'''Puffer-Cheeps''' are purple varieties of [[Cheep Cheep]]s that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are found on the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]]. The [[Nintendo Power]] guide refers to the [[Sand Cheep]] as a "Puffer-Cheep"<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Nintendo Power|The Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]. Page 88</ref> or '''Puffer Cheep'''<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Nintendo Power|The Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]. Page 127</ref>; the 'actual' Puffer-Cheeps are erroneously referred to as "'''Puffy Cheeps'''".<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Nintendo Power|The Official Nintendo Player's Guide]].

These Cheep Cheeps attack at first by ramming into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], who have to [[jump]] to avoid or counter it; Ifidamaged, the Puffer-Cheep puffs itself up, revealing spines that prevent the Mario Bros. from jumping on it. In this form, it will attempt to ram into the Mario Bros. again, which must be countered with the [[hammer]] this time; the Bros. will be [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]] if the attack hits or if they attempt to jump on it without the proper badge. If the Puffer-Cheep is damaged again, it reverts back to its original Cheep Cheep form, which was simply called "Cheep Cheep". If it is jumped on without the proper badge or hits a Bro, they may become [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]].
