'''Chain Chomps''' (occasionally called simply '''Chomps''', alternatively formatted as '''Chain-Chomps''', and alternatively called '''Chain Chompers'''<ref>{{cite|date=January-February 1990|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 10|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=21}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=March-April 1990|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=14}}</ref> early on) are common enemies in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Chain Chomps were initially conceived for  [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], but a developer came across old concept art and decided to implement them in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.<ref>{{cite|date=May 28, 2011|url=www.glitterberri.com/a-link-to-the-past/the-men-who-made-zelda|title=The Men Who Made Zelda – Staff Interview|publisher=GlitterBerri's Game Translations|accessdate=January 10, 2016}}</ref> Chain Chomps bear a resemblance to a ball and chain and are typified by their large, tooth-filled maws and incessant biting.

Chain Chomps are often part of [[Bowser's Minions]], but there are some exceptions to this. Despite their English name, not all Chain Chomps have chains, or even chomp, and several later depictions of chainless Chain Chomps roll in the manner of [[boulder]]s.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

[[File:Ani_smb3_chainchomp.gif|frame|right|A sprite of a Chain Chomp from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]

Chain Chomps first appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' along with a relative of theirs, [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s. Chain Chomps are first found in [[World 2-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 2-5]]. They are attached to [[Hard Block|Wood Block]]s and try to lunge at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Either a [[Super Star|Starman]], a [[Koopa Shell]], a [[hammer]] from [[Hammer Mario]], or [[Statue Mario|a statue]] from [[Tanooki Mario]] can defeat it. A Chain Chomp can break free after 160 seconds.<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|date=June 1990|quote=If you stand there and watch one for 160 timer seconds, his chain will break and he will have one chance to get you.|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> In the remakes, the Chain Chomps in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-1]] have blue mouths instead of red.

It is attached to a [[peg]] near a cell with the [[Power Star]] of "[[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate]]." The Chain Chomp lunges at Mario if he is nearby, taking away three wedges of his [[Health Meter|health]] on contact. A [[Bob-omb]], a [[Crate|box]], or a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi's egg]] in the remake can stun Chain Chomp briefly. The Chain Chomp can be freed by [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing its post three times,<ref>{{cite|quote=Use the Pound the Ground stomp three times on the wooden post that tethers Chomp.|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|page=23|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1996}}</ref> required for it to lunge into the cell nearby and clear "Behind Chain Chomp's Gate."<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/axXpTosbtfg?feature=shared&t=36|timestamp=0:36|title=Behind Chain Chomp’s Gate - ''Super Mario 64'' Complete Star Guide|author=HaskieGaming|date=January 30, 2023|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

Chain Chomps were first given their iconic dog bark in ''Super Mario 64''. This has since been used throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise. The [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] miscolors their mouth a dull purplish color instead of bright pink.{{ref needed}} Their barks sound like "wan wan" in the Japanese version, matching their unlocalized name.

[[File:Chomplet.png|left|thumb|200px|The Chain Chomp from ''Super Mario Sunshine'']]

One Chain Chomp (also called a '''Chomp'''<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|date=September 3, 2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|page=20}}</ref>) is an enemy in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', which also adds the smaller puppy variety, [[Chain Chomplet]]s. The Chain Chomp is the first to have linking chains, instead of orbs like before, and it has a distinct, X-shaped scar on its head. Both the Chain Chomp and the Chain Chomplets are hot by default, appearing orange and burning Mario on contact, though he can use [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] to cool them briefly. The Chain Chomp is featured in the fourth [[mission]] of [[Pianta Village]], where Mario first cools it before trying to pull the Chain Chomp into a tub of water. The Chain Chomp always reheats eventually, but can be cooled off again with water, also contained in some nearby [[Barrel]]s with water. Upon entering the tub, the Chain Chomp turns golden, then the [[Shine Sprite]] appears above it. The Chain Chomp is noticeably evasive of Mario, always trying to move away from him.

Only three Chain Chomps appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', all in [[World 6-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-6]]. They behave like they do in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but their post can now be ground-pounded to release them, with three coins left behind, even if the Chain Chomp had been defeated from either a Koopa Shells, [[Super Star|Starmen]], or [[Mega Mushroom]].

 

[[File:SMG Good Egg Galaxy Saucer Planet.png|thumb|left|A Chain Chomp in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]

Chainless Chomps appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they roll around in the manner of a [[Boulder#Super Mario Galaxy|Ruby Rock]], damaging the player character if hit. They are sometimes spawned from a [[Chomp box]] endlessly on certain paths. If Mario or Luigi steps in front of a Chomp, he is knocked away and loses HP. Either a [[Rainbow Star]], a [[rubbery bulb]], or a [[Bob-omb]] can defeat a Chomp, causing it to explode into several [[Star Bit]]s; in Co-op mode, the second player can stop a Chomp from moving, so in the event that another one crashes into it, both are defeated. The [[Good Egg Galaxy#Chomp Saucer planet|Chomp Saucer planet]] of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] features slightly smaller Chomps, but they are not officially distinguished. There is a much smaller variety named the [[Small Chomp|Mini Chomp]], which appear from doghouses in the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]], as well as a [[Gold Chomp]] in the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]].

A large Chain Chomp is first seen in [[World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-Castle]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', pulling [[Iggy]] around in a seat. The Chain Chomp becomes red each time Iggy is hit and moves around faster briefly. Regular-sized Chain Chomps appear in [[World 7-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-2]], behaving like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though releasing it from its post can harm other players and result in [[Brick Block]]s being destroyed.

Chomps return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', behaving like in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. There is one part of the [[Flipsville Galaxy]] where Chomps are destroyed automatically from crashing together. The game adds another variety, the [[Homing Chomp]], and both Gold Chomps and Small Chomps return.

Chain Chomps received some changes in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', including unlinked rings, smaller, dark blue heads, and a short wooden stake. They charge at the player character like before,<ref>{{cite|quote=When you approach a Chain Chomp, it lunges at you with startling speed.|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=16|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=November 13, 2011|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4}}</ref> and can still have their stake ground-pounded to release them. Mario can jump on a Chain Chomp without taking harm, and a [[fireball]] can stun one briefly.

