In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Bubbas appear in two places on [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. In this appearance, they have visible orange and yellow scales like the game's design of [[Cheep Cheep#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Cheep Cheep]] (also known as Bubs), and also wear sunglasses and have no tooth. They aim in on the player character with their mouth wide open, attempting to eat them. If a character is eaten, that character will lose a [[life]], regardless of their current health. In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', their design greatly resembles [[Boss Bass]] with more defined wing-like pectoral fins, a yellow dorsal fin and a triple-lobed tail, but they otherwise serve the same role and appear in the same locations. This time, the one closest to the course's entrance can be defeated with a nearby [[Super Mushroom]].

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Bubbas appear in two places on [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. As revealed from source assets, they were directly based on [[Blurp]]s during development as their internal name is "<tt>buku</tt>," a shortened version of Blurp's Japanese name. Whenever they spawn in the player's view, a splash appears over them, indicating they have dropped into the water. They sluggishly swim around under the water, but when they see Mario, they speed up drastically and move to whatever depth of the water he is at. They then point themselves at Mario and quickly shoot forward with their mouths open, attempting to eat him, before snapping them shut with the same "chomp" noise [[Piranha Plant]]s use. If Mario is eaten by a Bubba, he instantly loses a life, regardless of the amount of health he has left. Sometimes, they open and close their mouths quickly as Mario approaches. If Mario is on the surface of the water, they may end up leaping a small bit from their launch, and through this can eat him while he rides a [[Koopa Shell|shell]]. Bubbas are very accurate, but they can be dodged if Mario manages to get behind them. If he does so, they will attempt to quickly turn around to get to him, but they can still be followed relatively safely. They can also be jumped over if timed well, though he will be damaged if he ends up landing on one, and if this is done near the stage border, it may somehow manage to eat him without even opening its mouth. Additionally, if he swims close enough to the beach near one of them, the water will be too shallow for it and it will swim away. At a certain distance from this beach, it may pursue Mario without trying to eat him, but it will be less likely to try if Mario is facing the beach. Through a glitch, it is possible to force a Bubba to beach,<ref>{{cite|author=pannenkoek2012|url=youtu.be/rYnB8ty_4ZM|title=SM64 - Beached Bubba Glitch|date=July 18, 2013|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=May 18, 2024}}</ref> after which it will be stuck face-down and moving forward until it falls off the stage.
 
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Bubbas' behavior has been changed noticeably to make them less dangerous, possibly due to the imprecise controls on the original [[Nintendo DS]]; they now go a relatively constant speed upon noticing the player character, which is slower than their pursuit speed in the original. This speed carries into their turns and lunges, which are now done in a slow arc and can no longer result in "leaps." They also no longer swim along the level the player is swimming when pursuing them, instead swimming at a constant level and changing it only while lunging at the player, after which they return to their normal depth. This also results in making them in general less accurate and easier to dodge; in fact, they may lunge before even facing the player. However, the player can still be "sucked in" if they touch the side of their open lips. A Bubba near the course's entrance can be defeated from a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] nearby.

[[File:CheepChompNSMB.png|thumb|A Cheep-Chomp from ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
[[File:CheepChompNSMB.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] swim too close to the Cheep-Chomp, it follows him, opens its mouth, and tries to eat him. If they eat players, they lose a life, regardless of their condition. They can be defeated, like all other fish, with a [[fireball]] or as [[Mega Mario|Mega Mario/Luigi]]. Only three appear in the entire game, all of them appearing in the same level: [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. Additionally, it is the first game to give it its current English name and design, which is based on the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' incarnation except retextured purple with a turquoise tail and dorsal fin, likely so players can more easily distinguish them from the less-aggressive [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]].
Only three Cheep-Chomps<ref name=nsmb/> appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where all of them are in [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. A Cheep Chomp's behavior is to swim after Mario or Luigi, open its mouth with a creaking sound, and attempt to eat him, taking away a life. It takes either a [[fireball]] or the [[Mega Mario|Mega]] form to defeat a Cheep-Chomp. Only one Cheep-Chomp can be onscreen at a time. It is the first game where Cheep Chomps have their current English name and design, which is based on the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' incarnation except retextured purple with a turquoise tail and dorsal fin, likely so players can more easily distinguish them from the less aggressive [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]]. Incidentally, their coloration is somewhat reminiscent of [[Blurp]].


