, during which they are followed by a row of five [[coin]]s. Some Cheep Cheeps swim in a circle similarly to [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]]. Several Cheep Cheeps appear in the boss fight against [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], when she whistles them to attack.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They behave identically as before. Besides the returning Cheep Cheeps and Eep Cheeps, the game introduces the [[Mecha Cheep]] variety, which use propellers on their fins to move forward in underwater airship levels.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They are encountered in the first half of [[Pipeline Lagoon]] only. They behave identically as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The port's ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' mode has a regional variant with cat ears and tails that appear somewhat uncommonly throughout [[Lake Lapcat]], swimming around platforms lightly submerged in water. Besides their appearance, the cat variants are no different from regular Cheep Cheeps.

Cheep Cheeps are course parts in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be placed above or underwater. Cheep Cheeps function the same as before, except they do not flip around in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, Cheep Cheeps start out as their green variant (replacing the gray Cheep Cheeps from the original ''Super Mario Bros.'') and travel in a straight line endlessly, swimming while gently bobbing while underwater or hopping along the bottom of the screen in ground-based stages. They can be shaken to be turned into their red variant, which goes back and forth in a bobbing line if they are underwater or chases Mario if they are above water. Cheep Cheeps can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and given wings, the latter causing them to fly in the air after jumping out of the water or swim in a wavy pattern when underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be placed in [[Bill Blaster]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, and [[Block]]s. If placed in [[lava]] in the castle theme, Cheep Cheeps become engulfed in flames. Green Cheep Cheeps come out from pipes endlessly, though red ones emerge only three times until one is defeated. Collecting the [[Big Mushroom]] after scanning the 30th Anniversary Mario [[amiibo]] gives the Cheep Cheeps a mustache and ring-shaped lips similar to their modern design.
 
In the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, the green Cheep Cheeps appear as [[Blurp]]s and [[Deep Cheep]]s, respectively. Despite this, they are both named as Cheep Cheeps in the game, and use the basic Cheep Cheep behaviors rather than the latter's typical chasing.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char10.png|thumb|left|Mario, after capturing a Cheep Cheep]]
Cheep Cheeps (parsed as "'''CheepCheeps'''" on the promotional world map) appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are encountered in the [[Lake Kingdom]] and the [[Seaside Kingdom]]. Cheep Cheeps behave identically as in previous 3D entries of the ''Super Mario'' series, swimming back and forth in a predictable pattern. A difference from before is that Cheep Cheeps can be [[capture]]d by [[Mario]], allowing him to swim quicker and breathe underwater. A captured Cheep Cheep can perform a spin attack if the player shakes either the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] or [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Pro Controller|Pro Controller]]. Captured Cheep Cheeps produce a beam of light in the direction they are facing, like the shells in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. The volleyball in the [[Beach Volleyball (Super Mario Odyssey)|Beach Volleyball]] minigame in the [[Seaside Kingdom]] is designed after a Cheep Cheep. Mario can obtain the Lake Kingdom [[Power Moon]] [[List of Power Moons in the Lake Kingdom#I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep!|I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep!]] by capturing a Cheep Cheep and bringing it to a [[Lochlady]].
 
[[File:SMO Snow Cheep Cheep Artwork.png|thumb|100px|A snow Cheep Cheep]]
A purple Cheep Cheep variety appears in the [[Snow Kingdom]]. It is referred to as '''Cheep Cheep (Snow Kingdom)''' by the Capture List. Besides the coloring, the only difference between the two is that the Snow Kingdom variants are said to be resistant to the [[freezing water|extremely cold temperatures in the water]], though ordinary Cheep Cheeps can be fished up in a small pond on the southeast corner of the map. There is a [[Bonneter biologist]] who wants to know how they can survive in the freezing water, and he will give Mario the [[List of Power Moons in the Snow Kingdom#I Met a Snow Cheep Cheep!|I Met a Snow Cheep Cheep!]] Power Moon for bringing him one, stating that their round body shape and mouth help them survive in the freezing water.
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2 Cheep Cheep SM3DW icon.png|thumb|100px|A green Cheep Cheep in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style]]
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They retain their behavior in its predecessor. Both the green and red types appear in the added ''Super Mario 3D World'' game style. In the Course Maker, Cheep Cheeps belong in the enemy category and can be given a parachute. Cheep Cheeps placed in [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] in the Night mode of forest theme become engulfed in it, protecting them from stomp attacks. They also swim in the air during airship and sky courses set at night. Cheep Cheeps are no longer affected if Mario collects a [[Big Mushroom]].
 
Once again, Blurps and Deep Cheeps are used in their respective styles, but still called Cheep Cheeps.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They behave exactly like in past titles. Jumping Cheep Cheeps also appear, as well as the Eep Cheeps. There is also a new type of Cheep Cheep, known as the [[Mecha Cheep]], that appears in underwater airships. They seem to be mechanical, and they use propellers on their fins to move forward.
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Underwater, they can additionally be defeated if stomped, unlike previous appearances. Cheep Cheeps sometimes appear out of water like in ''Super Mario World'', but damage the player character when touched from the sides or bottom.

Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', but only in the first half of [[Pipeline Lagoon]].
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', several Cheep-cheeps appear flying out of [[Mario]]'s television when he is playing [[Family Computer]] at the beginning of the film. Later, [[Big Cheep Cheep|mega-sized Cheep-cheep]]s make an appearance, shown ballooning and bursting into many smaller versions of themselves.
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:Cheecheep.png|thumb|left|100px]]
Like in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', regular Cheep Cheeps do not appear in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Spiny Cheep Cheeps, however, appear in the episode [[The Venice Menace]] as the [[Doom Sub]] enters the [[Warp Pipe]] to [[Venice]]. They share the same coloration as a regular Cheep Cheep, likely as a combination of the enemies.

[[File:SMWMAYALQuestion.png|200px|thumb|A Cheep Cheep in a question in ''Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land'']]
Cheep Cheeps will appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', in a yet unclear underwater area. Here, they can be [[capture]]d by [[Mario]], during which they gain his hat, eyes, and mustache, and allow him to swim more quickly. Other than that, Cheep Cheeps seem to behave in the same way they usually do in their 3D appearances, swimming back and forth in a predictable pattern.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQHQc_3ycE</ref>
In ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', a Cheep Cheep is one of the incorrect choices in a question. It does not appear anywhere else in the video. It appears golden-yellow similar to their in-game appearance from ''Super Mario World'' instead of red.
 
===''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]''===
As Luigi and Toad are exploring Water Land in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', some Cheep Cheeps jump from the water to try to attack them, but most are avoided; some of the fish also appear three weeks later among the crowds at the International Mushroom Games. This book also describes Cheep Cheeps as having crab-like claws when one pinches [[Toad]]. In ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] will sic some Cheep Cheeps on the Mario Bros. if they attempt to attack him directly during one portion of the book, and some will attack Mario along with some other monsters if he pulls the wrong knob on Ludwig's giant pipe organ.


===Nintendo Adventure Books===
If Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the [[Mushroom King]] are run down by a group of [[Dino Rhino]]s in ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', they will lose their tickets to the International Dino-Flying Derby, which will end up being blown into a tree inhabited by Cheep Cheeps by a gust of wind. If Mario is chosen to get the tickets back, he will succeed, stomping the irritated Cheep Cheep he takes them from. If Luigi tries to get the tickets instead, a Cheep Cheep will bite him and cause him to fall out of the tree and into a patch of [[Muncher]]s, causing a [[Game Over]].

