'''Homing Chomps'''<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' entry on the official Mario Portal|language=en|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.12-233946/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/galaxy2/?lang=en}}</ref> (also known as '''Silver Chomps''')<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=25|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are giant silver [[Chain Chomp|Chomps]] with yellow rings around their eyes, red irises, and pupils that are constantly rolling around out of sync with each other. Unlike other Chomps, Homing Chomps always roll towards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and try to hit him. Homing Chomps can be defeated either by [[Rainbow Mario]], by pushing them off a cliff while on a [[Star Ball]], or from using a [[rubbery bulb]].
'''Silver Chomps''' are a new type of [[Chain Chomp]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble giant silver [[Chomp (enemy)|Chomp]]s with red pupils and yellow lining surrounding its pupils. A single Silver Chomp first appears in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]] in the mission ''[[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy#Silver Chomp Grudge Match|Silver Chomp Grudge Match]]''. One later appears in the [[Slipsand Galaxy]], in the mission ''[[Slipsand Galaxy#Sailing the Sandy Seas|Sailing the Sandy Seas]]''. A total of four Silver Chomps later appear in the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]] on the final planet in ''[[Battle Belt Galaxy#Mini-Planet Mega-Run|Mini-Planet Mega-Run]]'' and ''[[Battle Belt Galaxy#Mini-Planet Daredevil Run|Mini-Planet Daredevil Run]]''. They often appear as a miniboss who guards the star.


An extremely large Homing Chomp appears in the E3 2009 trailer of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', though it [[list of Super Mario Galaxy 2 pre-release and unused content|never made it into the final game]]. In the trailer, it seems to be acting similarly to [[Sorbetti]] during the boss battle in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]]. Within the game's "ObjNameTable" file, there is a removed "<tt>WanwanSearchBig</tt>" entry,<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Galaxy 2/Removed Objects|''Super Mario Galaxy 2''/Removed Objects]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=June 6, 2022}}</ref> which is likely a remnant of this.
These enemies can only be defeated by [[Rainbow Mario]], by pushing them off a cliff while on a [[Star Ball]], or by the use of a [[Stretch Plant]]. What makes these enemies unique from other Chomps is that they will actually home in on Mario or Luigi.

==Trivia==
*An extremely large Silver Chomp appeared in the E3 2009 trailer of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', though it never made it into the final game. In the trailer, it seemed to be acting similar to [[Sorbetti]] during the boss battle in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], so it is possible that this Silver Chomp was originally intended to be a boss, but was replaced by Sorbetti in the final version of the game. The game designers may have decided to compensate for this by downgrading the Silver Chomp to a lesser enemy instead, and incorporating it into several levels nevertheless.
