Chain Chomp's Lava Lunge (known as Chain Chomp Showdown in the British English version) is a Boss Minigame in Mario Party: Island Tour. It is played and unlocked on the 10th floor of Bowser's Tower.

Overview[edit]

The minigame takes place on a dark-blue platform with four metal grates suspended by chains above a pool of lava. In the intro, a cave can be seen, north of where the minigame takes place. The opening of the cave is shaped like a Chain Chomp's upper jaw, complete with sharp teeth, and two small torches are in front of the cave, to the left and right each. There are also thick, metallic Chain Chomp chains embedded into the cave walls to the left and right. Lava Geysers can be seen in the background, both during the intro and minigame.

At the start of the minigame, a Chain Chomp comes out of the cave and jumps onto one of the metal grates, allowing the lava to seep through the grates and burn the Chain Chomp, revealing its weakness.

To defeat the Chain Chomp, the player must avoid its attacks, which can vary from two to three lunges at the player, until the Chain Chomp jumps to where the player was last standing. If the player stood over a metal grate, the Chain Chomp will burn itself and receive damage.

When the Chain Chomp is at half health, it becomes angry. At this point, its attacks will become faster and each time it hits one of the metal grates, the other three will be engulfed in lava for a few seconds, which will damage the player if they touch them. Upon defeat, Chain Chomp disappears.