Cheep Cheeps are fairly common obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. They also have a few courses named after them. In the first game, ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', in [[Koopa Beach 1]] and [[Koopa Beach 2]], they are are obstacles that spins out the player if the player collides with one. A Cheep Cheep balloon holds the trophy during the award ceremony, which reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. A giant Cheep Cheep appears in [[Banshee Boardwalk]] in ''Mario Kart 64'', though it is not an obstacle. In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. There is a course named [[Cheep-Cheep Island]]. Larger Cheep Cheeps can be seen jumping in the background here. The Cheep Cheeps in Koopa Beach 1 and Koopa Beach 2, however, are absent. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Cheep Cheeps again have a course named after them, called [[Cheep Cheep Beach]]. Koopa Beach 2 additionally returns, and the Cheep Cheeps reappear as hazards. Banshee Boardwalk also returns, but the giant Cheep Cheep is replaced with a [[Boss Bass]]. In [[Mario Kart DS#Mission|mission]] 1-4, [[Wario]] must defeat five Cheep Cheeps with a [[Star]].

'''Flopping Cheep Cheeps'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Kart'' instruction booklet|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=28}}</ref> are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They are encountered in [[Koopa Beach 1]] and [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2|Koopa Beach 2]]. Flopping Cheep Cheeps spin out the player on contact. They resemble their flopping sprite and coloration from ''Super Mario World''. A balloon-like [[Big Cheep Cheep|giant Cheep Cheep]] holds the trophy during the award ceremony.
 
====''Mario Kart 64''====
A Cheep-Cheep appears in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' with the same role in the awards ceremony as the giant one in ''Super Mario Kart''. Another giant Cheep-Cheep is seen in [[N64 Banshee Boardwalk|Banshee Boardwalk]].
 
====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Cheep-Cheeps are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. They take on their design from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Cheep-Cheeps do not appear in the returning courses Koopa Beach 1 and Koopa Beach 2, but one does leap over the winner stands during the awards ceremony, similarly as in previous entries of the ''Mario Kart'' series.
 
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
A Cheep Cheep makes a background appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is depicted with its design from ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. The [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] may pull either a Cheep Cheep or a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]] up instead of a stoplight.


Cheep Cheeps make minor appearances in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. In [[Koopa Cape]], when the player enters the underwater tunnel, Cheep Cheeps are seen in the background. Also, the [[Cheep Charger]] is a [[Kart]] that resembles Cheep Cheeps for light-weighted characters. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Cheep Cheeps once again appear on the returning course Koopa Cape. They are minor obstacles in [[Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] and [[Daisy Cruiser (course)|Daisy Cruiser]], which can push players, but generally swim above them.

Cheep Cheeps<ref><tt>MRA_puku.dat</tt>, internal file name</ref> are background characters in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. They resemble their design from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Cheep Cheeps can be seen leaping over a specific corner of the track at [[Mario Beach]], not accessible from [[Mario Highway]], but they cannot hit racers.


In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', a few Cheep Cheeps appear in the underwater section of one of the courses.
====''Mario Kart DS''====
Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. They are encountered in their namesake course, [[DS Cheep Cheep Beach|Cheep Cheep Beach]], and the returning {{classic-link|SNES|Koopa Beach 2}}. The giant Cheep Cheep in the returning {{classic-link|N64|Banshee Boardwalk}} is replaced with a [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]].


Cheep Cheeps return in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', in the retro track [[Cheep Cheep Beach|<small>DS</small> Cheep Cheep Beach]] and again serve as obstacles. Additionally, two golden Cheep Cheep statues  are above the start/finish line in [[Dragon Driftway]].
====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Cheep Cheeps are referenced in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The [[Cheep Charger]] is a light-weight [[kart]] resembling Cheep Cheeps, and there are [[blimp]]s of them in [[Luigi Circuit]].

Cheep Cheeps are background characters in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]''. They appear in a few places in [[Tropical Coast]], where they leap close to the starting line and flop on the sidelines occasionally. A few Cheep Cheeps also swim from later parts of the underwater tunnel.
[[File:SMW2 YI Cheep Cheep.png|thumb|150px|Artwork of a '''Flopsy Fish''' from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.]]
Cheep Cheeps appear in several [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' games]], though they are named '''Flopsy Fish'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|Page 126]].</ref> in the English versions. They make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (pictured at right) and reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' (as a character, paired with a [[Lunge Fish]]), ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They are a bit bigger than in most games and either jump out of water or just swim around, and a more aggressive version repeatedly jumps out of the water with its mouth open. They can't be turned into [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s if [[Yoshi]] eats them. The level "[[Lake Shore Paradise]]" has one of them as a map screen icon. In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', a blue, spiky version similar to a [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]] appears that has not been seen since. In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they more closely resemble ''Mario'' series Cheep Cheeps.


More traditional Cheep Cheeps are found in the ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''<ref>[http://www.hit-japan.com/book7/P1390694.JPG Scan of 「ヨッシーストーリーパーフェクトブック」 (''Yoshi's Story Perfect Book'').] Retrieved July 26, 2015.</ref><ref>''Yoshi's Story'' [[Nintendo Power#Player's Guides|Player's Guide]], pg. 10</ref> and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. In the former, they are found in the seas in stages 5-1: [[Lots O'Jelly Fish]] and 5-2: [[Lots O'Fish]]. Some swim back and forth in one small area, while others swim continuously forward in a more-or-less straight line. Two giant versions from the "[[Blurp (Yoshi's Story)|Blurp]]" family also make their debut. In the latter, they appear with a knitted appearance as they are made out of yarn.
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are encountered in the returning {{classic-link|DS|Cheep Cheep Beach}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}. The ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' adds Cheep Cheeps in {{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}} and [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. There are two golden Cheep Cheep statues above the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] in [[Dragon Driftway]].

They are encountered in [[Amsterdam Drift|Amsterdam Drift 2R/T]], [[SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2]], [[GBA Cheep-Cheep Island]], [[Wii Koopa Cape]], [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon]], and [[RMX Donut Plains 1]]. Cheep Cheeps swim around in circles or on a path between two separate points, while those above water either continuously jump on the ground or leap in front of drivers from the water. Big Cheep Cheeps also appear as background elements in GBA Cheep-Cheep Island. When bumped into, Cheep Cheeps simply bounce a driver back. They can be taken out by hitting them with an item or by simply driving into them, giving points in the process.
 
The game also features several vehicle parts based on Cheep Cheeps: the [[Cheep Charger]] returns from ''Mario Kart Wii'', while several parts such as the [[Cheep Snorkel]] and [[Cheep Cheep Masks]] debut. A [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] based on a Cheep Cheep also appears as of the [[Ocean Tour]], having the [[Bubble]] as its [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]].

[[File:SMA3-FlopsyFish.png|frame]]
Flopsy Fish are colored red (green in their artwork) and have wider mouths and smaller, closer together eyes than most depictions, and also have yellow pectoral fins. They typically attack by swimming around atop the surface of water, with some occasionally leaping straight up into the air, or in an arc while holding their toothy mouths open. Yet another variety endlessly jumps in an arc without ever swimming back and forth. They cannot be turned into [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s if eaten. A Flopsy Fish also appears as the map icon for the level "[[Lake Shore Paradise]]," which features Flopsy Fish of all behaviors.

Piscatory Petes are slightly smaller and resemble the Cheep Cheep design of ''Super Mario World'', along with the Blurps of the same game. There are two varieties: a blue type that swims forward, occasionally pausing, and a yellow one that quickly follows Yoshi in straight lines, only changing direction when it pauses or hits a wall. The lips of Piscatory Pete are exactly the same as the ones on [[Loch Nestor]]. A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can defeat them in its [[Submarine Yoshi|Submarine]] form with a single torpedo.

