A '''Boss Bass''' is a huge [[Cheep-Cheep]] found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They swim on the surface of the water trying to lunge out and eat [[Mario]] when he gets too close. In some of the levels, platforms rise and fall, making Mario an easy target. Throwing blocks and [[fireball]]s can defeat them, but they'll eventually come back. However, in the GBA version, if the player has set on the e-reader card that will make enemies hit by fireballs turn into coins, and the player successfully hits Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, Boss Bass will not return for the rest of the level.▼

A '''Boss Bass''' is a huge variant of [[Cheep Cheep]] which first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are the male counterpart to [[Big Bertha]], of which they are often confused with.
==History==
The [[Cheep-Chomp]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' has similar qualities to the Boss Bass. Another enemy in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', [[Spike Bass]]es, patrol the surface of water levels, similar to the Boss Bass. However, Spike Basses will not try to eat Mario.▼
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', if the player has set on the [[e-Reader]] card that causes enemies hit by fireballs turn into coins and Mario or Luigi successfully hits Boss Bass with a fireball and collects the coin, Boss Bass does not return for the remainder of the level.
===''Mario Kart DS''===
Boss Bass apparently eat [[Cheep-Cheep]]s, despite being a relative of it. They also have trouble distinguishing them from something else, as proven in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' when a [[Shayde]] said that he fell into the ocean once, but luckily could swim as well as a Cheep-Cheep. Unfortunately, a Boss Bass thought that since he swam like a Cheep-Cheep, the huge fish ate him.▼

In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Boss Basses make a returning appearance, and behave much like in ''Super Smash Bros. 3''. There is also a mid-boss named [[Bessie Bass]] who is a Big Bertha but behaves like a Boss Bass.
▲A Boss Bass makes a small cameo in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where it jumps out of the water and over the course in [[Banshee Boardwalk]]. This fish replaces the [[Cheep Cheep]] from the original ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' version.
==Relatives==
▲Boss Basses have several relatives aside from Big Berthas. The [[Cheep-Chomp]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' has similar qualities to the Boss Bass
