In battle, Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones appear under the name '''????'''; only their dorsal fins are visible, making it hard to tell them apart. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the tops of any Sand Cheeps present are visible for a few seconds at the start of the battle, hinting at their position. Sand Cheeps attack by swimming through the sand to approach one of the Mario Bros.; unlike Sharkbones, they will immediately leap out of the sand and over the target brother. This is designed to contrast with the Sharkbone, whose attack can only be dodged or countered by [[jump]]ing, as Mario or Luigi will take damage if they jump into the Sand Cheep. Any Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps that have attacked and were not defeated will promptly shuffle positions after their turn, making it harder to track them.

If the brothers perform a [[Thunder Bros.]] attack or an [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] attack on a group of Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones, any Sharkbones that are hit will immediately attack Mario and/or Luigi, revealing the non-attacking fish to be Sand Cheeps. In addition, targeting one of the underground enemies with the Advanced Thunder Bros. and [[Chopper Bros.]] attacks will reveal their identity as Luigi uppercuts them out of the ground.
