Cheep-Cheeps (Japanese プクプク Pukupuku) are fish that made their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. in the underwater levels. They are common recurring enemies throughout the Mario series.

In Super Mario Bros., Cheep-Cheeps are found in the underwater levels, where they can only be defeated with a fireball. In some levels Cheep-Cheeps jump off from the bottom of the screen creating random obstacles. In Super Mario Bros. 3 they act the same but can also jump out of water and lava. In Super Mario World, they posed a numerous threat as the white, slow-moving fish found underwater and in floating bubbles, though they were not included in the credits. Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins again featured Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps impeded Mario's progress through the Macro and Turtle Zones by swimming back and forth in the water, like a Goomba. Among the other fish, they were accompanied by similar-looking Blurps. They could be destroyed by a tossed Green Shell or a fireball.

Super Mario Sunshine

Cheep-Cheeps are found in Ricco Harbor and Noki Bay in the game Super Mario Sunshine. While they mostly just flail, they cause Mario to spin when they touch him. They can be defeated with FLUDD, but will reappear almost instantly. Yoshis can turn them into platforms by spraying them with certain fruit juice.

Paper Mario series

Template:Catch Card In the Paper Mario series, Cheep-Cheeps are considerably more intelligent than their predecessors, and are able to speak, as well as, strangely enough, safely live and travel about on land. As indicated in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, many even have jobs, such as blimp conductor and chef. Most significant of these land-dwelling fishes is Sushie, a female Cheep-Cheep who was among Mario's many partners in Paper Mario. Cheep-Cheeps also appear as enemies in Super Paper Mario, though they were allies in the first two games.

Super Mario Galaxy

Cheep-Cheeps reappeared in Super Mario Galaxy acting the same way as before in old games.

Other Games

Cheep-Cheeps are also found in many Mario Kart courses, referred to as Flopping Cheep Cheeps in Super Mario Kart. In the mission 1-4 in Mario Kart DS, the player's task is to defeat five Cheep-Cheeps. Cheep-Cheeps have also appeared in the Mario Party Series, having several roles, mostly in mini-games involving catching Cheep-Cheeps.

Language

According to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Cheep-Cheeps have their own language, which is also called "Cheep-Cheep". This language is presumably spoken natively by Cheep Cheeps, and it is only partly heard through the character Chef Shimi (who often mixes words, such as "saved" and "shaved", up due to his unique language knowledge). However, in Paper Mario, the letter Sashimie wrote to Sushie is written in Mario's language.
