Talk:Cheep Chomp

I don't think this is called a Cheep-Chomp. It probably is a Big Bertha (fish) or a Boss Bass. It does have one tooth and some shoot Baby Cheeps just like the two other big fish. The only difference is the color. I think this is too similiar to be a separate specie. I'll leave it for now until someone finds an official name.--Spike


 * I believe this is the official name (and as such is a seperate enemy). If someone has the Player's Guide it would be very helpful (as all the enemies in the game are listed in it). -- Son of Suns


 * Huh, yeah you are right. According to this site it is named "Cheep-Chomp".Spike[[Image:Spike_sheild_badge.PNG]]

If these are Cheep-Chomps, then what are the aquatic Chomps that bite you for one damage when you fall in the water in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door?

It says in the article they appear in new Super Mario bros Wii.I can't find them anywhere in New Super Mario Bros Wii.--Swooper888 20:38, 25 December 2009 (EST)

Never mind I found them--Swooper888 00:08, 26 December 2009 (EST)

smaller ones
I remember encountering smaller versions of Cheep-Chomps? What game are they in and what are they called?

Question
If Cheep Chomp is a Cheep Cheep, what is that small purple Cheep Cheep? A PORCUPUFFER? --WhiteYoshi2014 (talk) 20:43, 1 July 2014 (EDT) "Yoshi Ranger strikes again! Remember kids, only you can prevent burnt Marios."

Cheep Chomp = Bubba?
So, as I was searching the Internet for any Japanese names of the enemies that didn't have theirs mentioned here yet, I came across this interesting discovery: Cheep Chomp and Bubba have the same Japanese name, バクバク (bakubaku) which is onomatopoeia for chomping. It appears that "Bubba" was only a localisation of some kind for Cheep Chomp, which has since Super Mario 64 gone through design changes. The behavior of these two is also similar.

What should be done with this? Merge the two pages or keep them separate with the mention of the possible connection? I mean, I'm not making the proposal yet, still deciding on that. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 05:43, 14 October 2014 (EDT)


 * I'd seek a merge since they also practically have the same function/main attack, but a proposal would be best since concensus might instead be that they don't look similar enough (although this isn't as big a difference as some others). LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:01, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

There's something else I forgot to mention: There's also a boss going by a similar name. That boss's English name? Bessie Bass.

So now it's not just "Cheep Chomp = Bubba?", it's "Boss Bass and Big Bertha = Cheep Chomp = Bubba?" That won't be easy to swallow if I make the proposal. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 06:11, 17 October 2014 (EDT)
 * According to Japanese Wikipedia, Boss Bass and Big Bertha are "Kyodai Pukupuku" or "Giant Pukupuku" (巨大プクプク), while Bessie Bass is "Big Bakubaku" (ビッグバクバク) - and it also describes Bakubaku as both Bubba and Cheep Chomp, as well as the version of Boss Bass from Yoshi's Island DS. So from this, it seems like Kyodai Pukupuku was its original name, and then it was changed to Bakubaku at some point. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2014 (EDT)
 * Also, the Bub enemy from Super Mario 64 is indeed a Cheep Cheep like in the Japanese version and their appearance in Mario Party 3, which further explains why their designs were "replaced" in Super Mario 64 DS. At the very least, I think that deserves a merge considering they were called Cheep Cheeps in the English version of the latter game. (I've also checked in this extensive Mario series dictionary, and it reaches the same conclusion as the above.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:30, 21 October 2014 (EDT)