Underwater Cheep Cheeps also act the same as before, but cannot be destroyed by torpedoes, since the submarine cannot shoot them. They appear automatically in the [[Island Museum]] after the first time they are encountered. Cheep-Chomps (known as Boss Bass) also return, having a boss version known as [[Bessie Bass]].
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are designed similarly to their other appearances around the time, but still have slightly wider mouths.

In the English version of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Cheep Cheeps appear under the name '''Goby'''. They are actually Cheep Cheeps, as they share the same Japanese name (''Pukupuku''). Gobies dwell underwater in [[Kero Sewers]]. They roam the waterways, battling intruders who invade their territory. In battle, a Goby will lower its head and ram into its enemy. Gobies have no special attacks, and they are weak against lightning-based magic attacks.

[[File:CheepCheepShot-MP9.png|thumb|left|The boss of [[Cheep Cheep Shot]].]]
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', a giant Cheep Cheep is one of the bosses that appear in the game. It is the mini-boss of [[Blooper Beach]]. The Cheep Cheep is faced in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Shot]], in which the players must attack the Cheep Cheep by tossing shells at it while avoiding its attacks, which are charging directly at a player, or by diving at the players from the air.
Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]]. They appear only in three stages: Briny Bowl Swimming Hole, Floaty Fun Water Park, and Goomba Galleon. If a Cheep Cheep within a group is stunned with the pointer or touch screen, the other Cheep Cheeps of the group stop moving. Cheep Cheeps swim back and forth on the ocean floor. They can be defeated either from being landed on, an [[Invincibility Mushroom]], or using the 2 Player Co-op mode functionality on Nintendo Switch.


Cheep Cheeps also make minor appearances in the game. In the minigame [[Pianta Pool]], Cheep Cheeps appear to leap through the rings the players grab. Three leap through a pink ring, while five leap through the golden ring. Additionally, in the minigame [[Pier Pressure]], players attempt to grab the lines that have Cheep Cheeps on the end. Players are allowed to continue competing as long as they fish up a Cheep Cheep. A Cheep Cheep is also on one of the puzzles to be solved in the minigame [[Jigsaw Jumble]]. Additionally, [[Deep Cheep]]s from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' can be seen jumping over the water in Blooper Beach.
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:YWW Cheep Cheep.jpg|thumb|upright=0.6|A Cheep Cheep from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are depicted with a knitted appearance befitting the game's aesthetic. Their eyes are thinner and closer together than normal once again, and their mouths are as wide as they were in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They appear during [[Mermaid Yoshi]] segments, and can swim in a variety of ways, including straight forwards and circling, akin to [[Circling Boo Buddies]]. If a Cheep Cheep is eaten by Yoshi in this game, it'll turn into a red [[yarn ball]].


Cheep Cheeps return in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' where they appear as tiles in [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]].
===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
====''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''====
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', a picture of a Cheep Cheep can be seen on a box featuring a [[Rabbid]] capturing a [[Blooper]] in a net at the beginning of the level [[Call of Sherbet Mountain]].


Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in various minigames that usually portray them in large shoals. In the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Leap]], many of them, together with [[Gold Cheep Cheep]]s and [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s, must be hit by the then-[[Invincible Mario|invincible]] players for points. Also, in the minigame [[Meanie Match]], a Cheep Cheep stands along many enemies that are present on the circular arrangement of pictures. Cheep Cheeps represent the main feature of [[Cheep Cheep Check]], a minigame where three players try to count the number of Cheep Cheeps in an aquarium while the single player moves the Cheep Cheeps and triggers [[Clampy|Clampies]] to spray bubbles at them, in order to confuse the other three players. Aside from these, in [[Cheep Chomp]]'s boss battle, some Cheep Cheep sentries swim around Cheep Chomp in his maddened phase; they help deflect Koopa Shells shot by the characters.
====''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''====
In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', while [[DJ Cheep Tuna]] plays his DJ after it is cleared of Darkmess, lots of Cheep Cheeps jump out of the water in tune to the music.


===''Super Princess Peach''===
===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they act similar to the Flopsy Fish in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They can be defeated simply by jumping on them. A sub-species under the spell of the [[Vibe Scepter]] are the [[Sad Cheep Cheep]]s.
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They are encountered in [[Bombs Away on Pirate Island]], [[Slip-Slide Isle]], and [[Ride the River]]. Both Bombs Away on Pirate Island and [[Skulking Around]] include crafts of Cheep Cheeps, five in each level; in the former level, the crafts are cardboard signs of Cheep Cheeps, while in Skulking Around the crafts are crude paintings in golden frames found on the flip side. Cheep Cheeps attack the player character by jumping out of the water.


===''Mario Super Sluggers''===
===''Dr. Mario World''===
They also appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' at [[Daisy Cruiser]], jumping around on the deck at night. [[Gooper Blooper]] appears with the Cheep Cheeps.
[[File:DMW-CheepCheep.png|100px|thumb|left]]
Cheep Cheeps are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, they grant a chance that one [[virus]] is eliminated when starting a stage, but will not completely eliminate a virus that requires multiple hits to be eliminate such as [[floatie virus]]es or [[bubble]]s containing viruses. In versus mode, they make the player's attack meter fill faster by a certain percentage, rounding down the attack meter's value to the nearest round number after the percentage is applied.
{{br}}


===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Cheep Cheeps appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' as rare enemies, only found in one stage, where they swim back and forth on the ocean floor. There are no methods of defeating them in this stage, due to a lack of weapons for Captain Toad.
In the {{file link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a purple [[Toad (species)|Toad]] can be seen carrying a plastic fish bag containing a Cheep Cheep. A design of one also appears on the sign of the storefront behind the Toad. A bagged Cheep Cheep also appears in the film itself, where it glares at Mario when he and [[Toad]] are walking through the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s town, though it is instead carried by a yellow Toad. In another scene, Mario, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and Toad are seen crossing a bridge with Cheep Cheeps leaping over it, where one latches onto Mario's face; in the official trailer, Peach pulls it off and accidentally causes it to latch onto Toad's face instead. They are also far more detailed, with scales and more realistic tails.


====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Cheep Cheeps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as enemies, and can be placed above or underwater. They function the same as previous games, except for not flipping around in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' game style when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, they start out as [[Deep Cheep|their green variant]], go in a straight line and never stop, while they can be shaken to be turned into their red variant which goes back and forth in a straight line if they are underwater, or chase Mario if they are above water. They can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and given wings, which the latter makes them fly in the air after they jump out of water or swim in a wave pattern when underwater. They can be placed in [[Bill Blasters]], [[Warp Pipes]], and [[Blocks]]. If placed in [[lava]] in the castle theme, Cheep Cheeps become engulfed in flames while retaining their attack pattern, only now being immune to normal stomps and [[fireball]]s.

They can be found in water in sidescrolling areas, usually swimming back-and-forth, though in some areas they jump straight upwards.
[[File:Cheep-Cheep (AR Fishing).JPG|thumb|right|200px|A Cheep Cheep in the AR Fishing game.]]
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] application [[AR Games]], Cheep Cheeps can be caught in the Fishing minigame if the [[Question Block]] AR Card is placed on a red surface.
 
====Other====
[[File:MariocameoLEGOCU.png|thumb|A Cheep Cheep in ''[[wikipedia:Lego City Undercover|Lego City Undercover]]''.]]
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', [[Trouter]]s (a different kind of fish from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'') appear and behave more like Cheep Cheeps, as they jump out of water and actively pursue the heroes, and are likely a combination of the two enemies.
 
