Cheep Chomp: Difference between revisions

Cheep-Chomps (called as such for the first time) appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] swim too close to a Cheep-Chomp, it follows him, opens its mouth as it makes a high-pitched scream, 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.
