Editing Flame Chomp

[[File:SMB3 FireChomp.jpg|thumb|left|Fire Chomp's original artwork for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]

Fire Chomps are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are featureless black orbs that follow the player, occasionally stopping to reveal their face briefly and spit a fireball. After using up their fireballs, Fire Chomps continue to follow the player, flashing red before exploding like [[Bob-omb]]s. They can be defeated with stomps, fireballs, [[hammer]]s, [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]], and [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail whips. Regardless of how they are beaten, however, Fire Chomps would always respawn until they self-destruct.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

{{main|Flame thrower (Flame Chomp)}}

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', while no normal Fire Chomps appear in the game, [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|a derivative]] is introduced. They are motionless and shoot a homing fireball when the player approaches. Unlike usual Fire Chomps, they do not self-destruct or run out of fire. These objects originally lacked faces or an explicit connection to Fire Chomps, which were given to them starting with the remake.

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

Flame Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are encountered in [[World 7-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] only. Flame Chomps act the same as before, but a difference with their appearance is that their face is now shown at all times.

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

Flame Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Compared to previous appearances, when a Flame Chomp has no more fireballs, it begins to go after the player much faster before exploding. As usual, they can be defeated with a stomp or fireballs, and can also be frozen with [[Ice Ball]]s. Their look was further standardized from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' in that Flame Chomps now have five teeth.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Flame Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Their characteristics and weaknesses are the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

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

Flame Chomps are enemies who can become allies to the player in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. A Flame Chomp's attribute is [[Fire Flower|Fire]], meaning that it is powerless against [[Penguin Suit|Water]], yet strong to [[Super Leaf|Wood]]. Flame Chomps have relatively high HP and they are very efficient in regenerating their team's health points. Instead, their attack point rating is a little poor. The main skill of any Flame Chomp in the game is called Flame Dance, which increases the attack rating of every Fire-type team mate by 1.3 for five turns. Flame Chomps also have a secondary skill, the Skill Boost; when the player enters a course, this skill helps by reducing the number of turns till the main skill can be used.
