A '''Boss Bass''' ("Kyodai Pukupuku ♂" in Japan) is a huge [[Cheep-Cheep]] found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They swim on the surface of the water trying to lunge out and eat [[Mario]] when he gets too close. In some of the levels, platforms rise and fall, making Mario an easy target. Throwing blocks and [[fireball]]s can defeat them, but they'll eventually come back. However, in the GBA version, if the player has set on the e-reader card that will make enemies hit by fireballs turn into coins, and the player successfully hits Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, Boss Bass will not return for the rest of the level.

The [[Cheep-Chomp]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' has similar qualities to the Boss Bass. Another enemy in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', [[Spike Bass]]es, patrol the surface of water levels, similar to the Boss Bass. However, Spike Basses will not try to eat Mario.
