Trivia

 * The name "Eep-Cheep" is a combination of the word "Cheep-Cheep" and "eep" - a short scream of discomfort when frightened easily in reference to the Eep-Cheeps nature of running away from Mario and living in schools for protection.
 * While New Super Mario Bros. U officially names the enemies Eep-Cheep, they were referred to as Golden Cheep-Cheeps in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