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', only two Cheep-Chomps appear: once in a bonus area in [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]], and again in a bonus area of [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. A fireball or [[Super Star|Starman]] can defeat Cheep-Chomps, but they are invincible to [[Ice Ball|ice ball]]s from [[Ice Mario]]. Two changes are made from ''New Super Mario Bros.'': it is slightly bigger, and defeating it releases three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. The [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide for this game also incorrectly refers to the Cheep-Chomp as a [[Porcupuffer]].<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, pages 82 and 176.</ref>
Only two Cheep-Chomps, incorrectly identified as [[Porcupuffer]]s in the [[Prima]] guide,<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=82 and 176|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 15, 2009|language=en-us}}</ref> appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. The first one is in a bonus area of [[World 4-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-4]], where one of [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs can defeat it for three [[1-Up Mushroom]]]s.<ref>{{cite|quote=If you have the Fire Flower power-up, you can blast the Porcupuffer{{sic}} and get three 1-Up Mushrooms!|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=82}}</ref> The second Cheep-Chomp is in [[World 9-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-2]]. Both Cheep-Chomps are unaffected by [[Ice Ball|ice ball]]s and are larger than all other Cheep Cheep varieties.

[[File:NSMB2 Swimming W1-5.png|thumb|right|World 1-5]]
Cheep Chomps (parsed with a space instead of a hyphen for the first time) once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The first one appears in [[World 1-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-5]],<ref name=nsmb2>{{cite|timestamp=01:13|url=youtu.be/Bs6foMP9oJM?feature=shared&t=73|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'': World 1-5 <nowiki>[1080 HD]</nowiki>|date=June 11, 2017|author=GamerJGB|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> and Cheep Chomps later appear throughout [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-5]]. Another appears in [[Impossible Pack#Course 1|course one]] of the Impossible Pack, near two whirlpools. Cheep-Chomps only follow in a preset area before stopping when the player character leaves. Defeating a Cheep Chomp causes it to drop three [[coin]]s.<ref name=nsmb2/>
Cheep Chomps once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. One makes its first appearance early in [[World 1-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-5]]. When defeated, it releases three [[coin]]s. They reappear as common enemies in [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-5]]. Another appears in [[Impossible Pack#Course 1|course one]] of the Impossible Pack, near two whirlpools.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
The Cheep Chomps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and act as in the predecessors. This enemy is prominently featured in the [[Superstar Road]] level [[Swim for Your Life!]], where it must be used to eat [[Urchin]]s and other enemies to complete the level. This time, it takes three hits from a fireball to be defeated, unlike earlier titles, where it took only one. However, like a [[Porcupuffer]], it returns shortly afterward.


====''New Super Luigi U''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Cheep Chomps appear in [[Cheep Chomp Chase]] in [[Acorn Plains]] and [[Star Coin Deep Dive]] in [[Superstar Road]].
[[File:NSMBU Swim For Your Life Screenshot.jpg|thumb|A Cheep Chomp in Swim for Your Life in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
The Cheep Chomps reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They appear prominently in [[Swim for Your Life!]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and in the levels [[Cheep Chomp Chase]] and [[Star Coin Deep Dive]] in ''New Super Luigi U''. Cheep Chomps were made stronger, not only by defeating other enemies along the way but also from requiring three fireballs to defeat. However, a Cheep Chomp returns soon after its defeat, like a [[Porcupuffer]]. Cheep Chomps are the only enemies that can defeat [[Nabbit]].


