[[File:ChompSharkSMW2.gif|frame]]
Shark Chomps (also named '''Bow Wow'''<ref>{{cite|date=September 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) #30|publisher=Catalyst Publishing|language=en-au|page=12}}</ref> or '''Giant Chomp-Chomp'''<ref>{{cite|quote='''''MARCHING MILDE'S FORT''' The first four coins and flower are all out in the open but Yoshi has to find them quickly before he is caught in the razor-toothed jaws of the Giant Chomp-Chomp.''|date=April 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #43|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb|page=66}}</ref>) are introduced as one of the three varieties of "Chomps" in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they appear in [[Marching Milde's Fort]] and [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]] In the former level, the Shark Chomp appears right after a group of [[Incoming Chomp]]s. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], and destroy any [[soft rock]]s they touch as they do, flying through the air as they chase him. They are invulnerable to all of Yoshi's attacks. Backtracking is not possible in the sections in which they appear, as the entire ground in the sections they appear in is composed of soft rocks that are destroyed by the Shark Chomp. Shark Chomp chase sections always end with a solid platform on which the Shark Chomp breaks its teeth, causing it to tear up in pain and fall off the screen.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Shark Chomps 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, though they still tear up in pain.

===''Super Smash Bros. series''===
In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Shark Chomps appears as background elements in ''[https://www.ssbwiki.com/Yoshi%27s_Island_(SSBB) Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros Brawl)]'' where depending on the climate of the stage they will change their way of acting.[[File:SmashBrosUltimate Yoshi Island Chomp Shark.png|300px|thumb]]

===''WarioWare: Move It!''===
In WarioWare: Move It! Shark Chomps appear in the minigame [[Super_Mario_World_2:_Yoshi's_Island_(microgame)|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]] where they act in the same way as in [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]].[[File:WWMI Yoshi's Island microgame 2 player version.png|300px|thumb|left]]

==Notes==
[[File:YSChomp.png|frame]]
*The Chomps in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', which also constantly move forward while perpetually chomping, are quite similar to and may have been based on Shark Chomps. The [[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Player's Guide]] also takes note of their in-game size.<ref>{{cite|quote=''Three mammoth Chomps guard four melons, and, to borrow a line from another story, “My what big teeth they have!”''|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|date=1998|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=79}}</ref>