[[File:World 2-5 NSMB2.png|thumb|A Chain Chomp placed next to a destructible wall in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'']]

Chain Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', now depicted with unlinked chains. They are found in [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-5]] and {{world link|mushroom|B|World Mushroom-B}}. A large one pulls Iggy's seat around during the battle, like the previous game. Either a [[Super Star|Star]] or a [[Gold Flower]] can defeat a Chain Chomp.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U''====

Chain Chomps are found in [[Waddlewing's Nest]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and [[Wiggler Rodeo]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. They are similar aside from being depicted with linked chains, as well as having triangular stakes needing only one ground-pound to release them. Chain Chomps now release eight coins if defeated.

====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====

[[File:SMM WiiU E32015 05.png|thumb|left|A Chain Chomp being attached to a [[track]].]]

Chain Chomps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. acting like they usually would. They appear in every game style and receive uniquely designed sprites for the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles. Chain Chomps are attached to a stake, either suspended blocks or rails, and can shake stake to make them '''Unchained Chomps''',<ref>{{cite|quote=Treasure those moments where you can just sit and daydream, letting your mind wander as free as an Unchained Chomp|author=Tips notification|title=''Super Mario Maker''}}</ref> which hop along the ground as well as have a vocal cue in ''Super Mario Maker 2''. An Unchained Chomp can also become the result of a [[Thwomp]] landing on a Chain Chomp in any game style; placing a Chain Chomp in a block, pipe, or [[Bill Blaster]]; the Chain Chomp lunging fifty times in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style;{{ref needed}} or by ground-pounding its stake in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. Chain Chomps do not become unchained if placed in the [[Koopa Clown Car]] and lunges at the player as usual. Chain Chomps and Unchained Chomps in the night-time Ground theme of ''Super Mario Maker 2'' have longer chains.

[[Big Chain Chomp]]s are the result of dragging a [[Super Mushroom]] onto the Chain Chomp. They can also become winged, allowing them to fly when chained and lunging, as well as let Unchained Chomps jump higher.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====

[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char6.png|thumb|A Chain Chomp being controlled by Mario via his Capture ability in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]

Chain Chomps reappear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they are found in the [[Cascade Kingdom]]. Their chains are connected by rings that seem to act as elastics, and they have more realistic damage and wear on their heads and teeth. When they see [[Mario]], they jump in the air facing his direction surprised with a bark, then attack by pulling back on their chain using it like an elastic to fling themselves in [[Mario]]'s direction. They plow past Mario if they collide, but stop if they hit other Chain Chomps. Chain Chomps glow red as they wind up. They defeat enemies such as [[Burrbo]]s in their path and can break a [[stone wall]] when they hit one. A radius around them never has grass in it, while the area around that does have grass, suggesting the Chain Chomps trample the grass. Chain Chomps are fully immune to [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] seas.

They can be [[capture]]d by Mario and [[Cappy]]. When Mario controls a Chain Chomp, he can run away from where the chain is attached to to build up tension. Then the player can release {{button|switch|stick}} to launch the Chain Chomp in the opposite direction. The player can adjust their aim with left and right input or let the stick move back slowly to regain normal control. Alternatively, the player can shake their controller to do quick short dashes forward. With this method, the Chain Chomp will be launched only when the player stops shaking the controller. The player can use both methods, but if they shake and hold the {{button|switch|stick}}, motion controls take priority. As an alternative to either releasing {{button|switch|stick}} or stopping motion input, they can also press {{button|switch|ZL}} to escape the Chain Chomp. The motion control method does not allow Mario to change the angle, return to normal, or jump while the chain is fully wound up.

 

Mario hops out automatically when the Chain Chomp is sent flying, and it destroys stone walls and defeats enemies like the enemy does. However, Mario's version has more range. This enables Mario to access secret areas previously blocked by the walls. Mario can launch a Chain Chomp into a [[Stone marker]], which causes certain effects to happen like opening paths or making coins appear. While ready to launch, arrows show the trajectory the Chain Chomp will take. The camera moves automatically to show which way the Chain Chomp will go, except in bonus areas. When a Chain Chomp is launched, it is not stunned by Mario releasing the capture. Launched Chain Chomps can collect items such as coins. If a captured Chain Chomp is launched, and collides with another Chain Chomp, the second Chomp is sent flying based on the angle the first chain chomp hit it. This continues to apply if the second Chain Chomp hits a third Chain Chomp, and so on.

 

Captured Chain Chomps cannot take damage, even keeping their immunity to poison seas. If Mario captures a Chain Chomp then gets hit by another, he is forced out of his Chain Chomp. Chain Chomps can jump with both {{button|switch|Y}} or {{button|switch|B}}, but their jumps are low and prevent movement. While in the air with an extended chain, even if the chain is not at maximum length, the chain will slightly pull Mario back. This can prevent the player from launching the Chain Chomp if they want, but again this cannot be done using motion controls.

 

There are two different kinds of Chain Chomps in the game: normal sized ones with a blueish hue and [[Big Chain Chomp]]s with smaller eyes and a jet black color scheme, the latter of which can be used to break open very large rocks and even the [[Great Barrier]]. In addition, [[Madame Broode]], a boss in this game, owns a golden Chain Chomp who fights as her pet. She refers to it as [[Broode's Chain Chomp|Chain Chompikins]], though the in-game [[Capture#Capture List|Capture List]] refers to it simply as Broode's Chain Chomp. Her Chain Chomp can be captured in the same manner as an ordinary one (after its hat is removed), and must be slammed into Madame Broode's face to defeat her. They are both fought twice in the game, once in the Cascade and once in the [[Moon Kingdom]].

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===

[[File:CartoonChainChomp(Higher Quality).png|thumb|left|Several Chain Chomps from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]]".]]

Chain Chomps make several appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They act as guard dogs for [[Bowser|King Koopa]], and they often attack Mario and Luigi. Chain Chomps are shown to be able to swim in "[[The Venice Menace]]" where they bite on poles to sink the buildings in Venice. Throughout the show, Chain Chomps are depicted with yellow sclerae instead of the usual white.

===''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]''===

If Mario chooses to use a shortcut to Fort Koopa while traveling through the [[Koopahari Desert]] in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', he can encounter a Chain Chomp guarding the fortress. Depending on how the accompanying puzzle is solved by the reader, Mario partially evades the Chomp (it manages to bite off a chunk of his shoe), reach the fortress wall, and begin scaling it, or is bitten on the foot and be forced to flee.

In the best ending of ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', Luigi encounters a gold Chain Chomp guarding a stash of coins. When the fumes from [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s botched [[Magic Wand|wand]] combination potion reach the Chomp, it is knocked out and Luigi is able to claim the coins it was guarding.

