Kinklink



Kinklinks are a variety of Chomps that are used to hold up chandeliers in Bowser's Keep. During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Mario and Bowser actually fought on a pair of chandeliers, each one being held up by a Kinklink. Bowser proved too difficult to defeat, so Mario (with some timely advice from Princess Peach) attacked the Kinklink holding up Bowser's chandelier instead. As a result, the Kinklink dropped the chandelier and (more importantly) the Koopa king. However, as Bowser fell, he started to throw Hammers at Mario's Kinklink. Eventually, the second Kinklink drops Mario, sending the hero plummeting to the ground below.

Chomp Shells, a type of weapon used by Bowser, are the shells of Kinklinks.

Trivia

 * It may be noted that "Link" is in the Kinklink's name. Though it is likely simply a coincidence, the only Chain Chomps to appear in a Legend of Zelda game were the Bow-Wows in Link's Awakening.
