'''Porcu-PuffersPorcupuffers''' (also called '''PorcupuffersPorcu-Puffers''') are a species of [[Cheep-Cheep]]s that first debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They resemble giant blue-purple [[Cheep-Cheep]]s with big red lips and blue spikes all over their back. Their name is a portmanteau of "porcupine" and "[[wikipedia:Tetraodontidae|puffer fish]]".

After a long hiatus, Porcu-Puffers are featured again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Here, they attack exactly the same as the [[Spike Bass]] in [[New Super Mario Bros.|the predecessor]], lying near the surface to pursue the plumber and his party or even leaping from the water to attack. Porcu-Puffers serve as [[Enemy Course|obstacles]] for [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4]], and they appear again in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6]] in level 6-5 and later in [[World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9]] in level 9-2. They can only be defeated with a fireball, star or koopa shell. They can also be frozen, but they crack out almost instantly, much like a [[Spiny Cheep-Cheep]]. In most cases, and not in the obstacle course, Porcu-Puffers come infinitely, but still one by one, to the player. For example, if a Porcu-Puffers is defeated by the player, another one will come to take its place several seconds later.

Porcu-Puffers (this time, under the name '''Porcupuffer''' in the USA version however their traditional name is retained in Europe and Australia) later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', inhabiting underwater and beach levels. They retain their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In World 6-1, Porcu-Puffers jump out of waterfalls, attempting to hurt Mario, and may even break some portions of the bridge he uses to reach the end of the level.