Only one Chain Chomp ever appears, and it is found in a room near the start of [[Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. It functions like in the ''Super Mario'' series, but with the added ability of lunging at the screen. This Chain Chomp can be defeated by using a [[POW Block]]<ref name=smw2>{{cite|timestamp=0:17|url=youtu.be/l29eJZunWyA?feature=shared&t=17|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' - 5-4: Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|date=October 11, 2019|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>{{ref timestamp|0:17}} or a [[Winged Cloud Maker]], unlocking a room with a [[Message Block]] that gives a code to unlocking [[Mini Battle]]s.<ref name=smw2/>{{ref timestamp|0:27}}

There is also only one Chain Chomp in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. It is in a hidden area of [[Chomp Shark Chase]],<ref>{{cite|timestamp=0:48|url=youtu.be/NIdQdeyitp8?feature=shared&t=48|title=''Yoshi's New Island'' - World 4-6: "Chomp Shark Chase" All Red Coins/Flowers 100% Walkthrough!|publisher=YouTube|author=AbdallahSmash|date=March 22, 2014}}</ref> and can be defeated the standard way by [[Ground Pound]]ing the pole it is attached to.

 

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

[[File:Chomp2.gif|thumb|Bowser using a Chain Chomp as a weapon]]

Chain Chomps, originally named "Chomps," make appearances in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They are first seen as guards in [[Booster Tower]]. Some of their skills in battle include [[Iron Maiden]] and [[Carni-Kiss]]. Chain Chomps are weak to thunder attacks but have no resistances, though their defense is higher than their attack power. Chain Chomps can be fled from easily because they are attached to a stake. The game adds a golden variety, [[Chomp Chomp]]s, and [[Chaindelier]]s, which hold the chandeliers in [[Bowser's Keep]]. For the remake, Chain Chomps use their modern designs, whilst Bowser's retains its original design, even the artwork of the Chain Chomp.

[[File:Mk64rainbowroad4.png|thumb|A Chomp in ''Mario Kart 64'']]

Chainless Chomps are obstacles in [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. They roam up and down the track, lunging racers upward on contact. Besides the lack of a chain, they look like the Chain Chomp in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', but with the shinier texture that [[Metal Mario]] previous had.<ref>{{cite|url=www.textures-resource.com/nintendo_64/mario64/texture/1325|title=''Super Mario 64'' Mario textures|publisher=The Textures Resource}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=textures-resource.com/nintendo_64/mariokart64/texture/2815|title=''Mario Kart 64'' Rainbow Road textures|publisher=The Textures Resource}}</ref>

 

Chain Chomps are obstacles on both [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They are on the side of the road, fixed to its post and trying to ram players. A Chain Chomp also functions as [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]'s [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]], also being usable for [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], who can use any other special item. A unique theme plays as the Chain Chomp item pulls the users forward briefly, knocking over other players, before traveling the course aimlessly before falling off; this occurs earlier if its users are hit by an item. Either way, a Chain Chomp either way flips over the racer, causing them to drop [[List of items|items]], but running into one with a [[Super Star|Star]] causes them to go offroad.

 

''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' standardized the look of Chain Chomps further than ''Super Mario Sunshine'', though its artwork is reused from the cover art of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''.

The Chain Chomp reappears in {{classic|GCN|Luigi Circuit}} and the chainless type in [[DS Peach Gardens|Peach Gardens]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Their mouths are always open, no longer animated, and the chainless type has [[Item Box]]es trailing behind them. Mission 3-3 features a Chain Chomp that actively attacks Luigi while he collects coins on Luigi Circuit, and Mission 5-1 features a race against one on Peach Gardens. A Chain Chomp is depicted with the sponsor "Dangerous" as banners on several tracks.

 

The Chain Chomp was [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content|going]] to be an item, but was replaced by the functionally similar [[Bullet Bill]].

[[File:2009-TournamentMay2.jpg|150px|thumb|The unchained Chain Chomp on Chain Chomp Wheel.]]

A chained Chain Chomp appears on [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] as well as the returning {{classic link|GCN|Mario Circuit}} in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The stray type now has chains and no longer bounce on the ground; they appear in {{classic|DS|Peach Gardens}}, as well as on Mario Circuit during the first May 2008 tournament.<ref>{{cite|author=Matthew Gamer|url=youtu.be/7S8-_SIQQZQ?feature=shared&t=106|title=''Mario Kart Wii'' Part 1 - Tournament May 1, 2008 (Wimmfi Competition #145)|date=June 28, 2020|timestamp=01:46|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> If a player is hit by a Chain Chomp, they are knocked back in the same manner as if they were hit by a [[Bullet Bill]]. An unchained Chain Chomp is a hazard at [[Chain Chomp Wheel]], after being shot from a cannon, and it rolls around the mid section of the roulette wheel, squishing players along the way. Unchained Chain Chomps were also on [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] during the second November 2009 tournament.

Chomps are on the moon portion of [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They function the same as usual, except players lose coins if hit.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

As {{classic|N64|Rainbow Road}} returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', so do the unchained Chain Chomps. This time, they bounce in place on the road, creating waves that are an advantage for racers to perform [[trick]]s, instead of roaming on it. In the building on the course [[Water Park]] a sign that says 'CAUTION! No Pets' has a picture of a Chain Chomp with a red line across it. Additionally, two Chain Chomps appear in {{classic link|GBA|Cheese Land}} from the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack, acting the same as they did in previous appearances, only now they may also hang above the ground momentarily as they lunge in an attempt to hit any airborne racers while making it possible for other racers to pass directly under them. Also, Chain Chomps appear in adverts within the courses of the game for [[Chain Chomp Racing Chains]]. All these Chain Chomps return in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

Chain Chomps also appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' starting with Wave 3. Several chained Chain Chomps appear on {{classic link|Tour|London Loop}}, but they become unchained on the final lap. Unchained Chain Chomps also appear on {{classic link|DS|Peach Gardens}}. The rolling type reappears in {{classic link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}. [[Incoming Chomp]]s also appear in the background of [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]]. Two chained Chain Chomps appear on {{classic link|Tour|Rome Avanti}}.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Chain Chomps appear in [[Tour London Loop|London Loop 1, 2, and 3]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 2|SNES Mario Circuit 2T]], [[SNES Mario Circuit 3|SNES Mario Circuit 3R/T]], [[SNES Donut Plains 3|SNES Donut Plains 3T]], [[DS Peach Gardens|DS Peach Gardens T]], and [[Rome Avanti|Rome Avanti 3, 3R, and 3T]]. They behave like the Chain Chomps found in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''{{'}}s rendition of Cheese Land. The rolling type reappears in 3DS Rainbow Road, all DS Peach Gardens variants, and Rome Avanti 3T. This game is the first time [[Capture|uncaptured]] Chain Chomps are portrayed as having light blue-colored irises in-game. A Chain Chomp also appears on a [[List of badges in Mario Kart Tour|badge]], as well as in paintings inside the main dojo at [[Ninja Hideaway]]. A Chain Chomp-themed [[Mii|Mii Racing Suit]] debuted in the [[Bangkok Tour]].

