Games[]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]
The Cheep Chomp appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They patrol sections of water and upon sight, chase after Mario or his friends in an attempt to eat them. If Mario, Luigi or Toad is eaten by it, they will die and lose a life. They can be defeated with either a Fire Flower or a Starman, upon defeat, they drop three 1-Up Mushrooms.
New Super Mario Bros. U[]
The Cheep Chomp returns in New Super Mario Bros. U. In this game, it can be found in the level Swim for Your Life!. They are much more deadly in this game as they can now destroy other enemies (such as Urchins and Spiny Cheep-Cheeps). They now also take 3 fireballs to be defeated. Also, like the Porcu-Puffer, even if a Cheep Chomp is destroyed, a new one will arrive to take it's place. Cheep Chomps also swim faster as well. To defeat a Cheep Chomp, once again the Fire Flower and/or Starman are required.
Trivia[]
- The Cheep Chomp has a relative called the Boss Bass which prefer to jump out of the water.
