Cheepskipper is a species of Cheep-Cheep who is the boss of World 3 in New Super Mario Bros. It appears to be a giant purple Cheep-Cheep with a white underbelly. It also has yellow spots, a yellow fin, red lips, and two giant sharp fangs. Cheepskipper attacks at first by jumping out of the water and bouncing once on the bridge and back into the water. Cheepskipper always bounces out from right to left. When Cheepskipper jumps out, Mario or Luigi have their chance of jumping on it to attack it. Normal Cheep-Cheeps also launch themselves at Mario/Luigi as well. These small fish are swift and attack in large numbers, making them rather hard to dodge. After jumping on it three times, or hitting it with nine fireballs, Cheepskipper is defeated and gives Mario and Luigi the key to access World 5.

Battle[]

Cheepskipper is a formidable foe so play close attention to his attacks. During the battle, he is aided by several smaller Cheep-Cheeps which hop out of the water to attack (these Cheep-Cheeps can be annoying to avoid but can be defeated with any attack, it's highly recommended to take out the Cheep-Cheeps as they can become a nuisance if left alone). Cheepskipper will either hop straight out at you or he will bounce along the bridge before dipping back into the water below. Whenever the Cheepskipper jumps across the bridge, stomp on him, do this three times to finish him off. Additionally, ground pounding him twice, pelting him with fireballs or stomping him with the effects of a Mega Mushroom. If you've entered the fight as Shell Mario, you can also slide back and forth and hit him as he bounces along the bridge, upon defeat Cheepskipper will explode and leave behind the key providing access to World 5.
