'''Flame Chomps''', originally '''Fire Chomps''',<ref>{{cite|language=en|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=36|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1990}}</ref> are enemies first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are [[Chain Chomp]]-like creatures that float along with a trail of four [[fireball]]s each. At any time, a Flame Chomp may shoot a fireball from its "tail" at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. When it runs out of fireballs, the Flame Chomp explodes, damaging the player if they are within the blast radius. Flame Chomps are not very durable, unlike Chain Chomps, because they are vulnerable to being [[stomp]]ed and having [[fireball]]s thrown at them.
 
'''Flame Chomps''' (also named '''Kuromame''' in [[Super Mario 64]] and '''Fire Chomps'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 36.</ref>) are enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They resemble [[Chain Chomp]]s, but differ in several ways. First, they are not restricted by chains, and instead float along with a trail of four [[fireball]]s. At any time, they may shoot fireballs from their "tail" at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. When it runs out of fireballs, the Flame Chomp will explode, damaging the Mario brother if they are within the blast radius. Also, unlike Chain Chomps, they are vulnerable to stomps and [[Fire Mario|Fire Mario/Luigi's]] fireballs. They live mainly in the skies.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Flame Chomps (under the name '''Fire Chomp''') only appear in [[Sky Land]] and [[Ice Land]]. They float along as Mario and Luigi navigate the stage, harrying Mario's progress on the small platform with their fireballs. They are especially troublesome in World 5-9, where the player has a limited amount of platforms they can jump onto, in addition to an automatically scrolling screen. After using up their fireballs, Fire Chomps will continue to follow Mario or Luigi shortly before exploding like [[Bob-omb]]s. They can be defeated with [[Stomping|stomps]], [[fireball|fireballs]], [[Hammer Mario|hammers]], [[Star|Starmen]], and tail whacks. In this game, their faces only appear when they shoot their fireballs.
Fire Chomps are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They are featureless black orbs that follow the player, occasionally stopping to reveal their face briefly and spit a fireball. After using up their fireballs, Fire Chomps continue to follow the player, flashing red before exploding like [[Bob-omb]]s. They can be defeated with stomps, fireballs, [[hammer]]s, [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]], and [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail whips. Regardless of how they are beaten, however, Fire Chomps would always respawn until they self-destruct.


====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
;Level appearances
[[File:FireChompSM64DS.png|frame|right]] In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' Flame Chomps called Kuromames, with the exception of [[Super Mario 64 DS]]. They remain motionless and have the same effect as them, shooting a flame at the player when they approach;  they can be eaten by Yoshi, allowing him to breathe fire. Due to the nature of their roles, it is their first, and so far, the only appearance where they do not self-destruct or run out of fire. In [[Super Mario 64]], they don't have a face.

{{main|Flame thrower (Flame Chomp)}}
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', while no normal Fire Chomps appear in the game, [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|a derivative]] is introduced. They are motionless and shoot a homing fireball when the player approaches. Unlike usual Fire Chomps, they do not self-destruct or run out of fire. These objects originally lacked faces or an explicit connection to Fire Chomps, which were given to them starting with the remake.

Flame Chomps return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as very uncommon enemies, since they only appeared in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros.)#World 7-1|World 7-1]], though they are very featured. They retain their previous characteristics and weaknesses from Super Mario Bros 3., wiith the exception that they now show their faces at all times.
Flame Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are encountered in [[World 7-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]] only. Flame Chomps act the same as before, but a difference with their appearance is that their face is now shown at all times.

Flame Chomps are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Compared to previous appearances, when a Flame Chomp has no more fireballs, it begins to go after the player much faster before exploding. As usual, they can be defeated with a stomp or fireballs, and can also be frozen with [[Ice Ball]]s. Their look was further standardized from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' in that Flame Chomps now have five teeth.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Flame Chomps are a bit more common, appearing in [[World 2-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-6]], [[World 8-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-3]], and [[World 9-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-6]]. Flame Chomps have a minor addition to their attack pattern; once out of fireballs, it begins chasing Mario much faster before exploding. They can be defeated with a stomp or fireballs, and can also be frozen with [[Ice Ball]]s.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', there is only one Flame Chomp in the entire game, located in a hidden room in Peach's Castle-3: Rising Tides of Lava. It must be bounced off of to obtain the stage's third Star Coin, and acts the same as its previous appearances.

Flame Chomps also appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', the first game where they are referred to by their current name. They also have a new attack, which involves shooting all the fireballs in their "tail" at once, creating a larger fireball. Many of them appear in [[Flame Chomp Ferris Wheel]].

Only one Flame Chomp appears as an enemy in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It is encountered in a hidden room in [[Rising Tides of Lava]]. Flame Chomps are also enemies in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', this time as part of their own level, [[Flame Chomp Ferris Wheel]], where a total of sixteen are encountered. Flame Chomps had their behavior modified: They now draw in their entire fiery "tail" to shoot out a massive fireball then chomp in place while flashing red and self-destructing eventually.
====''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''====
Flame Chomps are enemies who can become allies to the player in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. A Flame Chomp's attribute is [[Fire Flower|Fire]], meaning that it is powerless against [[Penguin Suit|Water]], yet strong to [[Super Leaf|Wood]]. Flame Chomps have relatively high HP and they are very efficient in regenerating their team's health points. Instead, their attack point rating is a little poor. The main skill of any Flame Chomp in the game is called Flame Dance, which increases the attack rating of every Fire-type team mate by 1.3 for five turns. Flame Chomps also have a secondary skill, the Skill Boost; when the player enters a course, this skill helps by reducing the number of turns till the main skill can be used.