====''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''====

The Chain Chomp is an item in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', working the same as in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', though gate billboards with Chain Chomp signs give the item automatically when driven through.

Chain Chomps were part of the audience in ''[[Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle]]''.

[[File:YSChomp.png|frame|right]]

Chainless Chomps (also called '''Chomp Chomps'''<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|date=April 7, 1999|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|page=109}}</ref>) are one of the largest enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', though their in-engine sprite size is only 42x42 pixels. They are found in [[Jungle Hut]], chomping as they move, like [[Big Chain Chomp|Shark Chomp]]s. Three Chomps around found on different vertical levels of a hut, where there is fruit to obtain. If a Chain Chomp harms a Yoshi, it makes a growling-like sound while facing the screen. There is an icon of a smaller Chomp during a [[Melon Race]], showing the [[Time Limit]] as it moves while eating [[melon]]s it comes across, decreasing the number rewarded at the end.

[[File:SneakSnore.png|200px|thumb|left|A Chain Chomp eliminating Wario in Sneak 'n' Snore of ''Mario Party 2'']]

A sleeping Chain Chomp is featured in [[Sneak 'n' Snore]], a minigame in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' where players each try to sneak by in a [[barrel]] to press a red button and then exit;<ref>{{cite|author=Game Rules|date=2000|title=''Mario Party 2''|quote=Sneak to the red button and out the door while Chain Chomp snores.

There is a Chain Chomp in the background of [[Pirate Land]], guarding two Chain Chomp-shaped jail cells on a jail cell to the lower left, as well as in [[Bowser Land]], moving a wagon near the center.

[[File:MP3 Game Guys Sweet Surprise.png|thumb|The Big Chomp and the Little Chomp of the minigame Game Guy's Sweet Surprise in ''Mario Party 3'']]

There is a Chain Chomp in the minigame [[Merry-Go-Chomp]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' that eliminates the closest player when the roulette stops. Two differently sized Chain Chomps, [[Big Chain Chomp|Big Chomp]] and Little Chomp, each eat a cake during the minigame [[Game Guy's Sweet Surprise]], and the player wins if they guess the correct winner. In the Japanese version, the Little Chomp is referred to as an ordinary Chain Chomp. There is also a chainless Chain Chomp chewing a bone at [[Spiny Desert]]. Chainless Chain Chomps can be partners in Duel Mode after unlocking them from the lottery and have a health value of 2; an attack of 1; and a salary of six coins. The special attack of a partner Chain Chomp is to grow large, making them resemble a [[Big Chain Chomp|Shark Chomp]], to squash their opponent.

Four Chain Chomps are part of the [[Chomp Call]] item introduced in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' to move the location of the [[Star Exchange]]. A Chain Chomp is also the obstacle to avoid in the minigame [[Chain Chomp Fever]], where four Chain Chomps are also in the background, pouring [[lava]] into the lake. Players possibly have to catch a chainless ones in the minigame [[Long Claw of the Law]].

A Chain Chomp is part of a different item in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the [[Chain Chomp Capsule]], taking over a Boo's role by stealing either coins or a star for a fee. They appear in a few minigames: [[Chomp Romp]], where each player tries to guide theirs to the end; [[Night-Light Fright|Night Light Fright]], where players each try to shine their flashlight when the Chain Chomp is at its nearest; and, [[Rumble Fumble]], where they hide and buckets and attack players who choose incorrect ones.

Chain Chomps inhabit houses at [[Snowflake Lake]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', and players can have a Chain Chomp move a number of spaces determined by a Dice Block for 10 [[coin]]s, two for 20 coins, or three for 30 coins. The Chain Chomp steals Stars from any player it passes, unless that player has a [[Snack Orb]]. Additionally, a Chain Chomp appears in [[Infernal Tower]] to launch the player to the start if they land on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]]. Chain Chomps are in the minigame [[Throw Me a Bone]], where players each guide one to the goal using bones. One sometimes appears in [[Seer Terror]] as a result. Both large Chain Chomps and several smaller Chomps sometimes run throughout the neighborhood in [[Dunk Bros.]]

[[File:MPA Chain Chomp.png|thumb|Chain Chomp introducing himself to the player in ''Mario Party Advance'']]

[[File:MPA Chain Chomp Sprite.png|left|frame|Map icon]]

A Chain Chomp appears in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' in the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode. It lives in a small area with [[Warp Pipe]]s. Chain Chomp had been taken care of by [[Little Mouser|Mouser]] at one point.<ref>{{cite|quote=Mouser use to take care of it.|author=In-game description|date=2005|title=''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> The player can unlock the minigame [[Chain Saw]] from Chain Chomp by defeating him in it during the quest [[Chomper Stomper]]. The ending reveals that Chain Chomp became the guardian of the [[Duel Tower]]'s first floor,<ref>{{cite|quote=Now guards the first floor of Duel Tower.|author=Ending|date=2005|title=''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> replacing [[Whomp]].

[[Chomp Walker]] is another minigame that involves guiding a Chain Chomp to the end. The Chain Chomps of [[Barrel Peril]] wake up to launch at the player if they are close.

The Chain Chomps of [[Pyramid Park]] in ''Mario Party 7'' have a similar role to those in Snowflake Lake, except the black Chain Chomps only offer one or two Dice Block roll at the same respective prices, while a Red Chain Chomp cost ten coins for three rolls. Chain Chomps are part of one of the solo player's commands in the 1-vs-3 [[Nintendo GameCube Microphone|mic]] game [[Wheel of Woe]].

[[File:AtChompWash.png|thumb|left|Chain Chomps are the focus of the At the Chomp Wash minigame in ''Mario Party 8'']]

Chain Chomps are only part of a few minigames in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. [[Chomping Frenzy]] involves feeding one certain fruit, otherwise it attacks the player. [[At the Chomp Wash]] involves players trying to be first to clean Chain Chomps five times. [[Cardiators]] includes them as part of the strongest card, from which they inflict 12 damage to the opponent.

