'''Porcupuffers''' (alternatively '''Porcu-Puffers''') are a species of [[Cheep Cheep]]s that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They resemble gigantic indigo Cheep Cheeps, with magenta lips and indigo, cyan, and yellow spikes all over their back. Their faces are nearly identical to those of [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]]es and [[Cheep Chomp]]s, but did not try to eat [[Mario]] until ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Porcupuffers sometimes serve as the giant counterpart to regular Cheep Cheeps, such as in ''Super Mario World'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "porcupine" and "{{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}};" this combined with the Japanese name also suggests an intentional reference to [[Porcupo]]. | '''Porcupuffers''' (alternatively '''Porcu-Puffers''') are a species of [[Cheep Cheep]]s that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Porcu-Puffers appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they follow Mario and [[Luigi]] in the water. The Mario Bros. can perform the [[Spin Jump]] on them to "ride" them, or use [[Yoshi]]. They appear in three levels: [[Vanilla Secret 3|the third secret level]] on top of the [[Vanilla Dome]], a secret area in the [[Cookie Mountain]] level, and a hidden area within [[Chocolate Island 1]].

The in-game sprite depicts them with magenta lips, while the artwork depicts them with yellow lips. | ||

Porcupuffers later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', inhabiting underwater and beach levels. They retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In this game, Porcupuffers swim back and forth while underwater, while in [[World 6-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6-1]], they jump out of the water in specific locations attempting to hurt Mario, and may even break some portions of the bridge he uses to reach the end of the level. Aside from the bridge-breaking, these behaviors are shared by this game's Cheep Cheeps, making them functionally similar to a [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]] in this game, albeit with spikes. | Porcupuffers later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', inhabiting underwater and beach levels.

Porcupuffers appear as enemies that can be placed in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' stages. Despite debuting in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', they are exclusive to the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Unlike in the original game, Porcupuffers will actively pursue Mario and attempt to eat him, like a Cheep Chomp. In non-underwater themes, they will act like a slow Boss Bass, briefly hovering at their jumps' peaks if they are given wings. It takes four consecutive fireballs from [[Fire Mario]] to defeat Porcupuffers. After one fireball, it will darken, puff up slightly, and no longer try to eat Mario, though it will still pursue him. Each fireball afterwards makes it more red and swollen. Once | Porcupuffers appear as enemies that can be placed in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' stages.

Each fireball afterwards makes it more red and swollen until it pops. Once one pops, it will not be replaced by another, unlike most appearances. When it pops, it will destroy any nearby [[Brick Block]]s. Akin to regular Cheep Cheeps, a Porcupuffer will catch fire if submerged in lava, therefore becoming immune to fireballs. They cannot be placed in pipes. | ||