In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', in the microgame [[Clawing for More]], Cheep Cheeps from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' are among the random sprites that can be released from the ball after it is broken open.


Cheep Cheeps, along with [[Lava Bubble]]s, [[Goomba]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, [[Pokey]]s, [[Thwimp]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s all appear in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''. ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' has Thwimps and Pokeys, and shares Thwomps, Podoboos and Cheep Cheeps along with its sister game, ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle: of Ages]]''.
In the {{iw|zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch version}}, Cheep Cheeps appear dark brown and can be caught in the {{iw|zeldawiki|Fishing Hole}}, and a figure of one can be won in the {{iw|zeldawiki|Trendy Game}} after clearing the {{iw|zeldawiki|Angler's Tunnel}} and placed in {{iw|zeldawiki:Old Man Ulrira|Ulrira}}'s house. The text that appears upon acquiring the figure reads, "''You got a Cheep Cheep figure! Disclaimer: cannot actually fly.''"


Cheep Cheeps also make a cameo in ''[[wikipedia:Lego City Undercover|Lego City Undercover]]'', in which they appear if the player goes fishing when not required.
=====''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages''=====
[[File:Angler Fish OoA sprite.png|frame]]
Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons}}'' and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages}}''. They appear as they do in ''Link's Awakening''. ''Oracle of Ages'' also has a miniboss named {{iw|zeldawiki|Angler Fish}}, which resembles a large Cheep Cheep and is encountered in the same segment as Cheep Cheeps in {{iw|zeldawiki|Jabu-Jabu's Belly}}.


In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft: Wii U Edition]]'', Raw Salmon is replaced by Cheep Cheeps.
=====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''=====
Cheep Cheeps are enemies in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures}}''. They are encountered swimming in sidescrolling areas. [[Big Cheep Cheep]]s also appear, and charge forward if they see a Link.

==General information==
====AR Games====
===Language===
[[File:AR Fishing Cheep Cheep.jpg|thumb|200px|A Cheep Cheep in the AR Fishing game]]
According to ''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door'', Cheep Cheeps have their own language, which is also called "Cheep Cheep". This language is presumably spoken only by Cheep Cheeps and it is only partly heard through the character [[Chef Shimi]] (who often mixes words, such as "saved" and "shaved", up due to his unique language knowledge). However, in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the letter [[List of Implied Characters#Sashimie|Sashimie]] wrote to [[Sushie]] is written in Mario's language.
Cheep Cheeps appear in the Fishing mode of [[AR Games]] as a possible species to catch if the [[? Block]] AR Card is placed on a red surface.


===Gender===
====''Lego City Undercover''====
In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' instruction booklet, Cheep Cheeps are explicitly referred to as female. This makes them the first generic ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' enemy to be entirely female. However, this has changed since the ''Paper Mario'' series, in which both male and female members of the Cheep Cheep species have appeared. The Cheep Cheep boss of ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' is also referred to as male in the minigame description.
[[File:MariocameoLEGOCU.png|thumb|left|A Cheep Cheep in ''Lego City Undercover'']]
Cheep Cheeps cameo in the Wii U and Nintendo Switch versions of ''{{iw|nwiki|Lego City Undercover}}''. They may appear if the player goes fishing, and also appear in the aquarium under Crescent Park.

Cheep Cheeps alongside [[Blooper]]s, [[Eep Cheep]]s, and [[Cheep Chomp]]s were among the fish that could be caught in the Fishing Tourney #12 for ''{{iw|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp}}'' on March 14, 2019, as part of the ''Super Mario'' crossover event for [[Mario Day]]. A Cheep Cheep balloon attached to a [[Brick Block]] could also be obtained as special furniture after reaching the 300, 400, 500, or 650 cm milestone.

==Trivia==
*According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], Cheep Cheep was originally going to be named「テッチリ」(''Tecchiri''), after a fugu hot pot dish.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|url=www.famitsu.com/game/extra/special/2000/zelda/zelda04.html|title=Part 4 of an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto|publisher=Famitsu|accessdate=December 7, 2020}}</ref>
*According to the UK ''Nintendo Magazine'', Shigeru Miyamoto's inspiration for the Cheep Cheeps comes from a bony, grotesque little fish with snapping jaws that he caught as a child.<ref>{{cite|title=''Official UK Nintendo Magazine'' Issue #57|date=June 1997|page=93|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb|quote='''FRIGHTENING FISH''' From Super Mario Bros to Super Mario 64, Mario has been menaced by a variety of ferocious fish who try to lure our hero to a watery grave. Again, while living in Sonebe as a child, young Miyamoto caught a bony, grotesque little fish with snapping jaws. Every fish in Mario’s games is inspired by this tiny monster.}}</ref>

Cheep Cheeps (sometimes formatted as Cheep-Cheeps or Cheep-cheeps) are pufferfish-like creatures[1] that made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the Super Mario franchise. They are found mostly in water, but often jump out of it as well. There are many different species of Cheep Cheeps, and they come in different colors, including orange, yellow, green, light-blue, blue, indigo, purple, magenta, black, gray, and brown. The most common ones, however, are red with a white patch on their stomach, a yellow (originally white in some artwork) tail fin, a mohawk-like dorsal fin and wing-like fins. They also have blue eyes and pink lips. Cheep Cheeps may attack above the surface of the water by jumping out in an arc. Given this, Cheep Cheeps seem to be inspired by flying fish, hence their wing-like fins, which behave similarly. Many Cheep Cheeps appear to be among Bowser's Minions, though some, such as the ones seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, are not. In many games, Cheep Cheeps possess a variety of attacks, typically involving jumping behavior.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels[edit]

Cheep-cheeps appear in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. They are encountered in every underwater level, first appearing in World 2-2 in Super Mario Bros., and swim towards the player character in either a straight line or a wavy pattern. There are red Cheep-cheeps that move moderately fast and gray Cheep-cheeps, which move slower. A single green one is located off-screen in World 2-3 of Super Mario Bros.[2] The gray ones are recolored green in Super Mario All-Stars, a holdover from the "orange and gray" palette used underwater in the original occupying the same hardware space as the "orange and green" palette used for overworld graphics, as demonstrated by World 9 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. A Cheep-cheep can be defeated from either a fireball or if Mario is invincible. The red Cheep-cheeps of World 2-3 and World 7-3 in Super Mario Bros. leap from the bottom of the screen,[3] and can be defeated from being stomped. Since no more than three enemies can appear onscreen once due to hardware limitations,[citation needed] only three Cheep Cheeps are ever allowed onscreen at a time.

A few green Cheep-cheeps take on the identity of a fake Bowser, including the one at the end of World B-4 in the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and the fake Bowser at the end of World 1-4 in the You VS. Boo mode of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.

In the English instruction booklet only, Cheep-cheeps is referred to by female pronouns.[4]

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Green Cheep Cheep

Cheep-Cheeps appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are featured in red and green variants; between them, only the latter appears in any underwater-themed levels, though they are more common in shallow pools elsewhere. The green type appears cyan in fortresses in the original version. Red Cheep-Cheeps usually swim before leaping from the water in order to hit Mario, though some bounce along the surface constantly and make a large leap once they approach Mario. Other Cheep-Cheeps jump between small portions of water, and cannot be seen underwater. Some Cheep-Cheeps leap from the bottom of the screen at random, like in Super Mario Bros., though sometimes over lava. Golden-yellow Cheep-Cheeps capable of moving faster than even green Cheep-Cheeps and appearing in trios moving in a wavy pattern were planned to appear but went unused.[5] Besides Cheep-cheeps, several variants were introduced, including Baby Cheeps; their parent, Big Bertha; Boss Bass, and Spiny Cheep-Cheeps (referred to as "Cheep-cheeps" in localized manuals).[6] Though both are red, Big Bertha and Boss Bass behave as enlarged versions of the green and red Cheep Cheeps, respectively.

