Variants

Eep Cheeps[1] are a variant of Cheep Cheep that is orange in color and has a lighter yellow color to its fin. Unlike other types of Cheep Cheeps, they swim away from Mario when he gets close. Their name is a combination of the species name "Cheep Cheep" and "eep," a short scream of fright in reference to their "cowardly" demeanor.

History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Eep Cheep from New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Eep Cheeps first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They swim away from the player whenever they get close, which is the opposite of Deep-Cheeps and their behavior. They only appear in World 1-4, and whenever there is a riff in the music, Eep Cheeps will twirl like their regular counterpart.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Eep Cheeps return in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, and their Nintendo Switch version. They retain their behavior and appearance from New Super Mario Bros. Wii in all three games. New Super Luigi U additionally introduces larger versions of them.

Minecraft

In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in Minecraft, Clownfish are replaced with Eep Cheeps.

Mario Kart Tour

While no actual Eep Cheeps make an appearance in Mario Kart Tour, one of the masks used in the Cheep Cheep Masks glider is designed after an Eep Cheep.

LEGO Super Mario

Eep Cheeps appear in the LEGO Super Mario Character Pack (Series 1) as one of nine possible blind bag characters.

Other appearances

Unused sprite from Super Mario Bros. 3An unused golden Cheep Cheep from Super Mario All-Stars

Though first seen in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the concept of orange-colored Cheep Cheeps was originally meant to be in Super Mario Bros. 3 (as seen on the picture on the right), released 21 years prior, where these enemies would have come in groups of three and swam faster than green ones. While they are technically more of a tan color in the original due to sharing a palette with Goombas, Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 color it orange despite it still being unused. Eep Cheeps also go unused in New Super Mario Bros. 2, though they would function just as they do in the other games they appear in.[2]

Eep Cheep artwork in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

The twelfth Fishing Tourney in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp that began on March 14, 2019 featured Eep Cheeps alongside regular Cheep Cheeps, Cheep Chomps, and Bloopers, owing to it being run on MAR10 Day. An Eep Cheep balloon attached to a Brick Block could also be obtained as special furniture after reaching the 800, 950, 1,100, or 1,300 cm milestone.