In the show, Fire Chomps don't have a fireball tail, and have flexible borders around their eyes (which this time are red) and mouth. Flame Chomps also appeared during the [[Never Koop a Koopa]] episode. They tried to attack [[Mario]] inside [[Castle Koopa]] but [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] opened the window and let them fall into the water.

A Fire Chomp appears in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', prowling a cave in the Magma Pits. While Luigi is fleeing from the [[Hot Foot|Hot Feet]] that also live in the cave, he can choose to either rush blindly ahead, or take his time; if he chooses the latter, he will just narrowly avoid the Fire Chomp, but if he picks the former, he will run into and be scorched by the fireballs of the Fire Chomp, causing a [[Game Over]].

Flame Chomps, originally Fire Chomps,[1] are enemies first appearing in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are Chain Chomp-like creatures that float along with a trail of four fireballs each. At any time, a Flame Chomp may shoot a fireball from its "tail" at Mario or Luigi. When it runs out of fireballs, the Flame Chomp explodes, damaging the player if they are within the blast radius. Flame Chomps are not very durable, unlike Chain Chomps, because they are vulnerable to being stomped and having fireballs thrown at them.

HistoryEdit

Super Mario seriesEdit

Super Mario Bros. 3Edit

 
Fire Chomp's original artwork for Super Mario Bros. 3

Fire Chomps are enemies in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are featureless black orbs that follow the player, occasionally stopping to reveal their face briefly and spit a fireball. After using up their fireballs, Fire Chomps continue to follow the player, flashing red before exploding like Bob-ombs. They can be defeated with stomps, fireballs, hammers, invincibility, and Raccoon Mario or Tanooki Mario's tail whips. Regardless of how they are beaten, however, Fire Chomps would always respawn until they self-destruct.

Main article: Flame thrower (Flame Chomp)

In Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, while no normal Fire Chomps appear in the game, a derivative is introduced. They are motionless and shoot a homing fireball when the player approaches. Unlike usual Fire Chomps, they do not self-destruct or run out of fire. These objects originally lacked faces or an explicit connection to Fire Chomps, which were given to them starting with the remake.

New Super Mario Bros.Edit

Flame Chomps are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. They are encountered in World 7-1 only. Flame Chomps act the same as before, but a difference with their appearance is that their face is now shown at all times.

New Super Mario Bros. WiiEdit

Flame Chomps are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Compared to previous appearances, when a Flame Chomp has no more fireballs, it begins to go after the player much faster before exploding. As usual, they can be defeated with a stomp or fireballs, and can also be frozen with Ice Balls. Their look was further standardized from New Super Mario Bros. in that Flame Chomps now have five teeth.

New Super Mario Bros. 2Edit

Flame Chomps are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. 2. Their characteristics and weaknesses are the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Only one Flame Chomp appears as an enemy in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is encountered in a hidden room in Rising Tides of Lava. Flame Chomps are also enemies in New Super Luigi U, this time as part of their own level, Flame Chomp Ferris Wheel, where a total of sixteen are encountered. Flame Chomps had their behavior modified: They now draw in their entire fiery "tail" to shoot out a massive fireball then chomp in place while flashing red and self-destructing eventually.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3Edit

Fire Chomps make a few appearances in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, such as in the episode "The Beauty of Kootie", where several Fire Chomps act as crew members on the Doom Ship.

In the show, Fire Chomps do not have a fireball tail, and have flexible borders around their eyes (which this time are red) and mouth. Fire Chomps also appeared during the episode "Never Koop a Koopa". They tried to attack Mario inside Castle Koopa, but Toad and Princess Toadstool opened the window and let them fall into the water.

Nintendo Adventure BooksEdit

A Fire Chomp appears in Koopa Capers, prowling a cave in the Magma Pits. While Luigi is fleeing from the Hot Feet that also live in the cave, he can choose to either rush blindly ahead, or take his time; if he chooses the latter, he will just narrowly avoid the Fire Chomp, but if he picks the former, he will run into and be scorched by the fireballs of the Fire Chomp, causing a Game Over.

Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow UpEdit

A single Fire Chomp appears on the Homemaker page in Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DSEdit

SmashWiki article: Flame Chomp

Flame Chomps are enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Like in previous games, they breathe fireballs at the player and explode shortly after losing all of their fireballs. The fire trail can also damage the player if they run into it. They are weak to the water effect.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. EditionEdit

Flame Chomps are enemies who can become allies to the player in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. A Flame Chomp's attribute is Fire, meaning that it is powerless against Water, yet strong to Wood. Flame Chomps have relatively high HP and they are very efficient in regenerating their team's health points. Instead, their attack point rating is a little poor. The main skill of any Flame Chomp in the game is called Flame Dance, which increases the attack rating of every Fire-type team mate by 1.3 for five turns. Flame Chomps also have a secondary skill, the Skill Boost; when the player enters a course, this skill helps by reducing the number of turns till the main skill can be used.

In the game's commercial, Flame Chomps are used to demonstrate fusion between enemies.[citation needed]

Mario & Luigi: Paper JamEdit

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, "Flame Chomp" can appear as a wrong answer when identifying a certain enemy in the Toad quizzes.

MinecraftEdit

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Blazes are replaced by Flame Chomps.

I knew it was a bomb

The black ball floats in the air and approaches Mario. When it stops moving, it will spit flames from its mouth. You can defeat it by simply stepping on it, but beware that it will try to self-destruct and wreak havoc on you at the end.

If you thought Chain Chomps were bad, wait till you meet Flame Chomps. They use the flames that make up their tail as ammo, and when they run out, they head straight for you and self-destruct. When you defeat one, it'll explode and take out any enemies nearby, and it'll leave a whole load of stat boosts behind, too. (American English)
