====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
Chomp Rocks first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' as a common object. They are generally used for moving through soft rock and reaching high areas, but in some levels, they are an obstacle, such as when they need to be rolled off a thin pillar to reach a key. Some [[Slugger]]s hit these back and forth. Yoshi can push Chomp Rocks forward or jump on top of them to roll them in any direction. He can use Chomp Rocks to crush most enemies, even otherwise-invulnerable foes, such as a [[Tap-Tap]]. [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]] is themed after them.

Chomp Rocks come in gray and brown in this game, the difference being that the gray ones will respawn at their starting point if the player leaves the screen and comes back, while the brown ones will not.

====''Yoshi's Woolly World''====
===''Club Nintendo''===
Chomp Rocks reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting the same as in previous ''Yoshi'' games.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caS_eSIKIj0</ref> In this game, they resemble [[wikipedia:amigurumi|amigurumi]] crochet spheres that come in many different color variations with white buttons for eyes. [[Frame Chomp]]s can be turned into a Chomp Rock if [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] throws a yarn ball at one. The color of the Chomp Rock is determined by the color of yarn used.
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Mario's Picross (comic)|Mario's Picross]]", [[Mario]] is arrested and locked up inside of a pyramid. He comes across a treasure chamber with a chest inside. When trying to pick up the treasure chest, a Chomp Rock is released through a trap door and starts rolling towards Mario. He escapes from the rock by jumping into a [[Mine Cart|lorry]] and moving away.


===Other appearances===

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Two Chomp Rocks appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in the [[Palace of Shadow]]'s [[Riddle Tower]] area, blocking the [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] that Mario needs to unlock the tower. Actual Chain-Chomps guard the pipes. In this incarnation, the rocks are hollow and have open mouths. Mario can destroy the rocks by throwing [[Admiral Bobbery]] into the gaping maws of the rocks. When Bobbery explodes, the rock is destroyed.

Brown Chomp Rocks make an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where the Yoshis are needed to move them on two occasions to open up new paths in [[Yoob's Belly]]. Five Yoshis can also use a Chomp Rock to lower [[Sunnycide]]'s defense after the Bros. free them from Yoob eggs.