Besides the unused golden yellow Cheep-Cheeps, Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 was also going to feature the beached Cheep Cheeps of Super Mario World in its extra levels,[7] but they were removed. Unlike in Super Mario World, they hurt Mario if he runs into them.

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Cheep Cheep
Cheep Cheep, on land

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario World and its reissue. They are slow-moving fish that swimming back and forth underwater, though some levels of the Forest of Illusion show them in floating bubbles over land. Cheep Cheeps that flip around on land can be defeated instantly if touched. Cheep Cheeps can also be defeated with a Cape, Yoshi, or fireballs. Certain levels have underwater Cheep Cheeps that can leap up vertically every so often, such as in Awesome, where they leap from the bottom of the screen endlessly, though the relevant artworkMedia:Special World.jpg depicts the related Blurp instead. Cheep Cheeps are depicted in one color only, using the game's yellow palette, with the behavior of swimming forward endlessly being given to Blurps instead. Cheep Cheeps that are underwater are depicted with anal fins, but not on land. Unlike most enemies, Cheep Cheeps do not appear in the ending's cast roll.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[edit]

Cheep-Cheeps appear in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are depicted after their appearance in Super Mario World. Cheep-Cheeps encountered in the Macro Zone and Turtle Zone. Cheep-Cheeps can swim either horizontally or vertically. Cheep-Cheeps can be defeated from either a shell, a fireball, or if touched by Invincible Mario. Blurps also appear, and the game introduces a pufferfish version of Spiny Cheep-Cheeps.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Bubs[8] appear in Super Mario 64. They are only encountered in Dire, Dire Docks. Bubs are colored orange, have visible scales, red fins and tail, and wear large goggles, making them resemble Blurps more closely than Cheep Cheeps. Bubs typically swim around through the water aimlessly and can sometimes approach the player character. A Bub takes away health from the player character on contact. They cannot be defeated. The Player's Guide describes a Bub as "one cool koi." In Super Mario 64 DS, Bubs are designed after Cheep Cheeps as depicted in artwork from Super Mario Bros., a design retained in most games, and one of their behavioral differences is no longer swimming higher or lower from their starting position.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Cheep-Cheeps appear in Super Mario Sunshine. There is a scarlet variety encountered in Ricco Harbor, Noki Bay, and sometimes during the King Boo fight in Sirena Beach; a fiery, dark-purple variant inhabiting the lava of Corona Mountain; and Tobi Fish,[9] or Toki Fish,[10]) a magenta variety encountered in Gelato Beach, Noki Bay and Delfino Airstrip. The BradyGames guide refers to both the scarlet and magenta varieties as Tobi Fish.[11] The scarlet and charred varieties leap at varying heights, and are defeated from either being stomped or sprayed with water from FLUDD. Cheep-Cheeps temporarily become platorms if sprayed with juice from Yoshi. Two Cheep-Cheeps are sometimes spit out by King Boo during his battle if the slot machine lands on three question marks, though the Cheep-Cheeps flop about upside down. The magenta variety is invulnerable and pursues Mario actively, dragging him down into the water if he is caught in their mouth; they have wider lips like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, blue fins on their tails and back, blue spots on their undersides, and a slightly flatter body shape.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Cheep-Cheep

Cheep-Cheeps appear in New Super Mario Bros.. Cheep-Cheeps have light pink lips in their artwork, though it is colored deep orange in-game. Cheep-Cheeps behave identically as before. One Cheep-Cheep in a bonus area of World 2-4 has a different behavior of swimming in a wavy line as six coins trail behind it. Besides a larger version, two varieties were introduced, Deep-Cheeps (also having a larger version) and Spike Bass, both chasing the player character upon noticing him.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Artwork from Super Mario Galaxy

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They are encountered in Deep Dark Galaxy. In the second mission, they appear on a small planet, half of which is covered in a thin layer of water, and bounce up and down around the planet while flipping. They can be defeated either with a spin or by jumping on them. One appears underwater in the third mission, which can only be beaten with a spin or Koopa Shell. In the epilogue, Cheep Cheeps jump out of the water near Peach's Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is now possible for Cheep Cheeps to collide with one another, leading to situations where two may become stuck swimming against one another. Multiple Cheep Cheeps swimming in a certain direction can push individual Cheep Cheeps backward if they swim a certain direction. Besides the red type, there are also Deep Cheeps, the newly introduced Eep Cheeps, and Spiny Cheep Cheeps.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are encountered in Cosmic Cove Galaxy, Starshine Beach Galaxy, and other water-themed galaxies, being a lot more common than in Super Mario Galaxy. A few swim in vertical loops in a side-scrolling portion of Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet as well. Cheep Cheeps now appear swimming near the surface and can be defeated by a spin, jump, or by Yoshi's tongue. They do not hop on land like before. Cheep Cheeps cannot be stunned with a Star Bit.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They are first encountered om World 1-1, and appear in underwater areas of other levels such as Worlds 3-2 and World 7-1. Cheep Cheeps can also jump out of water. A difference is that bouncing on a Cheep Cheep underwater bounces the player character up slightly without harming them. Cheep Cheeps can be flattened from a Ground Pound while underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be defeated by fireballs, tail whips, boomerang hits, and turning into Statue Mario above them.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Cheep-Cheep

Cheep Cheeps appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They jump out of water trying to harm Mario or Luigi. Cheep Cheeps become golden while a Gold Ring is active, during which they are followed by a row of five coins. Some Cheep Cheeps swim in a circle similarly to Circling Boo Buddies. Several Cheep Cheeps appear in the boss fight against Wendy O. Koopa, when she whistles them to attack.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Jumping Cheep Cheeps in New Super Mario Bros. U

Cheep Cheeps appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their port. They behave identically as before. Besides the returning Cheep Cheeps and Eep Cheeps, the game introduces the Mecha Cheep variety, which use propellers on their fins to move forward in underwater airship levels.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Cheep Cheeps in Pipeline Lagoon
Cheep Cheeps in Super Mario 3D World

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario 3D World and its port. They are encountered in the first half of Pipeline Lagoon only. They behave identically as in Super Mario 3D Land. The port's Bowser's Fury mode has a regional variant with cat ears and tails that appear somewhat uncommonly throughout Lake Lapcat, swimming around platforms lightly submerged in water. Besides their appearance, the cat variants are no different from regular Cheep Cheeps.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

A green Cheep Cheep, under the effect of the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo, in Super Mario Maker.

Cheep Cheeps are course parts in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. They can be placed above or underwater. Cheep Cheeps function the same as before, except they do not flip around in the New Super Mario Bros. U game style when the vocals occur. In the Course Maker, Cheep Cheeps start out as their green variant (replacing the gray Cheep Cheeps from the original Super Mario Bros.) and travel in a straight line endlessly, swimming while gently bobbing while underwater or hopping along the bottom of the screen in ground-based stages. They can be shaken to be turned into their red variant, which goes back and forth in a bobbing line if they are underwater or chases Mario if they are above water. Cheep Cheeps can be enlarged by a Super Mushroom and given wings, the latter causing them to fly in the air after jumping out of the water or swim in a wavy pattern when underwater. Cheep Cheeps can be placed in Bill Blasters, Warp Pipes, and Blocks. If placed in lava in the castle theme, Cheep Cheeps become engulfed in flames. Green Cheep Cheeps come out from pipes endlessly, though red ones emerge only three times until one is defeated. Collecting the Big Mushroom after scanning the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo gives the Cheep Cheeps a mustache and ring-shaped lips similar to their modern design.

