Peepas are a variant of Boos which first appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They have since appeared throughout the and .
==Profile==
===Physical description===
A Peepa is a white ghost with stubby arms, a smiling face, and black eyes with white pupils. It has two square-shaped teeth on its upper lip, but the teeth look as if they are protruding from its outer body. Peepas resemble Halloween sheet ghosts, similar to Lantern Ghosts.
===Behavior===
Peepas commonly float around areas, circling them in groups to make for a tricky obstacle while exploring the Ghost Houses. This behavior is similar to Circling Boo Buddies and Octoboos. Peepas can sometimes be helpful from carrying platforms around, allowing Mario and other characters to hoist rides.
==In ==
=== Super Mario 3D Land ===
Peepas are primarily found in Ghost House levels, such as World 4-4, and are frequently encountered alongside Boos. Peepas are commonly found in groups circling areas (similar to the Octoboos from Super Mario Galaxy 2), Peepas themselves are not typically aggressive as Boos are but they can still damage Mario/Luigi upon contact. Peepas are immune to ranged attacks and turn invisible when a projectile hits them. Peepas can only be defeated with either the effects of a Starman or an Invincibility Leaf. Additionally, when Dry Bowser captures Luigi, a Peepa and a Koopa Troopa keep an eye on his cell to prevent him from escaping, while Luigi calls for help.
=== New Super Mario Bros. 2 ===
Peepas are found in Ghost Houses and haunted-themed levels in general, such as World 6-4 and World Star-3. Peepas typically behave like the Circling Boo Buddies found in previous games, they circle set sectors in groups and can cause damage to the plumbers upon contact. Some Peepas can also be a help as they also carry platforms across chasms. Peepas themselves can be defeated with the effects of a Starman, Gold Flower, or an Invincibility Leaf. The platform-carrying Peepas are completely invincible however but are also harmless.
=== Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury===
Peepas retain the same behavior as before, and they are once again commonly found in Ghost Houses such as A Beam in the Dark and Peepa's Fog Bog. They are once again seen circling set sectors in groups however this time, they can also move straight (following any direction) in aligned formations, additionally, this time, Peepas can also appear invisible until the heroes approach at which point, they reveal themselves. Peepas once again aren't too aggressive and can be defeated with the effects of a Starman, Invincibility Leaf, or Invincibility Bell. Additionally, shining the new Light Box in the face of a Peepa can also be used to take care of one.
===Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker===
Peepas retain their behavior from Super Mario 3D World. They often appear in haunted-themed levels such as Spooky Specters at Shadow Manor. They once again are seen moving in either circles or straightward in any given direction, they pose very small threat to Captain Toad and Toadette as they can easily defeat the Peepas by looking at them (thanks to the headlamp the Toads are wearing). With the effects of a Double Cherry, due to the clones, defeating the Peepas is made even easier.
=== Super Mario Maker 2 ===
Peepas are placeable enemies exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World style. In these games, Peepas can be placed in most themes (typically the haunted ones) and behave identically to how they did in New Super Mario Bros. 2 by circling set sectors in groups (effectively replacing the Circling Boo Buddies from the other styles). A Peepa can be given a Super Mushroom to become a Big Peepa or wings to become a Winged Peepa, Peepas are fairly durable enemies in this game and can only be defeated with the effects of a Starman.

===Mario Party: Island Tour===
This is the first time that Peepas appear in a Mario Party game. Here, Peepas can be found in three minigames, The Reel Thing, Jeepers Peepas, and Scary Spotlight. In the first minigame, Peepas can be seen on one of the frames where Mario can be seen running down a corridor. In the second minigame, players are placed in a small gated yard with several Peepas who are constantly moving together, players must avoid the Peepas while outlasting each other. If a player is hit by a Peepa, the Peepa will carry the player off eliminating them from the minigame. The winner is either the last player standing or whoever's still standing when time's up. In the third minigame, players need to shine their lights at the Peepas by tilting their 3DS, to aim their lights at the Peepas, every Peepa defeated will earn the players a point, whoever shines the most Peepas after time is up is the winner.
===Mario Party 10===
Peepas are the main feature of the minigame Peepa Panic. During the minigame, players run through a mansion while avoiding the Peepas in their path, the Peepas move in aligned patterns which the players must avoid as they move, if players are hit by a Peepa, the Peepa will carry them away, the player can break free of the Peepa's grasp but he/she will lose a heart, if a player loses all three hearts to a Peepa, he/she will be eliminated effective immediately. Whoever manages to escape the mansion is the winner, several Peepas can also be seen around Haunted Trail as well.
===Mario Party: Star Rush===
Peepas can be seen as the primary obstacles of World 2-2 and World 2-3 where they pose as an ally. If a player is to join up with a Peepa, it will reveal itself and give the player a Cursed Dice Block. Thankfully, Peepas disappear after a set period of time, however, players obviously cannot select to play as a Peepa. Peepas also appear in the minigames House of Boos and King Boo's Light Smite. In the former minigame, they are seen as a common obstacle (alongside the Boos) for players to avoid as they collect the Coins scattered throughout the maze, if a player is hit by a Peepa or a Boo, he/she will be carried back to the stage's center Peepas always travel in set paths so avoiding them isn't too challenging, in the second minigame, Peepas assist King Boo during his battle. Here, they appear as obstacles on the platforms as players fight their way to King Boo. If a player is hit by a Peepa, he/she will be carried back to he start, and lose a point as well as the Light Box if they had one so avoid them.
===Super Mario Party===
A Peepa is the focus of the item Peepa Bell. Upon usage, a Peepa appear and steal Coins from a random opponent whenever they move. The effects wear off by the next turn.
===Mario Party Superstars===
Peepas can be seen around the returning board Horror Land. While they can be found lingering throughout, Peepas are only background elements, so they have no effect on gameplay.
==In Mario Tennis Aces==
Peepas are seen around the Mirage Mansion court watching each round play out, they don't affect the gameplay and are merely just audience members.
