A '''Rip Van Fish''' is a sleeping
[[File:RipVanFish-SMW.png|frame|left]]▼
▲A '''Rip Van Fish''' is a sleeping variety of [[Cheep Cheep]] found in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Rip Van Fish is named after the literary character [[Wikipedia:Rip Van Winkle|Rip Van Winkle]], who fell asleep for twenty years. If [[Mario]] swims too close to a Rip Van Fish, it will awaken and begin to chase Mario. The fish will pursue Mario until the plumber can put significant distance between them. If Mario escapes, the fish will go back to sleep. However, if Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], they will do the opposite and flee from him.
Rip Van Fish can also be awakened by the whistle of a [[Chargin' Chuck]] in [[Forest of Illusion 2]]. Whereas Mario can only awaken one fish at a time, the whistle can awaken all the fish in an area.
==Later appearances==
Rip Van Fish reappear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[reissue|remake]] ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', this time swimming back and forth, trying to bump into [[Yoshi Submarine]]. A Rip Van Fish can be beaten by simply blasting them with a torpedo from the Yoshi Submarine. The Rip Van Fish of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' differ from their ''Super Mario World'' counterparts by having different facial and by never sleeping. A new golden sub-species called [[Piscatory Pete]] appears in the game which chase Yoshi upon sight similar to the Rip Van Fish in earlier games.
The Rip Van Fish of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', once again as underwater foes. As the Yoshi Submarine can no longer shoot torpedoes in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Rip Van Fish can only be avoided, not attacked.

Rip Van Fish also appeared in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] episodes "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" and "[[Mama Luigi]]".
Line 25 ⟶ 27:
In "Mama Luigi"; [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]], after falling into the ocean, end-up waking a nearby Rip Van Fish, which proceeds to chase Luigi and Yoshi. Attempting to escape the Rip Van Fish, Luigi and Yoshi enter a nearby, underwater tunnel and begin swimming furiously, avoiding obstacles such as [[? Block]]s and [[Urchin]]s. Eventually, the Rip Van Fish, having apparently grown bored of chasing Luigi and Yoshi, quickly stops and begins to nap once again, allowing Luigi and Yoshi to get away.
