Mecha Cheeps return in the ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' rendition of Squeaky Clean Sprint, as well as its R, T, and R/T variants. In this game, they are interactable course elements; much like regular Cheep Cheeps, they slow down drivers who collide with them, but can be taken out with an offensive item (except for a [[Banana]] or [[Giant Banana]]) or by simply bumping into them.
