'''Blurps''' are green colored, goggle-wearing fish that sometimes appear in underwater levels alongside [[Cheep Cheep]]s, of which they seem to be relatives, judging by their similar names in Japanese.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' ====
[[File:BlurpL.gif|frame]]
Blurps first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they act as a behavioral variant for [[Cheep Cheep]]s, which in this game have only one coloration. Blurps swim endlessly in one direction, injuring [[Mario]] if one collides with him. They typically bob up and down a small bit as they swim. As Blurps are fairly weak, they can simply be defeated by shooting a [[fireball]] at them as [[Fire Mario]] or by bashing them with a cape as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]. Blurps lack pectoral fins on their sprites in this game, but have them on their artwork. They sweat while they swim, implying that swimming as fast as they do puts some amount of strain on them. They reappear in the game's [[reissue]], ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', where, like most other enemies, they can be held in [[Yoshi]]'s mouth and spat out if [[Luigi]] rides him, which in their case can be used to defeat [[Urchin]]s.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:SML2 Artwork - Blurp.png|thumb|Artwork of a Blurp from ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''.]]

Blurps make a reappearance as underwater enemies in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Much like their ''Super Mario World'' counterparts, Blurps aimlessly swim in one direction and can be defeated by a fireball. In this game, they occasionally pause in their swimming. Blurps are found primarily in the [[Turtle Zone]], and also appear in [[Pumpkin Zone]] alongside statues of them and Cheep Cheeps. They again lack pectoral fins in-game, but still have them on the artwork. Additionally, their artwork depicts them as light teal with pink goggles and white lips instead of the normal grassy green with orange goggles and golden lips.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Blurps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', replacing green Cheep Cheeps in the ''Super Mario World'' style. However, the voice heard when placing elements onto the course will still call them Cheep Cheeps. Like the other green Cheep Cheeps in the game, they swim back-and-forth a short distance while underwater, and simply hop along the bottom of the screen otherwise.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Blurps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they retain their behavior in its predecessor; they are still simply referred to as Cheep Cheeps, including in the description for the official course [[River Fish in the Forest]].

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:BlurpCartoon.jpg|thumb|A Blurp in the ''Super Mario World'' television series episode "[[Mama Luigi]]".]]
What appears to be a Blurp appears in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" where [[Luigi]] is attacked by one, but defeats it with a single stomp. The appearance of the Blurp is closer to that of a [[Trouter]] from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. Like its game appearance, the Blurp is green in color, has orange fins, and red lips, but the goggles are replaced with large white rings around yellow eyes, it lacks the white on its belly, and it has four sharp teeth.

===''Mario & Wario''===
Blurps cameo in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' as a background element of [[Pukupuku Kai]], the sixth stage.

===''Mario Party 3''===
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a Blurp can be seen in the scenery for [[Deep Bloober Sea]], alongside some similar-designed Cheep Cheeps.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
[[File:MLSSBMSandCheep.png|frame|A Sand Cheep]]
A sand-dwelling variety of Blurp known as the [[Sand Cheep]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. It appears to be a normal Blurp with a fake shark fin strapped to its back. It later appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' where it is thrown by [[Shrooba Diver]]s.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
[[File:MLSSBMSandCheep.png|frame|A Sand Cheep]]
A sand-dwelling variety of Blurp known as the [[????|Sand Cheep]] appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. It appears to be a normal Blurp with a fake shark fin strapped to its back. It later appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' where it is thrown by [[Shrooba Diver]]s.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Like various enemies of ''Super Mario World'', Blurps also return in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Some of them are affected by the [[rage]] vibe of the [[Vibe Scepter]] and are called [[Mad Blurp]]s. They will pursue [[Princess Peach|Peach]] if she is in front of them. They are mainly encountered in groups. In this game, they have pectoral fins, but are colored white.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bub 64.png|frame|A "[[Cheep Cheep|Bub]]" from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]
*In ''[[Mario Mania]]'', the names for Blurp and Cheep Cheep are swapped,<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Mario Mania]]''|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=51}}</ref> which may relate to how [[Big Cheep Cheep|large Cheep Cheeps]] were misidentified as "Blurps" in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', as well as throughout ''[[Nintendo Power Advance]]'' V.4's coverage of ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''.
*This iteration of the Cheep Cheep found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', known in English as "Bub," appears to be primarily visually based off Blurp, but orange instead of green. This design is additionally used in the first three ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games. ''Super Mario 64'' also introduces another eyewear-wearing fish called [[Cheep Chomp|Bubba]] with a similar Japanese name to Blurp, ''Bakubaku''. In fact, Bubba's name in source assets is simply "<tt>buku</tt>," indicating that at some point in development it may have been simply intended as Blurp.
