[[File:Cheep cheep.png|thumb|A giant Cheep-cheep ramming into the ship]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', two abnormally-large Cheep-cheeps appear when [[Mario]] and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] search for the [[Super Star|star]] underwater. The first one chases after the pair mistake an angler fish for the star. It takes the appearance of a giant flat fish that puffs itself up until it explodes into many smaller versions of itself that rapidly bounce around the screen, hitting Mario six times. The second one also chases after Mario and Kibidango manage to retrieve the star from a [[clam]], this time not as a flat fish. Mario and Kibidango swim away to a sunken ship. The Cheep-cheep rams the ship five times, causing it to also burst into smaller versions of itself, which do not hit Mario this time. This forces the sail down, making the ship begin to rise.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Boss Bass and Big Bertha act as the  "giant" counterpart to the jumping and swimming Cheep Cheeps, respectively. Despite gaining different names in localization, they are the same enemy.<ref>「水面を移動し、ジャンプして<span class="explain"title="おそ">襲</span>いかかってくる。水中にいることもある。」 (''Moving along the water surface, it jumps to attack.

The aggressive Boss Bass (also known as '''Big Bass'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 21.</ref>) quickly swims along the water's surface in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Worlds 3-3]] and [[World 3-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|3-8]], trying to leap out and eat [[Mario]] if he gets too close. It defeats Mario instantly in one gulp regardless of his form. In both of the stages it appears in, the water level rises and sinks, making Mario an easy target. Throwing blocks, shells, [[hammer]]s, and [[fireball]]s at the Boss Bass can defeat it, as well as tail attacks and using a [[Super Star|Starman]], but it eventually comes back. However, in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', if the player has turned on [[Orange Switch|the e-Reader card]] that makes enemies hit by [[fireball]]s turn into [[coin]]s, and the player successfully hits the Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, the Boss Bass does not return for the rest of the level.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Mega Cheep-Cheeps are about 3 1/3 times larger than normal Cheep-Cheeps. Along with [[Big Deep Cheep|Mega Deep-Cheep]]s, they are the largest Cheep-Cheeps in the game, even larger than the boss [[Cheepskipper]]. They will not target [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], but instead will follow a path oblivious to them, just like normal Cheep-Cheeps. Mega Cheep-Cheeps are colored red and are similar to Big Berthas. Each one is usually followed by about three Cheep-Cheeps. Mega Cheep-Cheeps are only used as a large counterpart to swimming Cheep-Cheeps; the larger counterpart for the jumping Cheep-Cheeps is instead [[Spike Bass]], which has the additional trait of being unsafe to jump on. However, panorama artwork in the game's manual depicts a jumping Mega Cheep-Cheep, using the same artwork as normal-sized Cheep-Cheeps.

'''Bertha''', a character influenced by the Big Bertha species, plays a prominent role in two ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' stories. In her first appearance, [[Love Flounders]], she falls in love with [[Frog Mario]] after being tricked by [[Stanley the Talking Fish]]. She eventually realizes Stanley was lying, but is consoled by Mario, who states he wants to be friends with Bertha, not lovers. Bertha later reappears in [[Fins and Roses]], this time dating Stanley. She foils [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s plans by knocking the Koopa's bomb back at her.
