A Cheep-Cheep from Super Mario Bros.

In Super Mario Bros., Cheep-Cheeps are found in the underwater levels, slowly swimming towards the player, where they can only be defeated with a fireball. In some levels Cheep-Cheeps jump off from the bottom of the screen creating random obstacles. In Super Mario Bros. 3 they act the same but can also jump out of water and lava. In Super Mario World, they posed a numerous threat as the white, slow-moving fish found underwater and in floating bubbles, though they were not included in the credits. Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins again featured Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps impeded Mario's progress through the Macro and Turtle Zones by swimming back and forth in the water, like a Goomba. Among the other fish, they were accompanied by similar-looking Blurps. They could be destroyed by a tossed Green Shell or a fireball.

Super Mario Sunshine

Cheep-Cheeps are found in Ricco Harbor and Noki Bay in the game Super Mario Sunshine. While they mostly just flail, they cause Mario to spin when they touch him. They can be defeated with FLUDD, but will reappear almost instantly. Yoshis can turn them into platforms by spraying them with certain fruit juice.

Paper Mario series

Template:Catch Card In the Paper Mario series, Cheep-Cheeps are considerably more intelligent than their predecessors, and are able to speak, as well as, strangely enough, safely live and travel about on land. As indicated in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, many even have jobs, such as blimp conductor and chef. Most significant of these land-dwelling fishes is Sushie, a female Cheep-Cheep who was among Mario's many partners in Paper Mario. Cheep-Cheeps also appear as enemies in Super Paper Mario, though they were allies in the first two games.

New Super Mario Bros.

In New Super Mario Bros., Cheep-Cheeps behave the same way as in other platformers, and have a larger version. (Mega Cheep-Cheep). However, two subspecies were introduced: The Deep-Cheep and the Cheep-Chomp. Deep-Cheeps and Cheep-Chomps chase Mario when they appear on-screen. Deep-Cheeps can't turn around, but Cheep-Chomps can .

Mario Party 7

In Mario Party 7, Cheep-Cheeps appear in many Mimi-Games, including Fish & Cheeps, Bridge Work, and Be My Chum. There is also a Cheep-Cheep in the Grand Canal that will squirt the player back to the start who lands on the ? space in front of what looks like the leaning tower of Pisa.

Super Mario Galaxy

Cheep-Cheeps reappeared in Super Mario Galaxy acting the same way as before in old games.

Other Games

Cheep-Cheeps are also found in many Mario Kart courses, referred to as Flopping Cheep Cheeps in Super Mario Kart. In the mission 1-4 in Mario Kart DS, the player's task is to defeat five Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps have also appeared in the Mario Party Series, having several roles, mostly in mini-games involving catching or dodging Cheep-Cheeps. In Mario Kart Wii, the is a car called the Cheep Charger. It resembles a cheep cheep with a seat, stirring wheel, and wheels.

Language

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 natively 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 Sashimie wrote to Sushie is written in Mario's language.

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A round fish with big eyes. Although mainly aquatic, Cheep Cheeps sometimes attack above land like flying fish, at which point Mario can stomp on them. There are a wide variety of Cheep Cheep variations, including spiked ones and enormous ones.''

Forms of Attack

Cheep-Cheeps dtyle of attacking has never really changed; ever since they were introduced in Super Mario Bros, they have always been generally slow swimmers, and attack by slowly swimming towards you. Although, sometimes, Cheep-Cheeps may randomly pop out of lava or water; flying for a second or so and then falling back down to the water.
