So the large Chain Chomps from SPP are called Big Chain Chomps, even though they have no chain. Chain Chomps that are oversized and have no chain are known as Chomps. This is nothing more than an error and if you look at its japanese name you can see that Chomp Shark had the exact same error. VOIDTHIS (talk) 13:38, 17 July 2018 (CEST)

A similar discussion is over here, but in regards to the Chomp / Chain Chomp difference - there are instances where "Chain Chomps" are known as "Chomps" (ex. Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario) and instances where "Chomps" are known as "Chain Chomps" (ex. Super Mario Maker), and some languages such as Japanese don't change between the two, so it's possible that the distinction isn't as tight as we've made it out to be. Size is also something that differs depending on the game; for example, the Chain Chomps of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine are fairly large, yet the respective games consider them to be normal Chain Chomps.

The fairly large Chain Chomps from SM64 and SMS are described as normal ones, but there aren't even smaller ones to compare them to. However there are Chain Chomps in SPP that are smaller than the Big Chain Chomp, so they are counted as oversized in this game, but they look like Chomps. VOIDTHIS (talk) 17:15, 17 July 2018 (CEST)

The Big Chain Chomp from Super Princess Peach is still clearly named in relation to the game's standard Chain Chomp, so if anything, that is further evidence that the line between what we consider Chomps and Chain Chomps is thin. Besides, would it not make more sense to split it into a "Big Chain Chomp (Super Princess Peach)" article? LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:34, 17 July 2018 (EDT)

Yeah, I think the Big Chain Chomp (Super Princess Peach) article would be the best thing we could do. I'll make a proposal some time or you can do it yourself if you want. VOIDTHIS (talk) 18:37, 17 July 2018 (CEST)

The thing is that the other discussion is about merging it with Shark Chomp (Shark Chomp has fairly different behavior, but the behavior of unchained Chomps in general has never been consistent), so the proposal should probably have multiple options to address both, though I agree that if unchained Chomps and Chain Chomps are to remain separate, then it stands out if the Super Princess Peach Big Chain Chomp shares the same space as the others.
