Cheep Cheep Shot is a mid-boss battle mini-game against Cheep Cheep in Mario Party 9. It is mainly played in Solo mode, in which the Cheep Cheep is fought in Blooper Beach as a boss. In Party mode, it is always available on Blooper Beach and has a 50% chance to be available on other boards.
Introduction[]
The Cheep Cheep that serves as the characters' opponent swims around only to notice the characters and turn his attention toward them.
Gameplay[]
The objective is to hit Cheep Cheep with Koopa Shells. Every shell that hits Cheep Cheep is worth three points. The Cheep Cheep may occasionally attempt to ram the players, taking a point away if his ramming attack hits them. The player can anticipate the Cheep Cheep's ramming attack by watching him turn around furiously.
When his health drops below half, the Cheep Cheep is more likely to move recklessly, making it harder to aim the shell. It will also jump out of the water and land into the water. The player can avoid the Cheep Cheep by watching his shadow as he surges out of the water, as it heads over to where the Cheep Cheep will land.
Ending[]
When he is defeated, the Cheep Cheep doubles back in pain.
In-game text[]
"Grab shells and fire them at Cheep Cheep as fast as you can while avoiding his attacks."
"Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Tilt it in the direction you want your character to move. Swim into a shell to pick it up. Press Two Button to throw shells."
