'''Chomp Sharks''',<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide, pages 76 & 114.</ref> or '''Shark Chomps''',<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are giant sized [[Chain Chomp (unchained)|Chomp]]s that constantly move forward while gnashing their jaws. The player is unable to fight them in any way, and as such must simply run from or otherwise avoid them.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
Chomp Sharks are introduced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they appear in [[Marching Milde's Fort]] and [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]] In the former level, the Chomp Shark appears right after a group of [[Incoming Chomp]]s. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], gnashing through anything in their way. Their appearances in certain levels make backtracking impossible, as they are almost invulnerable and will often eat anything on which Yoshi can land. Eventually, the Chomp Shark chases Yoshi to a platform it cannot eat and breaks its teeth, causing it to tear up in pain and fall off the screen.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Chomp Sharks act exactly as they do in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and even use the same sprite, though due to the lighter colors it seems to have been based off the ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' sprite instead. One appears in [[Rompin', Stompin' Chomps]].

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', a Chomp Shark is the main feature of [[Chomp Shark Chase]]. Their teeth no longer crack, although, they still tear in pain.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:BigChainChomp SPP.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Chomp Sharks are called '''Big Chain Chomps''', a more accurate rendition of their Japanese name. They are found in [[Giddy Sky]], specifically [[Giddy Sky 7-2]] and [[Giddy Sky 7-8]]. Rather than eating terrain, Big Chain Chomps are usually found bouncing down hills provided with gaps in which the princess and her umbrella may hide. Some of them are also seen periodically falling down [[pit]]s. They are noticeably smaller in this game, but still much larger than normal Chain Chomps. One is also seen in the background of the [[Wavy Beach]] world select screen, bouncing on the water surface, resembling Incoming Chomps' background sprites. According to the game's Glossary, Big Chain Chomp is "A giant Chain Chomp. Very dangerous!".

==Trivia==
[[File:Yoshi's Story Chomp.gif|frame]]
*The huge Chomps in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', which also constantly move forward while perpetually chomping, are quite similar to and may have been based off the Chomp Shark.