In the Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U styles, the green Cheep Cheeps appear as Blurps and Deep Cheeps, respectively. Despite this, they are both named as Cheep Cheeps in the game, and use the basic Cheep Cheep behaviors rather than the latter's typical chasing.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey artwork
Mario, after capturing a Cheep Cheep

Cheep Cheeps (parsed as "CheepCheeps" on the promotional world map) appear in Super Mario Odyssey. They are encountered in the Lake Kingdom and the Seaside Kingdom. Cheep Cheeps behave identically as in previous 3D entries of the Super Mario series, swimming back and forth in a predictable pattern. A difference from before is that Cheep Cheeps can be captured by Mario, allowing him to swim quicker and breathe underwater. A captured Cheep Cheep can perform a spin attack if the player shakes either the Joy-Con or Pro Controller. Captured Cheep Cheeps produce a beam of light in the direction they are facing, like the shells in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The volleyball in the Beach Volleyball minigame in the Seaside Kingdom is designed after a Cheep Cheep. Mario can obtain the Lake Kingdom Power Moon I Met a Lake Cheep Cheep! by capturing a Cheep Cheep and bringing it to a Lochlady.

A Snow Cheep Cheep in Super Mario Odyssey
A snow Cheep Cheep

A purple Cheep Cheep variety appears in the Snow Kingdom. It is referred to as Cheep Cheep (Snow Kingdom) by the Capture List. Besides the coloring, the only difference between the two is that the Snow Kingdom variants are said to be resistant to the extremely cold temperatures in the water, though ordinary Cheep Cheeps can be fished up in a small pond on the southeast corner of the map. There is a Bonneter biologist who wants to know how they can survive in the freezing water, and he will give Mario the I Met a Snow Cheep Cheep! Power Moon for bringing him one, stating that their round body shape and mouth help them survive in the freezing water.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

A green Cheep Cheep in the Super Mario 3D World style

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario Maker 2. They retain their behavior in its predecessor. Both the green and red types appear in the added Super Mario 3D World game style. In the Course Maker, Cheep Cheeps belong in the enemy category and can be given a parachute. Cheep Cheeps placed in poison in the Night mode of forest theme become engulfed in it, protecting them from stomp attacks. They also swim in the air during airship and sky courses set at night. Cheep Cheeps are no longer affected if Mario collects a Big Mushroom.

Once again, Blurps and Deep Cheeps are used in their respective styles, but still called Cheep Cheeps.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Underwater, they can additionally be defeated if stomped, unlike previous appearances. Cheep Cheeps sometimes appear out of water like in Super Mario World, but damage the player character when touched from the sides or bottom.

Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]

In Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!, several Cheep-cheeps appear flying out of Mario's television when he is playing Family Computer at the beginning of the film. Later, mega-sized Cheep-cheeps make an appearance, shown ballooning and bursting into many smaller versions of themselves.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Cheecheep.png

Like in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, regular Cheep Cheeps do not appear in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Spiny Cheep Cheeps, however, appear in the episode The Venice Menace as the Doom Sub enters the Warp Pipe to Venice. They share the same coloration as a regular Cheep Cheep, likely as a combination of the enemies.

Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land[edit]

A question for the viewer in Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land.
A Cheep Cheep in a question in Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land

In Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land, a Cheep Cheep is one of the incorrect choices in a question. It does not appear anywhere else in the video. It appears golden-yellow similar to their in-game appearance from Super Mario World instead of red.

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

As Luigi and Toad are exploring Water Land in Leaping Lizards, some Cheep Cheeps jump from the water to try to attack them, but most are avoided; some of the fish also appear three weeks later among the crowds at the International Mushroom Games. This book also describes Cheep Cheeps as having crab-like claws when one pinches Toad. In Pipe Down!, Ludwig von Koopa will sic some Cheep Cheeps on the Mario Bros. if they attempt to attack him directly during one portion of the book, and some will attack Mario along with some other monsters if he pulls the wrong knob on Ludwig's giant pipe organ.

If Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the Mushroom King are run down by a group of Dino Rhinos in Flown the Koopa, they will lose their tickets to the International Dino-Flying Derby, which will end up being blown into a tree inhabited by Cheep Cheeps by a gust of wind. If Mario is chosen to get the tickets back, he will succeed, stomping the irritated Cheep Cheep he takes them from. If Luigi tries to get the tickets instead, a Cheep Cheep will bite him and cause him to fall out of the tree and into a patch of Munchers, causing a Game Over.

Yoshi[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are falling objects in Yoshi. They use their sprite from Super Mario World. Cheep Cheeps appear in the A-type mode once 60-69 eggs have been hatched in the Family Computer/Nintendo Entertainment System version, or 70 or more in the Game Boy version. If a Cheep Cheep appears in Yoshi's place in a bonus game if the playewr does not make Yoshi appear.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are fairly common obstacles in Mario Kart series. They also have a few courses named after them.

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Artwork of a Flopsy Fish from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. They are visually split between surface and underwater types,[14] known in the American English guide as Flopsy Fish[15] and Piscatory Petes,[16] respectively.

Flopsy Fish
Sprite of a Flopsy Fish from Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.

Flopsy Fish are colored red (green in their artwork) and have wider mouths and smaller, closer together eyes than most depictions, and also have yellow pectoral fins. They typically attack by swimming around atop the surface of water, with some occasionally leaping straight up into the air, or in an arc while holding their toothy mouths open. Yet another variety endlessly jumps in an arc without ever swimming back and forth. They cannot be turned into eggs if eaten. A Flopsy Fish also appears as the map icon for the level "Lake Shore Paradise," which features Flopsy Fish of all behaviors.

Piscatory Petes are slightly smaller and resemble the Cheep Cheep design of Super Mario World, along with the Blurps of the same game. There are two varieties: a blue type that swims forward, occasionally pausing, and a yellow one that quickly follows Yoshi in straight lines, only changing direction when it pauses or hits a wall. The lips of Piscatory Pete are exactly the same as the ones on Loch Nestor. A Yoshi can defeat them in its Submarine form with a single torpedo.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Yellow Piscatory Pete from Yoshi's Island DS.

Cheep Cheeps appear in Yoshi's Island DS. They retain their Flopsy Fish[17] and Piscatory Pete designs, but the latter is now called Cheep Cheeps in English.[18] Flopsy Fish appear similarly as before, though their lips and pectoral fins are colored normally. Underwater Cheep Cheeps also act the same as before, but cannot be destroyed by torpedoes, since the submarine cannot shoot them. They appear automatically in the Island Museum after the first time they are encountered. Cheep-Chomps (known as Boss Bass) also return, having a boss version known as Bessie Bass.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Yoshi's New Island. They are designed similarly to their other appearances around the time, but still have slightly wider mouths. Cheep Cheeps act like Flopsy Fish while on the surface and are encountered underwater in Submarine Yoshi areas only. Cheep Cheeps simply swim forwards in a straight line, and green Cheep Cheeps also appear, swimming in a wavy pattern.[19] The game's files indicate the green ones are based on Deep Cheeps.[20]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

Artwork of a Goby for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Sprite of Goby, from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Though they kept their standard name in Japan and in the remake, they were given the name Goby in English localization of the original game. Cheep Cheeps roam the waterways of Kero Sewers. In battle, a Cheep Cheep will lower its head and ram into its enemy, and have no special attacks. They are weak against lightning-based magic attacks, and are stunned for a turn when hit with one.