====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

It can be seen on the surface of the water in [[Long Fall Falls]], pursuing Mario (who is riding a raft down the river). The Cheep Chomp appears to be made of cardboard, featuring a propeller-like tail. The Cheep Chomp can destroy parts of the raft Mario is riding on by ramming into it, and being eaten results in an instant [[Game Over]]. When both reach a waterfall, Mario and his raft continue to fall, while the Cheep Chomp's "propeller" ends up propelling it upward, into space.

One of the bosses in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' is a Cheep Chomp named '''Mega Cheep Chomp''', featured as the mid-boss of [[Whimsical Waters]] in story mode. Its minigame, [[Mega Cheep Chomp's Shell Shock]], involves each player launching their three [[Koopa Shell|Koopa shell]]s to inflict damage. Mega Cheep Chomp targets the player who hit it last. If a player is caught, Mega Cheep Chomp lunges onto them, costing them two points. When Mega Cheep Chomp is angered, two or three Cheep Cheeps swim around Mega Cheep Chomp to help protect it from the shells.

Its minigame, [[Mega Cheep Chomp's Shell Shock]], involves the players firing Koopa shells from cannons at it to deal damage. Each player has three Koopa shells, and they try not to have the Mega Cheep Chomp face them when time runs out, otherwise resulting in the Mega Cheep Chomp lurching out of the water and landing on the player it is facing, deducting points. Every time a player hits him with a Koopa shell, it rotates, changing the player it will attack. When it is mad, three [[Cheep Cheep]]s will appear and swim around it, deflecting shots from cannons. They can be eliminated by shooting shells at them.

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
Cheep Chomps are big, round fish. Starting with ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Cheep Chomps are usually depicted with having a purple body, a white underbelly, large pink lips, and cyan fins.
 
In their debut appearance, ''Super Mario 64'', Cheep Chomps have distinguishable orange scales and small red fins like the game's design of [[Cheep Cheep#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Cheep Cheep]] (also known as Bubs), and also wear sunglasses, have no tooth, and have a wide, somewhat fat appearance from the front. Cheep Chomps retain their appearance in ''Mario Golf'', but were made a lot smaller.
 
In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Cheep Chomps have no sunglasses, and their design greatly resembles [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] with more defined wing-like pectoral fins, a yellow dorsal fin and a triple-lobed tail. They still have distinguishable scales, but they are smaller and red. Cheep Chomps are also smaller and less wide than before, while the opening and closing of their mouths is done smoothly instead of instantaneously. The same design was reused in both ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', except the Cheep Chomps were given a brighter shade of red.

Cheep Chomps, originally called Bubbas[1] and formerly formatted as Cheep-Chomps,[2][3] are big relatives of Cheep Cheeps debuting in Super Mario 64. They closely resemble Boss Bass from Super Mario Bros. 3 in later appearances, and much like Boss Basses, they attempt to eat Mario.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

In Super Mario 64, Bubbas appear in two places on Tiny-Huge Island. As revealed from source assets, they were directly based on Blurps during development as their internal name is "buku," a shortened version of Blurp's Japanese name. Whenever they spawn in the player's view, a splash appears over them, indicating they have dropped into the water. They sluggishly swim around under the water, but when they see Mario, they speed up drastically and move to whatever depth of the water he is at. They then point themselves at Mario and quickly shoot forward with their mouths open, attempting to eat him, before snapping them shut with the same "chomp" noise Piranha Plants use. If Mario is eaten by a Bubba, he instantly loses a life, regardless of the amount of health he has left. Sometimes, they open and close their mouths quickly as Mario approaches. If Mario is on the surface of the water, they may end up leaping a small bit from their launch, and through this can eat him while he rides a shell. Bubbas are very accurate, but they can be dodged if Mario manages to get behind them. If he does so, they will attempt to quickly turn around to get to him, but they can still be followed relatively safely. They can also be jumped over if timed well, though he will be damaged if he ends up landing on one, and if this is done near the stage border, it may somehow manage to eat him without even opening its mouth. Additionally, if he swims close enough to the beach near one of them, the water will be too shallow for it and it will swim away. At a certain distance from this beach, it may pursue Mario without trying to eat him, but it will be less likely to try if Mario is facing the beach. Through a glitch, it is possible to force a Bubba to beach,[4] after which it will be stuck face-down and moving forward until it falls off the stage.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Bubbas' behavior has been changed noticeably to make them less dangerous, possibly due to the imprecise controls on the original Nintendo DS; they now go a relatively constant speed upon noticing the player character, which is slower than their pursuit speed in the original. This speed carries into their turns and lunges, which are now done in a slow arc and can no longer result in "leaps." They also no longer swim along the level the player is swimming when pursuing them, instead swimming at a constant level and changing it only while lunging at the player, after which they return to their normal depth. This also results in making them in general less accurate and easier to dodge; in fact, they may lunge before even facing the player. However, the player can still be "sucked in" if they touch the side of their open lips. A Bubba near the course's entrance can be defeated from a mushroom nearby.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Cheep-Chomp