[[File:MP9 Chain Chomp Romp 1.png|thumb|Screenshot from ''Mario Party 9'']]

{{quote|Finally made it, did you? I'll be honest: I never thought you'd make it this far. At least I can finally take my {{color link|blue|Mini Star|Mini Stars}} back! It's the end of the road for all of you! My mightiest minion, {{color|red|Chain Chomp}}, will defeat you all!|Bowser|Mario Party 9}}

A Chain Chomp is fought in the minigame [[Chain Chomp Romp]] in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', where it is the stage boss of [[Magma Mine]]. Certain paths selected by players lead to a cannon, which launch a cannonball to deal one damage or a golden one for three damage. Players who do not arrive at a cannon are hit by the Chain Chomp and lose a point. The same Chain Chomp can appear in [[Bowser's Block Battle]], where if Bowser rolls it on his metal dice block, the Chain Chomp moves around, turning around upon hitting walls and taking away points of players whom it hits.

A Chain Chomp is fought in the minigame [[Chain Chomp's Lava Lunge]] in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', being the second boss of the [[Bowser's Tower]] mode. Landing on the [[Unlucky Space]] on [[Perilous Palace Path]] wakes up the Chain Chomp, causing it to send players backward.

Two Chain Chomps are in amiibo Party in the [[Bowser Board]] in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', attempting to eat a bone.

A Chain Chomp appears in the minigame [[Fruit or Foe]] in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', where it can attack the selected player.

 

Chain Chomps are found in the returning minigames Night Light Fright and At the Chomp Wash in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and they are part of the Chomp Call item.

 

[[File:Super Mario Party - Off the Chain.png|thumb|The Chain Chomp in Off the Chain in ''Super Mario Party'']]

Chain Chomps appear in some minigames of ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. The minigame [[Off the Chain]] involves a player directing a Chain Chomp to charge at other players, disqualifying any who are hit. On an [[Event Space]] next to the Chain Chomp in the [[Kamek's Tantalizing Tower]] board and its Partner Party counterpart [[Tantalizing Tower Toys]], it attacks said player and cause them to lose coins.

 

Chain Chomps appear in the returning minigames [[Sneak 'n' Snore]] and [[Night-Light Fright]] in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. They are part of the Chomp Call like before, except the Chain Chomps now launch [[Toadette]] to set up a [[Star Space]] elsewhere.

 

''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' includes only one Chain Chomp to relocate the Star on any board except [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]]. They are in several minigames: [[Chomp Wash]], [[Camera-Ready]] as part of the scene, [[Scare-ousel]] as a mechanical obstacle, [[Luigi Rescue Operation]] as a potential painting, and [[Jr.'s Jauntlet]] as a potential hazard.

A Chain Chomp is the layout of the fourteenth hole of [[Mario's Star (golf course)|Mario's Star]] in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', as well as a possible name listed on the scoreboard.

 

A Chain Chomp is first seen during the opening in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', waking up during [[Yoshi]]'s turn and scaring him. Several holes in [[Peach's Castle Grounds]] and [[Bowser Badlands]] feature a Chain Chomp eating any ball in its its area, counting it out of bounds. Chain Chomps retain the same role in the [[Mushroom Course]] of ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'' and [[Bowser's Castle (golf course)|Bowser's Castle]] of ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''.

 

Chain Chomps work differently on the [[Bowser Highlands]] course in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', knocking away balls that land nearby. Chain Chomps cause players to lose coins in Battle Golf mode on contact.

 

Chomps in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are designed after [[Big Chain Chomp|Shark Chomp]]s. The [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]] is decorated with statues in their likeness as well as [[Stone Chomp]]s. At one point, [[Tutankoopa]] calls an indefinite number to assist him, with the Chomps lunging to attack. Afterward, Tutankoopa tries to calm one called "Chompy," which proceeds to chase and try to bite him, continuing to do so during the [[Victory Parade|parade]], with two others assisting eventually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', a Chain Chomp named Princess appears in [[Shogun Studios]]. While she does not harm Mario, she simply blocks the path to the [[Ninja Attraction]] by threatening to bite him. To get past Princess, Mario must trade the [[Baseball (item)|Baseball]] with the Dry Bones duo in exchange for a [[Bone (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Bone]]. When Princess is given the bone, she takes a liking to [[Olivia]] as hearts appear above her head. Princess shows affection every time Mario walks by her from then on.

A [[Paper Macho Soldier|Paper Macho]] [[Paper Macho Chain Chomp|Chain Chomp]] appears in the Spring of Jungle Mist. If Mario chooses to follow [[Bowser Jr.]]'s or [[Olivia]]'s directions at one point, they reach a dead end and the Chomp suddenly appears from the bushes and lunges at them, causing a Game Over. This means that the right path is [[Kamek]]'s, so that the group can see the Chomp and avoid it, although they must escape and reach a tree root to trap it, and like before, if Mario does not keep up with the others, he receives a Game Over. While climbing the large tree, the Chomp chasing Mario and co., and a Game Over will result if the Chomp catches them. Once the group grabs onto the vine to swing away, the Chomp attempts to leap after them, only to plummet. The Chomp does not appear again during revisits to the level.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====

Two enemies related to Chain Chomps appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': [[Mecha-Chomp]]s, dog-like mechanical Chomps at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]], and the [[Chomp Bro]], a variation of the [[Hammer Bro]] at [[Bowser's Castle (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Bowser's Castle]] that uses small Chomps for weapons. In the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]], Mecha-Chomps are replaced by [[Mechakoopa]]s, though regular Chain Chomps appear as troops in the ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' mode. Chain Chomps are melee troopers, and they attack by running into enemies. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Charging Champ, allows them to charge through enemies in their path.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Pocket Chomp]] is a [[Bros. Item]]. At first it appears to be a small Chomp in a ''Mario Party''-like orb, but when released, it more than triples in size and chases the brothers across the screen, forcing them to [[jump]] on any enemy in their way. Occasionally, a Chomp with a ribbon on its head and white eyelashes appears, which is slower than a normal one. This is likely implying it is female. The Pocket Chomps bark, but it sounds more of the bark in ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]] than later games like ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. The [[Elder Princess Shroob]] uses a Shroob version of a regular Chain Chomp called [[Kyankyan]] for one of her attacks during the first phase of her boss battle.

