Players can also read a description of both Big Chomp and Little Chomp's moods, taking them into consideration while making their selection. More often than not, the odds of Big Chomp succeeding will be higher than Little Chomp, due to its greater appetite. However, Little Chomp will triumph over Big Chomp on occasion.

So it is always optimal to choose the little chomp when the multiplier is 4x.

Big Chomp and Little Chomp, Mario Party 3

Big Chomp and Little Chomp are two Chain Chomps whose only appearance is in the Game Guy minigame Game Guy's Sweet Surprise from Mario Party 3.

In Game Guy's Sweet Surprise, Big Chomp and Little Chomp will each race to eat a cake, and the player must bet all their coins on whichever Chomp they think will finish first. Big Chomp's payout will always double the player's coins, while Little Chomp's payout will multiply their coins by either 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64. Picking the losing Chomp would result in the player losing all their coins.

Players can also read a description of both Big Chomp and Little Chomp's moods, taking them into consideration while making their selection. More often than not, the odds of Big Chomp succeeding will be higher than Little Chomp, due to its greater appetite. However, Little Chomp will triumph over Big Chomp on occasion.

Mechanics

At fixed intervals, one of the two Chomps will take either one bite or two of the cake. The first Chomp to take 6 or more bites wins. The probability that the Little Chomp takes the bite are shown below:

Multiplier Probability
4x 50%
8x 40%
16x 30%
32x 20%
64x 10%

And the probability of either Chomp taking two bites instead of one on a winning roll is 40%. Running 1 million simulations using the above values, we get the following approximate win percentages for the Little Chomp:

Multiplier Win Probability
4x 50%
8x 29%
16x 12.75%
32x 3.5%
64x 0.35%

So it is always optimal to choose the little chomp when the multiplier is 4x.

Quotes

Both Chain Chomps can say anything listed below.

  • "I'm so hungry I could faint..."
  • "I haven't eaten since this morning."
  • "Love that cake!"
  • "I'm starvin'!"
  • "Food! Food!!!"
  • "No...more cake..."
  • "My tummy hurts..."
  • "It's too sweet..."
  • "I like mushrooms more than cake."
  • "Feed 'em faster!"
