Cheep Chomp: Difference between revisions

'''Cheep Chomps''' (also parsed as '''Cheep-Chomps'''),<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref><ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> originally called '''Bubbas''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are big relatives of [[Cheep Cheep]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They closely resemble [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in later appearances, and much like Boss Basses, they attempt to eat [[Mario]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] swim too close to a Cheep-Chomp, it follows him, opens its mouth, and tries to eat him. If Mario or Luigi is eaten, they lose a life. They can be defeated, like all other fish, with a [[fireball]] or as [[Mega Mario|Mega Mario/Luigi]]. Only three appear in the entire game, all of them appearing in the same level: [[World 3-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. Additionally, it is the first game to give it its current English name and design, which is based on the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' incarnation except retextured purple with a turquoise tail and dorsal fin, likely so players can more easily distinguish them from the less-aggressive [[Big Cheep Cheep|Mega Cheep-Cheep]]. Incidentally, their coloration is somewhat reminiscent of [[Blurp]]. They are about three times as large as Cheep-Cheeps in this game.

Cheep Chomps once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. One makes its first appearance early in [[World 1-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-5]]. When defeated, it releases three [[coin]]s. They reappear as common enemies in [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-5]]. Another appears in [[Impossible Pack#Course 1|course one]] of the Impossible Pack, near two whirlpools. Like in the previous game, they are the largest Cheep Cheeps, being about 3 1/4 times as large as normal Cheep Cheeps.