Only three Cheep-Chomps[2] appear in New Super Mario Bros., where all of them are in World 3-1. A Cheep Chomp's behavior is to swim after Mario or Luigi, open its mouth with a creaking sound, and attempt to eat him, taking away a life. It takes either a fireball or the Mega form to defeat a Cheep-Chomp. Only one Cheep-Chomp can be onscreen at a time. It is the first game where Cheep Chomps have their current English name and design, which is based on the Super Mario 64 DS incarnation except retextured purple with a turquoise tail and dorsal fin, likely so players can more easily distinguish them from the less aggressive Mega Cheep-Cheep. Incidentally, their coloration is somewhat reminiscent of Blurp.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Only two Cheep-Chomps, incorrectly identified as Porcupuffers in the Prima guide,[5] appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The first one is in a bonus area of World 4-4, where one of Fire Mario's fireballs can defeat it for three 1-Up Mushroom]s.[6] The second Cheep-Chomp is in World 9-2. Both Cheep-Chomps are unaffected by ice balls and are larger than all other Cheep Cheep varieties.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Cheep Chomps (parsed with a space instead of a hyphen for the first time) once again appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2. The first one appears in World 1-5,[7] and Cheep Chomps later appear throughout World 4-5. Another appears in course one of the Impossible Pack, near two whirlpools. Cheep-Chomps only follow in a preset area before stopping when the player character leaves. Defeating a Cheep Chomp causes it to drop three coins.[7]

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

A Cheep Chomp in Swim for Your Life in New Super Mario Bros. U

The Cheep Chomps reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their port. They appear prominently in Swim for Your Life! in New Super Mario Bros. U, and in the levels Cheep Chomp Chase and Star Coin Deep Dive in New Super Luigi U. Cheep Chomps were made stronger, not only by defeating other enemies along the way but also from requiring three fireballs to defeat. However, a Cheep Chomp returns soon after its defeat, like a Porcupuffer. Cheep Chomps are the only enemies that can defeat Nabbit.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

A Cheep Chomp appears briefly in the background of underwater levels in the New Super Mario Bros. U style of Super Mario Maker 2 before swimming off. Porcupuffer receive the behavior of Cheep Chomps while underwater in the Super Mario 3D World style.

Mario Golf series[edit]

Mario Golf[edit]

Bubba

Landing a ball in the water in Mario Golf causes a Bubba or a Cheep Cheep to jump out. Bubbas are much smaller than in Super Mario 64. "Bubba" is sometimes displayed on the score card.

Mario Golf: Super Rush[edit]

This section is a stub. Please consider expanding it to include any missing information.

