A '''Chain Chomplet''' is a relative of the [[Chain Chomp]] that has only appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It has a personality like their main species, but they look different in appearance. They appear to be young Chomps, made up of two spherical sections with a collar dividing each part. The only known Chomplets live in [[Pianta Village]] on [[Isle Delfino]]; a female red [[Pianta]] called the [[Chomp Keeper]] owns them. They leave a trail of lava goo when they are mad.

Chain Chomplets are in the first episode of Pianta Village. In the episode, [[Mario]] has to calm down the fevered Chain Chomps. To complete the episode the Chian Chomplets must be cooled off with [[FLUDD]]. Once this is done, their tails can be grabbed. Releasing the tail slingshots the Chain Chomplet, hopefully into the river where they will cool off completely.
A large Chain Chomp in [[Chain Chomp's Bath|Episode 4]] is similar or possibly related to the Chain Chomplets, since it also has to be calmed and cooled, and its color changes upon being placed in a pool of water.
 
The name "Chomplet" is displayed on the score chart in both {{a|MGTT|l}} and {{a|MGAT|l}}.

Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Chain Chomplets, also referred to as Chain Chompers,[1] are young Chain Chomps (or relatives of them) owned by a female bright red Pianta at Pianta Village in Super Mario Sunshine. They behave similarly to their parent species, but they make a noise that sounds like a puppy barking. Chain Chomplets are made up of two spherical sections with a collar dividing each part, and their chains appear to be their tails; contrarily, the head is the only part of a Chain Chomp's body. Chain Chomplets are of a silver color when permanently cooled off, orange when angry, and black when temporarily calmed by a Water Barrel or FLUDD. While angry, Chain Chomplets leave a trail of burning goop and have small flames on their chains.

Fevered Chain Chomplets are the focus of Episode 1. They hop along the paths and generally do not pay attention to Mario. Chain Chomplets have to be cooled off with water,[2] specifically from FLUDD.[3] Before the Chain Chomplet can heat back up, the player can press B Button to grab its tail before launching it.[4] The Chain Chomplet has to be launched into a nearby river.[5] After all three cool off, Mario can obtain the Shine Sprite.[6]

A large Chain Chomp in Episode 4 is similar or possibly related to the Chain Chomplets, since it also has to be calmed and cooled, and its color changes upon being placed in a pool of water.

The name "Chomplet" is displayed on the score chart in both Mario Golf Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