After the water of Kero Sewers is drained, Cheep Cheeps flop around erratically on the dry ground, but behave normally in battle. Cheep Cheeps also have green relatives called Mr. Kippers.

In Bowser's Keep, a Cheep Cheep named Kipp makes a small appearance as part of one of Dr. Topper's puzzles, where he had apparently competed in a triathlon.

Tetris Attack[edit]

A blue Flopsy Fish appears in Tetris Attack. It is paired with Lunge Fish during gameplay, and it reuses the same pose as the Flopsy Fish's artwork from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Yoshi's Story[edit]

CheepCheepYS.png

Cheep Cheeps[21][22] (also called simply fish[23][24]) appear in Yoshi's Story. They are encountered in Neuron Jungle, Lots O'Jelly Fish, and Lots O'Fish. Cheep Cheeps are depicted with visible eyelids, higher-set eyes, and orange lips that are separate all the way to the mouth corners. Cheep Cheeps possess different fins than before, having smaller, circular, and yellow pectoral fins as well as tailfins split into two lobes instead of the usual three. Cheep Cheeps either move back and forth within a small area or swim forward in a relatively straight line. A secret area of Lots O'Fish shows Cheep Cheeps swimming in and out of the background in a huge school, with some carrying melons, similarly to Flying Shy Guys. The Spiny Fish appears and only swims back and forth, while two large red and blue varieties of Boss Bass (now called "big Blurps") appear.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

A large Cheep Cheep appears in Mario Party. It is encountered in Yoshi's Tropical Island, where stepping on a Happening Space causes a large Cheep Cheep,[25] named Bubba in English releases, to take Toad in its mouth and switch his position with Bowser. In Mario Party Superstars, it was replaced by a Cheep Chomp.

Mario Party 2[edit]

Large Cheep-cheeps are obstacles in the minigame Abandon Ship in Mario Party 2. They leap from the water very quickly at players as they climb the sinking masts, causing them to slide slightly down if they hit.

Mario Party 3[edit]

A large Cheep Cheep is an obstacle in the minigame Cheep Cheep Chase in Mario Party 3. It is designed after its previous appearance. The large Cheep Cheep chases players while they dive to avoid bombs and eats whoever is too slow to avoid it.

Mario Party 4[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are an interactable species in Mario Party 4. They are redesigned to take traits from their Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World sprites, maintaining the design in most appearances until Super Mario 64 DS. One red Cheep Cheep at the end of the minigame Fish n' Drips is dropped in the winning group's jar, which is also shaped like a Cheep Cheep. Cheep Cheeps appear in Cheep Cheep Sweep, where the goal for teams is to capture and release them into a small pool for points.

Mario Party 5[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are an interactable species in Mario Party 5. They are encountered in Fish Sticks, where players try various fishing lines to score Cheep Cheeps for one point or golden Cheep Cheeps for three points each respectively, as well as in Fish Upon a Star, as obstacles in large red and small blue varieties that crash into the arena, causing parts to fall. A red or blue Cheep Cheep submarine is used by the respective teams in the minigame Submarathon. Outside of minigames, Cheep Cheeps run small shops in the background of Undersea Dream.

Mario Party 6[edit]

Cheep Cheeps make background appearances in Mario Party 6. On the main menu, saying "Cheep Cheep" into the mic causes Cheep Cheeps to jump out of the water. They cameo in Slot Trot as one of the possible images.

Mario Party Advance[edit]

“I... won!? No way! I... I can't believe it!”
Cheep Cheep, Mario Party Advance

Cheep Cheep is a character in Mario Party Advance. He appears in Shroom City along with his coach, a yellow Cheep Cheep. He is found practicing his swimming at the Mushroom Pool, though is lacking confidence,[26] so the player is requested to help Cheep Cheep regain it by losing in such a way that it does not appear deliberate.[27] When the condition is fulfilled, Cheep Cheep excitedly tells his coach that he won. As Cheep Cheep resumes swim practice, the player is thanked by the coach for boosting his confidence and is rewarded the Desktop Golf Gaddget. Cheep Cheep was also one of the three witnesses and suspects who saw Shroomlock being dragged off Sushi Cliff but denied responsibility.[28] In the epilogue, Cheep Cheep managed to set a new record.

Cheep Cheeps are a species in Reel Cheep, where the goal is to catch the largest one possible.

Mario Party 7[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in the minigames Fish & Cheeps, Bridge Work, and Be My Chum! as well as on the board Grand Canal in Mario Party 7.

Mario Party 8[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are background characters in the minigame Rowed to Victory and pictures in Picture Perfect in Mario Party 8. In the former, Cheep Cheeps watch the players row their boat and assist Mega Cheep-Cheep in chasing the losers at the end.

Mario Party DS[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in Cheep Chump, where they create whirlpools having to be avoided; an interactable species in Cheep Cheep Chance, where players try to choose the rope with the Cheep Cheep; and the likeness of one of the plush toys in Plush Crush in Mario Party DS.

Mario Party 9[edit]

A giant Cheep Cheep is a boss in Mario Party 9. It is the mini-boss of Blooper Beach, being fought in the minigame Cheep Cheep Shot. Cheep Cheep attacks by either charging at a player or diving at them from the air. The Cheep Cheep takes damage from shells being thrown at it. Besides the boss, Cheep Cheeps appear in a few minigames, including Pianta Pool, where three and five leap through a pink or golden ring, respectively; Pier Pressure, where players try to grab the lines with Cheep Cheeps on the end; and in Jigsaw Jumble, appearing on one of the puzzles.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Cheep Cheeps cameo in the minigames Match Faker and Tap Dash as tiles in Mario Party: Island Tour.

Mario Party 10[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are an interactable species in Mario Party 10. They appear in various minigames, usually being portrayed in large shoals. Several Cheep Cheeps appear in Cheep Cheep Leap, where invincible players can hit them for points. A Cheep Cheep is seen standing along many enemies on an arrangement of pictures in Meanie Match. Cheep Cheeps swim around in an aquarium in Cheep Cheep Check, where three players try to count the Cheep Cheeps as the first player interfere by moving them. Some Cheep Cheep sentries appear in the Cheep Chomp battle while said boss is maddened, deflecting Koopa Shells thrown by players.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Mario Golf
Hole 4 of Mario's Star is shaped like a Cheep Cheep, in Mario Golf for Nintendo 64

In Mario Golf, either a Bubba or a Cheep Cheep using its Yoshi's Story design will jump out of the water if the ball lands in it. A Cheep Cheep-shaped island surrounded by a fishbowl-shaped lake is also the theme of Hole 4 of Mario's Star. Cheep Cheep's name sometimes appears on the scorecard; perhaps incidentally, so does "Bub." In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Cheep Cheeps have a course named after them, Cheep Cheep Falls. Cheep Cheeps make another appearance in Mario Golf: World Tour, swimming around the Cheep Cheep Lagoon course. In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Cheep Cheeps appear in the Shelltop Sanctuary course.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Only one Cheep Cheep appears in Paper Mario, Sushie, who is among Mario's many partners. Her appearance is primarily based on the "Flopsy Fish" design from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. The only other Cheep Cheep mentioned is her daughter Sashimie, who writes her a letter telling her she is going to have a baby.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Stewart is one of the Cheep Cheeps in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
The unused green Cheep Cheep in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Two Cheep Cheeps in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are designed similarly to Sushie. The first is Stewart, the conductor of the Cheep Blimp who closely resembles the Flopsy Fish from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and the second is Chef Shimi, the chef on the Excess Express. The latter has "Cheep Cheep" as his first language, and as such often accidentally mixes words, such as "saved" and "shaved", up before immediately correcting himself. A sprite of a green Cheep Cheep resembling Stewart (albeit without his hat) appears unused in the game's files.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Super Paper Mario. The red type appears in Gloam Valley, while the green type does in the Tile Pool. Cheep Cheeps swim back and forth between walls, with the red type doing it along the surface of the water while the green type does this underwater. Cheep Cheeps have a rounder design reminiscent of their appearance in contemporary games. A Cheep Cheep is mentioned by a Shayde in The Underwhere, telling another of his species about how he lost his game and mentioned that he swam like a Cheep Cheep and lost by being eaten by a Boss Bass.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. They are encountered in Whitecap Beach only, exclusively in red varieties. They jump out of the water, or poison if Gooper Blooper has not been defeated. Cheep Cheeps encountered from poison have the same HP as Spinies, although they can be defeated without being battled but respawn endlessly. Cheep Cheeps can attack by either slamming into Mario or shooting a jet of water, having a 75 percent chance of inflicting the Soggy status effect if Mario does not block it.

