'''Peepas''' are [[Boo]]-like enemies debuting in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are small, white ghosts with stubby arms, black eyes with white pupils and a permanently smiling mouth which shows its two teeth. As ghostly enemies that have an appearance different from most Boos and often travel in predetermined paths, Peepas are somewhat similar to [[Eerie]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Peepas are exclusive to the [[Ghost House]]s found in the game. These enemies are usually found alongside [[Boo]]s. Peepas do not directly attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] when they get too close, but rather stay in a stationary position or move in a set area, making them more of an obstacle rather than an enemy. Sometimes, several Peepas encircle a select area similar to the [[Octoboo]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. A Peepa can only be defeated by running into it while under the effects of a [[Super Star]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====

Peepas reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Unlike in previous games, they can be defeated by the light of a [[Light Box]]. Here, they make a unique distorted sound effect when defeated. This is also the first game where Peepas are shown with an expression other than their usual grin; as they make a terrified face when they are being illuminated by a Light Box.

 

In ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', a trait from ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' has been added; in the [[Captain Toad's Adventures]] levels, Captain Toad's headlamp can now defeat Peepas and [[Boo]]s similarly to the Light Box.

Peepas made their [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] debut in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. They replace [[Red Boo|Red Boos]] from previous games. In the [[minigame]] [[Get Reel]], a few can be seen inhabiting the corridor, where they end up chasing Mario. They also appear in the minigames [[Horror Harriers]] and [[Peep a Peepa]], where players have to avoid them and shine a light on them, respectively.

Peepas appear as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]], behaving the same way as in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''. They can be defeated if [[Captain Toad]] or [[Toadette]] shine their headlamps on them for long enough. Additionally, using a [[Double Cherry]] to shine two headlamps on a Peepa will defeat it much faster, within a quarter of a second.

===''Super Mario-kun''===

A Peepa appears in volume 46 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It encourages a [[Tail Boo]] to scare Mario. At the end of the chapter, the Peepa gets buried by an avalanche along with the Tail Boo, the [[Big Boo|Tail Boo's father]], and the Bros.

Peepas appear as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode effect increases the player's base score for every green [[virus]] that is eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance one of the viruses that appear is transformed into an [[exploder]] when all viruses in the player's play area are eliminated. The amount of points gained and the chance of an exploder appearing are increased at higher levels, starting from 50 points and 20% respectively to 200 points and 100% respectively. Peepas also appear as background objects in [[World 4 (Dr. Mario World)|World 4]] when all stages are cleared.

 

Peepas were going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', but they were [[List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam pre-release and unused content#Unused_graphics|removed from the game for unknown reasons]]; however, the unused Peepa graphics can be found with the Boo graphics.
