Yoshi series

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

The Deep-Cheep appears as a semi-common enemy in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In this game, they act like a basic Cheep-Cheep but will swim toward you if you get too close. Unlike the more aggressive Spiny Cheep Cheep, Deep-Cheeps will leave you alone if you move out of range. They only pursue you if you move in their direction. Deep-Cheeps can be defeated with fireballs or a Starman and can be frozen with ice balls. Larger variations of the Deep-Cheep also appear called Mega Deep-Cheeps.

Yoshi's New Island

Deep-Cheeps later appear in Yoshi's New Island they are only found in Submarine Yoshi sections where they main serve as obstacles they swim in a wide wave pattern similar to the Rip Van Fish and Piscatory Pete.