A Big Cheep Cheep also serves as a mini-boss and is fought in Surfshine Harbor.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are encountered in Bloo Bay Beach. Cheep Cheeps are designed identically as in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, albeit with the paper outline from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, and also behave identically. Small Cheep Cheeps appear in the Sacred Forest.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Paper Mario: The Origami King. They, like many of the Koopa Troop, are converted into Folded Soldiers by King Olly. Cheep Cheeps are also seen swimming around at Shogun Studios, outside the entrance to Big Sho' Theater, as well as the Great Sea. Regular Cheep Cheeps can also be fished up by Mario in various fishing spots in varying sizes. A large type of Cheep Cheep known as the Legendary Cheep Cheep can also be fished up at the pier in Full Moon Island.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Cheep Cheep
Non-spiny Spiny Cheep Cheep from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are encountered in the Seabed. Cheep Cheeps are colored indigo instead of red. In the overworld, they dive into Mario and Luigi to try and battle with them. Cheep Cheeps can be aided by Starkisses, Malibuts and Mecha-Bloopers in battle, and jumping on a Cheep Cheep turns it into a Puffer-Cheeps, which are puffed-up and covered in spines.

A Cheep Cheep only cameos on a movie poster in Yoshi Theater in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, since Cheep Cheeps and their transformation are replaced by Spiny Cheep Cheeps, which now resemble violet-colored Cheep Cheeps in their default form.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are obstacles in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They are one of the objects that can come out of a Junker Can while being emptied by Junker. The Cheep Cheep jumps over either Mario or Luigi, damaging him if he is not idle. Cheep Cheeps were given a variant, Air Cheeps, which appear in the Airway of Bowser's body.

In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Poison Mushrooms replace Cheep Cheeps during Junker's battle. However, Cheep Cheeps appear in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode as flying enemies, and their Special Skill is Super Stomp. They only appear in levels in Plack Beach. At the start of rounds involving them, they are not initially seen with the rest of the squad, rather they jump out of the water to their positions as soon as the battle starts. Cheep Cheeps are one of two standard Super Mario franchise enemies that cannot be recruited as allies, the other being Urchins due to being unable to travel on land.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

A Cheep Cheep from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

Cheep Cheeps reappear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as enemies, sporting their traditional red color scheme instead of indigo. In battle, they sometimes fight alongside Urchins. Hammer attacks do not affect them, as they float above the ground. Cheep Cheeps can attack by jumping into or over the Mario Bros. They can also attack by spitting water, which can be countered with a hammer. If they hit Paper Mario with their water attack, he will become Creased and will be unable to use or make copies of himself. If a battle is started with a Cheep Cheep as it is heading back to the water, the Cheep Cheeps will be tired and unable to float, allowing hammer attacks to be used. While they are tired, they will occasionally flee from battle. Their paper counterparts do not appear in the game.

WarioWare series[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in some microgames in the WarioWare series. In Super Mario Bros. 3 of WarioWare: Twisted!, they can appear as flying enemies. In Clawing for More of WarioWare: Touched!, Cheep Cheeps from Super Mario Bros. 3 are one of the sprites that can appear from the ball upon breaking it. In Super Mario Maker of WarioWare Gold, shaking a Cheep Cheep to make it a Deep Cheep is required to win the microgame.

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Yoshi Touch & Go. They have their swimming-and-leaping-upwards behavior from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, alongside the Spiny Cheep-Cheep, which jumps upwards constantly.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Super Princess Peach. They behave similarly to the Flopsy Fish in early entries of the Yoshi's Island series. They can be defeated simply by jumping on them. Cheep Cheeps also received a variant, Sad Cheep Cheeps.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Cheep Cheeps cameo in the Super Smash Bros. series. One appears ass a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as well as a sticker in the former. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a Cheep Cheep makes a cameo in the River Survival spirit.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

Cheep Cheeps are enemies in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its ports. They appear only in three stages: Briny Bowl Swimming Hole, Floaty Fun Water Park, and Goomba Galleon. If a Cheep Cheep within a group is stunned with the pointer or touch screen, the other Cheep Cheeps of the group stop moving. Cheep Cheeps swim back and forth on the ocean floor. They can be defeated either from being landed on, an Invincibility Mushroom, or using the 2 Player Co-op mode functionality on Nintendo Switch.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

The Cheep Cheep in the Scrapbook Theater
A Cheep Cheep from Yoshi's Woolly World

Cheep Cheeps appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They are depicted with a knitted appearance befitting the game's aesthetic. Their eyes are thinner and closer together than normal once again, and their mouths are as wide as they were in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They appear during Mermaid Yoshi segments, and can swim in a variety of ways, including straight forwards and circling, akin to Circling Boo Buddies. If a Cheep Cheep is eaten by Yoshi in this game, it'll turn into a red yarn ball.

Mario + Rabbids series[edit]

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a picture of a Cheep Cheep can be seen on a box featuring a Rabbid capturing a Blooper in a net at the beginning of the level Call of Sherbet Mountain.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope[edit]

In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, while DJ Cheep Tuna plays his DJ after it is cleared of Darkmess, lots of Cheep Cheeps jump out of the water in tune to the music.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

Cheep Cheeps appear in Yoshi's Crafted World. They are encountered in Bombs Away on Pirate Island, Slip-Slide Isle, and Ride the River. Both Bombs Away on Pirate Island and Skulking Around include crafts of Cheep Cheeps, five in each level; in the former level, the crafts are cardboard signs of Cheep Cheeps, while in Skulking Around the crafts are crude paintings in golden frames found on the flip side. Cheep Cheeps attack the player character by jumping out of the water.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

DMW-CheepCheep.png

Cheep Cheeps are assistants in Dr. Mario World. In stage mode, they grant a chance that one virus is eliminated when starting a stage, but will not completely eliminate a virus that requires multiple hits to be eliminate such as floatie viruses or bubbles containing viruses. In versus mode, they make the player's attack meter fill faster by a certain percentage, rounding down the attack meter's value to the nearest round number after the percentage is applied.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In the teaser posterMedia:The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a purple Toad can be seen carrying a plastic fish bag containing a Cheep Cheep. A design of one also appears on the sign of the storefront behind the Toad. A bagged Cheep Cheep also appears in the film itself, where it glares at Mario when he and Toad are walking through the Mushroom Kingdom's town, though it is instead carried by a yellow Toad. In another scene, Mario, Peach, and Toad are seen crossing a bridge with Cheep Cheeps leaping over it, where one latches onto Mario's face; in the official trailer, Peach pulls it off and accidentally causes it to latch onto Toad's face instead. They are also far more detailed, with scales and more realistic tails.