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Cheep Chomps appear at Shelltop Sanctuary.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

A Bubba makes a minor appearance in Mario Kart DS, in the Banshee Boardwalk course, where it jumps out of the water and over the course. The Bubba replaces the big Cheep Cheep from the original Mario Kart 64 version.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Boss Bass

Cheep-Chomps,[8] referred to as "Boss Bass",[9][10] appear in Yoshi's Island DS. They patrol their own little section of water, and periodically leap out in an attempt to swallow Yoshi whole. Boss Bass can only eat Yoshi while they are descending. The mid-boss of World 3, Bessie Bass, is a giant member of the species. While Cheep-Chomps do not appear in any other games of the Yoshi's Island series, Lunge Fish are given a similar leaping behavior afterwards.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

Long Fall Falls

A giant Cheep Chomp (also called a Big Cheep Chomp by Prima Games[11]) is an obstacle on the water surface of Long Fall Falls in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. The Cheep Chomp is made of cardboard and has a propeller-like tail, and it chases Mario. The Cheep Chomp can ram into Mario's raft to destroy parts of it, and the player receives a Game Over if Mario is eaten. At the waterfall, Cheep Chomp propels itself upward while Mario continues his descent.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Cheep Chomps are featured in the minigame Cheep Diamonds in Mario Party: Island Tour, where players try to be the first to choose the Cheep Chomp with the most diamonds.[12][13] One can sometimes cameo in Starring Artist.

Mario Party 10[edit]

One of the bosses in Mario Party 10 is a Cheep Chomp named Mega Cheep Chomp, featured as the mid-boss of Whimsical Waters in story mode. Its minigame, Mega Cheep Chomp's Shell Shock, involves each player launching their three Koopa shells to inflict damage. Mega Cheep Chomp targets the player who hit it last. If a player is caught, Mega Cheep Chomp lunges onto them, costing them two points. When Mega Cheep Chomp is angered, two or three Cheep Cheeps swim around Mega Cheep Chomp to help protect it from the shells.

Super Mario Party[edit]

Cheep Chomps appear in Super Mario Party, as background elements of Mushroom Beach. One is sometimes featured in the minigame Rattle and Hmmm with a Torpedo Ted and Dragoneel.[14] Machines in the likeness of Cheep Chomps appear in Feeding Friendsy, where players compete to toss balls into them.

Mario Party Superstars[edit]

A Cheep Chomp is featured during the Event Space event of Yoshi's Tropical Island in Mario Party Superstars. It leaps out of the water, taking Toadette to the other side as she switches places with Bowser;[15] a role that Bubbas originally had. At the end, each of the players are taken away by a Cheep Chomp except the winner.[16]

Other appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

Cheep Chomps, alongside Cheep Cheeps, Eep Cheeps, and Bloopers, appeared in Fishing Tourney #12 in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp as the largest fish that could be caught, due to the tourney being held around the same time as Mario Day. A Cheep Chomp balloon attached to a Brick Block could also be obtained as special furniture when the player reached the 2,900, 3,100, 3,300, 3,600, or 4,100 cm milestone. Although they are depicted with their trademark closed eyes in the scenes where they are caught by the player, their icon depicts them with open eyes similar to Cheep Cheeps and Eep Cheeps.

General information[edit]

Physical appearance[edit]

Cheep Chomps are big, round fish. Starting with New Super Mario Bros., Cheep Chomps are usually depicted with having a purple body, a white underbelly, large pink lips, and cyan fins.

In their debut appearance, Super Mario 64, Cheep Chomps have distinguishable orange scales and small red fins like the game's design of Cheep Cheep (also known as Bubs), and also wear sunglasses, have no tooth, and have a wide, somewhat fat appearance from the front. Cheep Chomps retain their appearance in Mario Golf, but were made a lot smaller.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Cheep Chomps have no sunglasses, and their design greatly resembles Boss Bass with more defined wing-like pectoral fins, a yellow dorsal fin and a triple-lobed tail. They still have distinguishable scales, but they are smaller and red. Cheep Chomps are also smaller and less wide than before, while the opening and closing of their mouths is done smoothly instead of instantaneously. The same design was reused in both Mario Kart DS and Yoshi's Island DS, except the Cheep Chomps were given a brighter shade of red.
