History

Yoshi's Island series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

A Shark Chomp from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Shark Chomps (also named Bow Wow[3] or Giant Chomp-Chomp[4]) 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 Chomps. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after Yoshi, and destroy any soft rocks 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, Shark Chomps appears as background elements in Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros Brawl) where depending on the climate of the stage they will change their way of acting.

Chomp Sharks

WarioWare: Move It!

In WarioWare: Move It! Shark Chomps appear in the minigame Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island where they act in the same way as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

The two-player version of the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island microgame in WarioWare: Move It!

  • Shogakukan guide: 足場をバクバク食べながら、猛スピードで追いかけてくる。こんなにデカいと、ほんとにヒヤ汗もの。[5] (They chase after you at breakneck speed, eating the platforms. When they are this big, they really make you sweat.)
  • Player's Guide: They eat everything in their path, including the path itself. Move fast or you'll be shark bait![1]
  • Shogakukan guide (Game Boy Advance version): 足場あしばをバクバクべながら、もうスピードでいかけてる。ひたすらげるしかない![6] (They chase after you at breakneck speed, eating the platforms. All you can do is run!)

Yoshi's New Island

  • Shogakukan guide: 画面かめん左側ひだりがわからあらわれ、こわれるブロックをかみくだきながらもうスピードでみぎすすむ。接触せっしょくするとミスとなるので、いつかれないようにはしつづけよう。たお方法ほうほうはない。[7] (It appears from the left side of the screen and moves to the right at high speed, crushing blocks in its path. If you make contact with it, you will miss, so keep running to avoid it catching up to you. There is no way to defeat it.)

Notes

Sprite of a Chomp from Yoshi's Story
  • 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 Player's Guide also takes note of their in-game size.[8]
