This article is about the fish enemy found throughout the Mario franchise. For the avian enemy in Super Mario Sunshine sometimes named "Cheep Cheep", see Hatopop.

Cheep Cheeps (sometimes formatted as Cheep-Cheeps or Cheep-cheeps) are pufferfish[1] that made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. in the underwater levels.

Profile[]

Cheep Cheeps are common recurring enemies throughout the 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 gray, green, light-blue, magenta, blue, orange, yellow, black, purple, brown, and indigo. 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 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 the wing-like fins, which behave similarly. Most Cheep Cheeps appear to be affiliated with Bowser and the Koopa Troop, while some, such as the ones seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, are not. In most of the games they are in, Cheep Cheeps possess a wide variety of attacks, typically regarding jumping behavior.

Main appearances[]

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

In Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Cheep-cheeps are found in the underwater levels, swimming towards the player in either a straight line or a wavy pattern, and they can only be defeated with a fireball, or if Mario is invincible. They are found in all of the water levels, first appearing in World 2-2 in Super Mario Bros., and can usually be seen with Bloobers. In World 2-3 and World 7-3, red Cheep-cheeps become less predictable obstacles by leaping from the bottom of the screen.[2] These can be defeated in a single jump, but it is 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. Since the game cannot allow more than three enemies appear onscreen at the same time due to the limitations of the NES' game engine, only three Cheep Cheeps are ever allowed onscreen at a time, regardless of the fact that they are always spawned infinitely in all of their appearances in that game.

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 and moves more slowly. A single green one is located off-screen in World 2-3.[3] The gray ones are recolored green in Super Mario All-Stars. This is actually a holdover from the fact that the "orange and gray" palette used underwater in the original occupies 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.

In the English instruction booklet, Cheep-cheeps are specifically referred to as female. However, later games have both male and female members.

In the Super Mario All-Stars version of The Lost Levels, the fake Bowser fought at the end of World B-4 is actually a green Cheep-cheep.

In the You VS. Boo mode of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, the fake Bowser fought at the end of World 1-4 is actually a green Cheep-cheep.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Cheep-Cheeps appear in red and green variants. Of these two colors, only the latter ever appears in an underwater-themed level, specifically World 3-5 and World 6-9, the latter of which doubles as a cave level. The red ones usually swim under the water before leaping from it in order to hit Mario; however, some constantly bounce along the surface and make an especially large leap once they approach Mario; others jump between small portions of water, and cannot be seen underwater. Still others use the original behavior of leaping from the bottom of the screen at random, and can additionally do this over lava. The green ones simply swim back and forth slowly in small bodies of water, and in the original appear cyan in fortresses. The game was also to include golden-yellow Cheep-Cheeps, which were to move even faster than green Cheep-Cheeps and appear in trios moving in a wavy pattern, but they were taken out due to unknown reasons. In reissues, they are still present in the game's hardware, but they remain unused.

This game also introduces infant and giant versions of Cheep-Cheep - Baby Cheep and its parent, Big Bertha, as well as the predatory Boss Bass. Big Bertha and Boss Bass essentially act as enlarged versions of the green and red Cheep Cheeps, respectively, despite both being red themselves. Spiny Cheep-Cheeps also debut in this game, but the NES manual simply calls them "Cheep-cheeps," describing them as thorny. They attack by swimming quickly from one end of the screen to the other, never turning.

In addition to the GBA version's golden yellow Cheep-Cheeps being unused, 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, 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[]

In Super Mario World, Cheep Cheeps appear as a slow-moving fish found swimming back and forth underwater, though in the Forest of Illusion, they are sometimes found in floating bubbles over land. If Cheep Cheeps are on land flipping around, Mario or Luigi can simply touch them to defeat them. They can also be defeated with a Cape, Yoshi, or fireballs. In some levels, the underwater Cheep Cheeps have the ability to leap up vertically every so often. Near the end of Awesome, they leap from the bottom of the screen endlessly like in the first game, though relevant artwork depicts the related Blurp instead. They only appear in one color (using the game's yellow palette), with the alternate behavior of swimming forward endlessly being given to Blurp. Their underwater sprites depict them having anal fins, although this trait is not carried over on land. They are one of the few enemies to not appear in the game's ending.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins[]

Gray Cheep-Cheep

In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Cheep-Cheeps appear in the Macro and Turtle Zones. Some Cheep-Cheeps swim back and forth in the water, while others swim up and down. Among the other fish, they are accompanied by Blurps. They can be defeated with a shell, with a fireball or by touching them while invincible. Their in-game sprite resembles their appearance from Super Mario World. A pufferfish version of Spiny Cheep-Cheeps also make an appearance.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[]

In Super Mario 64, two Cheep Cheeps (known here as Bubs[4]) appear in Dire, Dire Docks. They are colored orange in this game, have visible scales, have red fins and tail, and wear large goggles, causing them to resemble orange Blurps more than typical Cheep Cheeps. They typically swim around aimlessly through the water, though they may slowly approach Mario. However, if Mario touches one, he will be damaged, thus losing health. They are also indestructible. The Player's Guide describes a Bub as "one cool koi."

In Super Mario 64 DS, Bubs were redesigned to closer resemble the Cheep Cheeps in Super Mario Bros.'s artwork, a design that they keep in most following games. Here, they pose even less of a threat to the protagonists as they do not swim higher or lower from their starting position, though they still cause the heroes to lose health if they run into them.