A chainless Chomp also appears while Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] are heading through the Warp Pipe to get to the top of the Princess Shroob statue in [[Shroob Castle]]. It leaps out of the basement's sewer water and bashes the pipe, redirecting its destination to the basement. Later, as the brothers are about to hit a [[! Block]] to cross a pit of spikes and leave the basement, the Chomp leaps out of the water, eats the block, and heads into one of the five Warp Pipes visible on the map. The player must use the Star blocks that appear to damage the Chomp four times with lasers. However, on the final attempt, Chomps fill up all the pipes. The player can tell the correct Chomp apart from the others by looking at which one is barking the fastest. When it is defeated, the Chomp is destroyed and the block heads back to its original position. Unlike most chainless depictions of Chomps, this one has the chain holder in the back rather than the back being smooth and round.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Chain Chawful]]s are Chain Chomps that have been possessed by Fawful-like [[Sworm]]s, forcing them to work under Fawful's wing. If Bowser can swallow the Sworm, then the Chain Chomp turns back to normal and runs away. Regular Chain Chomps appear in the fight with [[Junker]] and Junker X when Mario or Luigi defeats a [[Junker Can]]. The Chain Chomp attempts to ram the brother that defeated the can, but it can be deflected by striking it with the hammer. Chain Chomps are also present among the smaller Piranha Plants Bowser must plow through to reach the two massive Piranha Plants at Peach's Castle, and lunge at him in a straight horizontal line unlike the Piranha Plants that are implanted. One Chain Chomp is also present outside the final station in the [[Fawful Express]] battle.

Chain Chomps reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', where they are in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode as enemies and recruitable allies.

Chain Chomps appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They appear in the final area, [[Neo Bowser Castle]]. In the field, they drag their respective [[Walker Guy]] towards the Bros. when spotted. At the start of a battle, they always appear with a Walker Guy. If defeated, the Walker Guy attempts to bring another into battle by running into the background and looking for one (which on occasion, fails), and thus the Walker Guy should be defeated first. The Chain Chomp is the force of the pair that enables them to attack, whether it be with the Walker Guy or not.

Chain Chomps may look at a Bro, and start to swing its chain with the Walker Guy holding on for dear life, where the Walker Guy gets flung off towards the Bro who was not looked at. The Bro the Walker Guy was flung towards must hammer them to the ground before them to avoid taking damage. The Chain Chomp then charges at a Bro, who must be stopped by having the targeted Bro hammer it. If the Walker Guy is countered and the Chain Chomp attacks the same Bro, the Walker Guy ends up getting mowed over and takes damage.

A lone Chain Chomp heads into the middle of the battlefield, and looks about frantically, eventually deciding who to attack, and lunging at them, whether it be friend or foe. Mario and Luigi must hammer the Chain Chomp away if they are targeted, this can make the bros [[dizzy]], and if successful, the Chain Chomp may attempt to charge at something else or end the attack.

Chain Chomps appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as enemies in both their normal and [[Paper Chain Chomp|paper]] forms. Once again, they appear in [[Neo Bowser Castle]]. Chain Chomps do not appear on the field and are only encountered in battle with a [[Shy Guy]] that holds both a regular Chain Chomp and a Paper Chain Chomp. The Chain Chomps attack by lunging at which bro they are parallel with, which must be jumped over, and then they both drag the Shy Guy at Paper Mario who must then jump. They can also attack a single bro, which beforehand they both jump a certain number of times, and the one that jumped the most attacks, which must be countered with the hammer. The regular Chain Chomp goes straight for the bro, while the Paper Chain Chomp attacks from behind. It is possible to defeat either Chain Chomp if it was targeted other than the [[Shy Guy]] holding them both. If one of the Chain Chomps were defeated, the Shy Guy (which is the main target) and the other Chain Chomp run away with no [[Experience Point|EXP]] given. If there are any remaining enemies in the battle, the surviving Chain Chomps occasionally appear chasing a [[Paper Fuzzy]], and the targeted bro must jump over the Chain Chomp. Any enemies aligned with the Chain Chomp's attack also take damage.

During the final battle against [[Shiny RoboBowser]], one of his attacks involve transforming his arms and legs into wheels and chasing them in the left direction. At the end of this attack, a Chain Chomp appears which the Bros. must jump over and if no one takes damage from it, the Chain Chomp damages Bowser which ends the attack.

===''Mario Tennis'' series===

====''Mario Power Tennis'' / ''New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis''====

They are part of a minigame at [[Wario Factory Court]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', rewarding a point each time they are fed (unless they are in an angered stage), though hitting them with a Bob-omb or water anger or put them to sleep, respectively. If an angered Chain Chomp is hit by water, it reverts to normal, though a Bob-omb causes them to chase the player, who can protect themselves by hitting a switch. Sleeping Chain Chomps can be awoken with a Bob-omb.

 

A Chain Chomp appears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', holding its racket in its mouth. Excluding capturing in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', this marks the first time in any ''Super Mario'' game where a Chain Chomp is playable. Its [[emblem]] is a side view of a Chain Chomp with no pupils. Chain Chomp is classified as a Powerful character in the game, and its [[Special Shot (Mario Tennis Aces)|Special Shot]] is Unleash, in which it spins around an invisible axis with its chain before hitting the ball. Chain Chomp's horizontal and vertical [[Trick Shot]]s are named Side Whirl and Vertical Whirl respectively, and both involve it spinning towards the ball. Its entrance animation has it lowered onto the court in a metal cage while it is asleep; however, the placement of the cage wakes it, causing it to bounce around until it destroys the cage and jumps out. Chain Chomp has three alternate costumes, all of which give it a white cap with its emblem on the front and a colored outline; this outline is yellow in its first alternate costume, red in its second, and green in its third. These costumes were originally earned by collecting participation points in the March 2019 online tournament, with 300 points unlocking the yellow costume, 1000 points unlocking the red costume, and 2000 points unlocking the green costume. The costumes returned in the October 2019 tournament and appear in every April and October tournament since, where 250 points unlock the yellow costume, 500 points unlock the red costume, and 1000 points unlock the green costume. Chain Chomp also appeared in both of the game's online tournament demos as an unlockable playable character, unlocked after 1500 participation points were accumulated in the first and after twelve matches were completed in the second. It also appears as an enemy in the adventure mode in the mission found on the Castle Bridge, [[Sure Shot Challenge (Advanced)]], where the player must hit 30 balls past the Chain Chomp without letting it hit three.

