'''Puffer-Cheeps''' are purple varieties of [[Cheep Cheep]]s that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. They are found on the [[Oho Ocean Seabed]]. The [[Nintendo Power]] guide refers to the [[Sand Cheep]] as a "Puffer-Cheep"<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Page 88.</ref> or Puffer Cheep<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Page 127.</ref>, while the actual Puffer-Cheep is referred to as a "'''Puffy Cheep'''".<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide. Page 86.</ref>

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', they and their base form are replaced by [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]]s, which similarly toggle between standard and spiny.

==Battle==
[[Cheep Cheep]]s attack at first by ramming into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], who have to [[jump]] to avoid or counter it; if damaged, the Cheep Cheep puffs itself up, transforming into a Puffer-Cheep and revealing spines that prevent the Mario Bros. from jumping on it. In this form, it will attempt to ram into the Mario Bros. again, which must be countered with the [[hammer]] this time; the Bros. will be [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]] if the attack hits or if they attempt to jump on it without the proper badge. If the Puffer-Cheep is damaged again, it reverts back to its original Cheep Cheep form; if it is jumped on without the proper badge or hits one of the brothers, they may become [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]].
