History
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Chomp Sharks are introduced in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where they appear in Marching Milde's Fort and KEEP MOVING!!!! In the former level, the Chomp Shark appears right after a group of Incoming Chomps. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after Yoshi, gnashing through anything in their way. Their appearances in certain levels make backtracking impossible, as they are almost invulnerable and will often eat anything on which Yoshi can land. Eventually, the Chomp Shark chases Yoshi to a platform it cannot eat and breaks its teeth, causing it to tear up in pain and fall off the screen.
Yoshi's Island DS
In Yoshi's Island DS, Chomp Sharks act exactly as they do in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and even use the same sprite, though due to the lighter colors it seems to have been based off the Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 sprite instead. One appears in Rompin', Stompin' Chomps.
Yoshi's New Island
In Yoshi's New Island, a Chomp Shark is the main feature of Chomp Shark Chase. Their teeth no longer crack, although, they still tear in pain.
Super Princess Peach
In Super Princess Peach, Chomp Sharks are called Big Chain Chomps, a more accurate rendition of their Japanese name. Rather than eating terrain, Big Chain Chomps are usually found bouncing down hills provided with gaps in which the princess and her umbrella may hide. Some of them are also seen periodically falling down pits. They are noticeably smaller in this game due to their sprite not being stretched. One is also seen in the background of the Wavy Beach world select screen, bouncing on the water surface, resembling Incoming Chomps' background sprites. According to the game's Glossary, Big Chain Chomp is "A giant Chain Chomp. Very dangerous!".