 

[[File:Redchomp.png|frame|left]]

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===

A single Chain-Chomp appears in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', chasing the player character and Toad as they go after Wario, who has a stolen [[Music Key]]. The corresponding minigame, [[Chain-Chomp Chase]], involves having to outrun the Chain-Chomp.

===''Super Mario Stadium'' series===

Chain Chomps are hazards of certain stadiums in the [[Super Mario Stadium (series)|''Super Mario Stadium'' series]], including the left and right foul areas of [[Wario Palace]] in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', waking up if a ball hits them and knocking any later balls headed toward them. One can appear in [[Bowser Jr. Playroom]] if the ball lands on a Chain Chomp image on the field, causing one to appear and attack the fielders.

Chain Chomps are in two minigames, each occuring at the respective boards. ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' has the [[Chain Chomp Sprint]] minigame at Wario Palace, where the Chain Chomp wakes up regular to attack moving players, taking away half of their jewels. Meanwhile, the minigame [[Graffiti Runner]] at in Bowser Jr. Playroom in ''Mario Super Sluggers'' has a player open a treasure chest to activate it, causing the Chain Chomp to rampage, removing paint and hitting players in the way.

[[File:ChainChompSPP.png|frame|left]]

Chain Chomps are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', in addition to a [[Calm]] variation named [[C. Chain Chomp]], as well as the returning Big Chain Chomps (renamed from Shark Chomps in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''). Chain Chomps have unlinked chains and are found asleep at first, waking up if approached, as well as also having a chomping sound.

''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' features a Chain Chomp as an item with which the player can attack. If used, the Chomp attacks all opposing players on the field, leaving them on the ground for a few seconds. However it is very rare, and it only appears if the team is losing badly. It is the strongest offensive item in the game, but it can sometimes backfire on the user. It may attack the user's team along with the opponent's team. Chain Chomp returns in the sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' acting very similarly as they did in ''Super Mario Strikers''. Like in the first game, it rampages around the whole field, attacking anyone who has the ball and stunning them for a certain amount of time. They appear only when the team is losing badly. They appear more often than in the previous game, however. On a side note, it is possible for the Playmaker and Defensive players to avoid the Chain Chomp. Balanced players can also avoid the Chain Chomp, but it is more difficult. However, neither Power nor Offensive players can avoid the Chain Chomp.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===

[[File:M&S 2012 The Life of a Minion.png|thumb|A Chain Chomp and a [[Piranha Plant]] in [[The Life of a Minion]].]]

Chain Chomps have had varied roles in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. Their first appearance in the series is in the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' as part of a minigame where Wario must push off a Chain Chomp with his [[Wario Waft]] in [[Blow Away Chain Chomp!]]. Chain Chomps also appear as hot air balloons in the background of [[Dream Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|Dream Long Jump]] and [[Archery (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Archery]]. ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' similarly features hot air balloons shaped like them in various [[Dream Event]]s. As obstacles, Chain Chomps had their first role in both the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]] and [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', appearing in both the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions of Dream Ski Cross in the Wii version and in [[Extreme Snowboarding]] in the Nintendo DS version; in both versions, being hit by a Chain Chomp knocks characters over and slows them temporarily. A Chain Chomp appears as an obstacle in [[Dream Equestrian]] in the Wii version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', where it chases the characters for part of the course and tears up a bridge behind them, causing the cart to overbalance. One also appears as a ? mark effect in London party mode, where it removes a number of stickers from an opponent's current sticker sheet. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', a Chain Chomp only appears in the Story Mode episode [[The Life of a Minion]], where [[Magikoopa]] conjures one to stun [[Knuckles]].

A Chain Chomps{{sic}} can be bought from the Mascots section of the costume shop in ''[[Fortune Street]]'' after winning the [[Mario Circuit (board)|Mario Circuit]] board. Said board also features a design of one based on its appearance in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

[[File:Chain Chomp SSB4 3DS.jpg|thumb|left|240px|A Chain Chomp in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'']]

[[File:SSB4 Chain Chomp.png|thumb|200px|The Chain Chomp as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'']]

Chain Chomps first appear as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and return as one in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They attack by lunging at opponents from their posts and chomping them for multiple hits. If the Chain Chomp falls off the stage, then it leaps back up onto it. Chain Chomps are also enemies in the ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''-exclusive mode Smash Run, attacking in the same manner as the Assist Trophy; these Chain Chomps are invulnerable to any attack, unlike their Assist Trophy counterpart, and the only way to defeat them is by attacking the post until it is free.

''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' features a Chain Chomp as an Advanced-class Attack-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. It allows no support slots and, when equipped, makes the user slower but more difficult to launch. The corresponding spirit battle involves a [[Metal Mario|metallic]] [[Pac-Man]] and a hostile Chain Chomp Assist Trophy on the [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Yoshi's Island]] stage. In addition to the Spirit Board, the Chain Chomp spirit can be obtained from Beedle's Tent for 1,000 Spirit Points.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===

[[File:PDSMBE-ChainChomp-TeamImage.png|thumb]]

Chain Chomps appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as enemies with average attack and low HP. Their attribute is Dark, meaning that they are equally strong and weak to enemies with the Light attribute. The maximum level they can reach is 25.

 

Their main skill is Menace, which delays the turn count of all enemies by 1. Their secondary skill, Dark Boost, increases the Attack of all Dark-attributed team members when the player clears a row of dark orbs.

 

If they are given 3 [[Flame Chomp Coin]]s, they transform into the enemy "Chain Chomp & Flame Chomp", which has high attack and below average HP. Their main skill, Roar, delays the turn count of all enemies by 2. Their secondary skill is Twin Target, which raises their attack and attacks 2 enemies for clearing 4 orbs of Dark or Fire orbs.

 

Additionally, if they are given 6 Flame Chomp Coins, they transform again into the enemy "Chain Chomp & Flame Chomps", which is a Chain Chomp and 2 [[Flame Chomp]]s. In this form, they have very high attack and average HP. Their skill is Fierce Roar, which delays the turn count of all enemies by 3, and their secondary skill is Bind Barrier, which occasionally prevents paralysis.

 

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===

[[File:FrameChompHQ.png|100px|thumb|left|A Frame Chomp in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]

While Chain Chomps themselves do not appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' or ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', a new type of Chain Chomp, under the name [[Frame Chomp]], is introduced as an enemy. Throwing a [[yarn ball]] at a Frame Chomp causes it to turn into a [[Chomp Rock]]. It is also possible to remove the yarn from a Chomp Rock created in this way, turning it back into a Frame Chomp.

