The [[Nintendo Power]] guide refers to it as '''[[Puffer-Cheep]]'''<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Nintendo Power|The Official Nintendo Player's Guide]].

Sand Cheeps appear as [[Blurp]]s with the dorsal fin of a shark strapped to their back, and are always found with [[Sharkbone]]s; both remain submerged up to their dorsal fin in the sands in order to disguise themselves, though Sand Cheeps may leap at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in the overworld.

In battle, Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones appear under the name '''????''' | In battle, Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones appear under the name '''????'''; only their dorsal fins are visible, making it hard to tell them apart. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the tops of any Sand Cheeps present are visible for a few seconds at the start of the battle, hinting at their position. Sand Cheeps attack by swimming through the sand to approach one of the Mario Bros.; unlike Sharkbones, they will immediately leap out of the sand and over the target brother. This is designed to contrast with the Sharkbone, whose attack can only be dodged or countered by [[jump]]ing, as Mario or Luigi will take damage if they [[jump]] into the Sand Cheep. Any Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps that have attacked and were not defeated will promptly shuffle positions after their turn, making it harder to track them. | ||

In addition, targeting one of the underground enemies with the Advanced Thunder Bros. and [[Chopper Bros.]] attacks will reveal their identity as Luigi uppercuts them out of the ground. | ||
