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

Certain appearances like ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' give them a bluish glow, similar to Boos.

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

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

Peepas carry [[ghost-coaster]]s in {{world link|3|ghosthousen2|World 3-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} when Mario or Luigi stands on one, and though these Peepas do not damage the player character, they do tilt the ghost-coaster and disappear with it upon reaching the end point.
 
Also, in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3's]] Ghost House and other Ghost House based levels, Peepas carry moving yellow platforms. They appear when Mario stands on one of them. They will move along with the platform tracks if there is any. Sometimes they will tilt the platforms and also they may disappear at the end of a track, causing the platforms to disappear as well. These platform-carrying Peepas do not hurt Mario or Luigi if they touch them, unlike the circling Peepas.

This is also the first game where Peepas are shown with an expression other than their usual grin; as they make a terrified face when they are being illuminated by a Light Box.

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

Image of a Peepa from Dr. Mario World

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