 

Chain Chomps reappear as obstacles in certain stages in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. During the turn transition between the heroes and the enemies, the Chain Chomp lunges at the closest character from its position, deducting 75 [[Heart Point|HP]] from the character it attacks. A sleeping Chain Chomp appears in the background of a room in the [[Lava Pit (Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle)|Lava Pit]], which according to [[Beep-0]] was being fed Rabbid-shaped cookies. The [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Chomper Stopper|Chomper Stopper]] and [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Clobber Chomper|Clobber Chomper]] weapons are based on Chain Chomps. In the sequel, ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a single Chain Chomp can be seen sleeping on the fallen moon on [[Palette Prime]].

 

Chain Chomps debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, its effect is to grant a chance that three rainbow meter sections are filled at stage start, where the chance of its activation is greater at higher levels. In versus mode, their effect is to instead grant a chance that an object, mainly a virus, is transformed into an [[exploder]] at stage start, where the chance of it happening is greater at higher levels.

Chain Chomps appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as part of Bowser's army. One appears when the army is rallied at [[Bowser's Castle]], where it is being ridden by a [[Koopa Troopa]] while another attempts to control it by holding its chain. Another Chain Chomp is later seen when Mario transforms into Tanooki Mario.

Chain Chomps have additionally made various recurring appearances in the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' games]], and are the first overall appearance of large-sized Chain Chomps, even before ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', Chain Chomps appear as enemies in {{iw|zeldawiki|Turtle Rock}}. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' features three domesticated Chain Chomps, one specific one under the name {{iw|zeldawiki|BowWow}}, stemming from the Japanese name for Chain Chomp, ''Wanwan'', which is also an onomatopoeia for a dog's bark. The other two are '''Mini Bow-Wows'''<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo Power Source|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19980205072931/http://www.nintendo.com/gb/zelda/items.html|title=Items|publisher=Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Strategy|accessdate=November 8, 2019}}</ref> that lack chains, being the first depiction of chainless Chain Chomps. They reappear in ''Link's Awakening''{{'}}s [[Game Boy Color]] version, and in the 2019 [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, which gives the smaller two names, being {{iw|zeldawiki|ChowChow}} and {{iw|zeldawiki|CiaoCiao}}. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords}}'' and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition}}'', a Chain Chomp can be used as an item to eat enemies, though it may attack other Links as well. ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures}}'' features a single Chain Chomp as an enemy. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'', a Chain Chomp is Link's level three {{iw|zeldawiki|Ball and Chain}} weapon upgrade when using his {{iw|zeldawiki|Gauntlets}} moveset. The Chain Chomp in said game uses the design from games prior to the in-game redesign in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' (and as such resembles its artwork for said game).

The recurring appearance of Chain Chomps throughout ''The Legend of Zelda'' series was allegedly started because [[Takashi Tezuka]] put one in a game as a joke.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=August 4, 2014|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_DZtTR3zu0&t=16m15s|timestamp=16:15|title=Hyrule Warriors Direct 8.4.2014|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 22, 2024}}</ref>

[[File:Bayo2 - Bayonetta and Chain Chomp.png|190x190px|left|thumb|[[Bayonetta]] with her Chain Chomp weapon]]

In ''{{iw|nwiki|Bayonetta 2}}'', a Chain Chomp is used as a weapon by [[Bayonetta]] and Jeanne. Upon completing the game on 3rd Climax (Hard Mode) or (in the [[Nintendo Switch]] version) scanning an [[amiibo]] relating to Bowser and his minions, a special Golden LP is unlocked. When the player returns to Rodin's Shop, Rodin immediately mentions the LP's importance. The LP contains the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] theme from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and when Rodin returns from Inferno, he brings the Chain Chomp, which can be equipped by both Bayonetta and Jeanne as a foot weapon, with them using the chain and the creature itself as a flail. Certain attacks also have the Chain Chomp shoot out lighter versions of itself that latch onto enemies and explode after a few seconds. As a reference to Bow Wow from ''Link's Awakening'', the Chain Chomp also automatically lunges at nearby enemies and chests, lightly damaging them, as well as wandering cats in certain stages.

|The left is artwork from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' while the right is artwork from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''; the in-game appearance for the former actually uses a facial design more similar to the latter.

Chomps resemble a ball with chains and come in various sizes, often bigger than Mario. They have big circular eyes, large gaping mouths, and razor-sharp teeth. Most also have a restraining tail-like chain, which is commonly tied to some sort of post to restrict their movement. These creatures are colored black or dark blue with bright white eyes and teeth (though they have appeared in other colors, such as [[Red Chomp|red]], blue, and yellow). Unlike most enemies from the ''Super Mario'' games, Chomps are usually not sapient compared to other enemies such as [[Goomba]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s; they can communicate, however, through dog-like barks (hence their Japanese name). Behavior-wise, they act similar to guard dogs. Some items, such as the [[Chomp Whistle]] and [[Pocket Chomp]], can be used to summon Chomps, displaying their traits of loyalty and obedience, similar to a dog. Chain Chomps have a tendency to sleep, as shown in some games such as ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', and various ''Mario Party'' minigames including [[Sneak 'n' Snore]].

The most notable changes to Chain Chomps throughout their appearances are their size proportion, and amount of their teeth. Chain Chomps in their earlier appearances have smaller teeth that are more equal size of each other, notably in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. These appearances depict them with black chains, eight teeth on the upper jaw, and nine teeth on the lower jaw (this teeth order is reversed in some games). In some appearances beginning in ''[[Yoshi Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', their teeth are generally larger in proportion to their bodies to compensate for having less teeth, and the teeth near the center are more noticeably bigger compared to those at the corners of the mouth. While subsequent games did not immediately use the different design, this design has eventually replaced the older designs in newer games.

Chomps are some of the stronger enemies in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. In a couple of games, they are invincible, and they usually have an above-average defense in RPGs. Many games seem to even hint that they are made of a hard, metallic substance. If they are not invincible in a game, they are shown to be quite resilient instead. For example, in ''Bowser's Inside Story'', they have a hole cut in their head and an enemy living inside them, yet are shown to be fine should Bowser [[Vacuum Block|inhale]] the enemy inside them. Their main method of attack is lunging at the enemy and biting them, though they are usually pulled back by their chains. Chainless Chomps, therefore, make for more difficult enemies, especially due to them generally being larger than their other brethren. With a few exceptions (such as in ''[[Paper Mario]]''), most Chomps that are not tied charge at their enemy instead of lunging.