Super Mario Sunshine[]

There are three varieties of Cheep-Cheeps in Super Mario Sunshine. A scarlet variety is found in Ricco Harbor, Noki Bay, and sometimes during the King Boo fight in Sirena Beach; a fiery, dark-purple variant lives in the lava in Corona Mountain; and a magenta variety (also known as Tobi Fish[5] or Toki Fish[6]) can be found in Gelato Beach, Noki Bay and Delfino Airstrip. The BradyGames guide refers to both the scarlet and magenta varieties as Tobi Fish.[7]

The scarlet and charred varieties make leaps of various heights 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 will flop about upside down. The magenta 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 is unknown if Yoshi can defeat them since they are found in deep waters that Mario typically cannot reach with Yoshi. They have wider lips like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and 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.[]

Cheep Cheep NSMB

In New Super Mario Bros., Cheep-Cheeps behave the same way as in other platformers and have a larger version. However, two types are introduced: the Deep-Cheep and Spike Bass. Deep-Cheeps and returning Cheep-Chomps chase Mario when they appear on-screen. Deep-Cheeps cannot turn around, but Cheep-Chomps can. The Deep-Cheep also has a 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. In World 2-4, a Cheep-Cheep with a different behavior appears in a bonus area. It swims in a wavy line and trails six coins behind it.

The artwork for the game depicts Cheep-Cheeps as having light pink lips, which is how they appear in most following titles. In-game, however, their lips are a deep orange.

Super Mario Galaxy[]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in Super Mario Galaxy. 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 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. They are also seen in the epilogue, jumping out of the water near Peach's Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]

Cheep Cheeps also reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, there are four colors of Cheep Cheep: red, green, golden-yellow, and violet, the last of which have spines on them.

The red Cheep Cheeps behave just like they do in the original New Super Mario Bros.

The golden-yellow colored Cheep Cheeps, Eep Cheeps, are always found in schools. 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 unused golden-yellow Cheep-Cheeps of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but are much more common than in its predecessor. They appear in water-themed galaxies such as Cosmic Cove Galaxy and Starshine Beach Galaxy, but they don't hop on land. They are now found swimming near the surface and can be defeated by a spin, jump, or by Yoshi's tongue. They cannot be stunned with a Star Bit. A few are swimming in vertical loops in a side-scrolling portion of Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet as well.

Super Mario 3D Land[]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in Super Mario 3D Land as underwater enemies in some of the levels, like Worlds 3-2 and 7-1. They can also jump out of water. This time, stomping on a Cheep Cheep underwater will not harm Mario or Luigi but bounce them up slightly. 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.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[]

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 golden. In this state, they are followed by a row of five coins. There are also some that swim in a circle similar to the Circling Boo Buddies. Several Cheep Cheeps also appear during Wendy O. Koopa's boss battle when she whistles them to attack.

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 and are immune to fireballs.

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

Cheep Cheeps appear in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, but only in the first half of Pipeline Lagoon. They behave exactly the same as in Super Mario 3D Land. However, in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, a regional variant with cat ears and tails appear somewhat uncommonly throughout Lake Lapcat, swimming around platforms lightly submerged in water. Just like in the base game, Cat Cheep Cheeps remain unchanged in behavior compared to prior appearances.

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

SMM-SMB-DeepCheep
SMM 30th Red Cheep Cheep
SMM 30th Green Cheep Cheep

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 their green variant (replacing the gray Cheep Cheeps from the original Super Mario Bros.), 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 wavy 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. When placed in a pipe, green ones will come out endlessly, though red ones will only come out three times until one is defeated. When Mario collects the Big Mushroom after scanning the 30th Anniversary Mario amiibo, the Cheep Cheeps have a mustache and ring-shaped lips similar to their modern design.

Super Mario Odyssey[]

Cheep Cheeps (parsed as "CheepCheeps" on the promotional world map) appear in Super Mario Odyssey, where they are found in the Lake Kingdom and the Seaside Kingdom. They behave in the same way they usually do in their previous 3D appearances, swimming back and forth in a predictable pattern, although this time, they can be captured by Mario, which allows him to swim quicker and breathe underwater. While captured, the player can also make the Cheep Cheep perform a spin attack by shaking the Joy-Con or Pro Controller. Captured Cheep Cheeps also produce a beam of light in the direction they are facing, similar to the shells from the Super Mario Galaxy games. 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 violet Cheep Cheep variety known as a Snow Cheep Cheep, also referred to as Cheep Cheep (Snow Kingdom) by the Capture List, appears in the Snow Kingdom. 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[]

Cheep Cheeps reappear in Super Mario Maker 2 as enemies, retaining their behavior in its predecessor. They now appear in the Super Mario 3D World game style and, in the Course Maker, belong in the enemy category and can be given a parachute. In addition, if placed in poison in the Night mode of forest theme in Super Mario Maker 2, Cheep Cheeps become engulfed in poison. While retaining their attack pattern, Cheep Cheeps only become immune to stomps. When Mario collects the Big Mushroom, the Cheep Cheeps no longer have a mustache and ring-shaped lips similar to their modern design.

Cheep Cheeps also swim in the air during airship and sky courses set at night. Green Cheep Cheeps also appear in the Super Mario 3D World style, despite not appearing in the original game.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[]

Cheep Cheeps return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Unlike in previous 2D Mario games, they can be defeated underwater by stomping on them.[8]
