'''Fire Chomps''' resemble [[Chain Chomp]], but differ in several ways. First, they are not restricted by chains, instead floating along with a tail made of fire. At any time, they may shoot [[Fireball|fireballs]] at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. The fireballs are taken directly out of their four-fireball tail. When all four have been fired, the Fire Chomp will self-destruct, damaging the Mario brother if he's within the blast radius, They live mainly in the skies. [[Amps]] have the same face as Fire Chomps. 

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Fire Chomps only appear in Worlds 5 and 6. They float along as Mario and Luigi navigate the stage, harrying Mario's progress on the small platforms, especially in World 5-9, where the player has a limited amount of platforms he can jump onto in addition to an automatically-scrolling screen.  They can be defeated with stomps, hammers, Star, and tail whacks.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3===
[[File:CartoonFireChomp.jpg|thumb|Several Fire Chomps from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
Fire Chomps made several appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', such as in the episode "[[The Beauty of Kootie]]", where several Fire Chomps act as crew members on [[Bowser]]'s [[Airship|Doomship]].

===''New Super Mario Bros.===

Fire Chomps return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', again with a four fireball limit. They only appeared in World 7-1. They can be defeated by just jumping on their heads. Unlike Chain Chomps, which are almost invincible (bar a few techniques and powers of special characters), Fire Chomps can safely be [[Jump|jumped]] upon. Doing so knocks them out of the sky. Once they run out of fireballs, they explode.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii===
[[File:Burning Ball.png|frame|left]] 
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Fire Chomps were a bit more common, appearing in World 2-6, World 8-3, and World 9-6.   Fire Chomps have the same attack pattern as in the previous game but have now developed a new attack in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. When this enemy runs out of fire, it will flash red and self-destruct seconds later, but not before chasing Mario much faster than it was originally doing. They can be defeated with a single jump like in the previous game, but oddly enough they can be defeated with [[Fireball|fireballs]].

==Possible Appearances==
