Big Chain Chomp: Difference between revisions

A '''Big Chain Chomp''' (referred to in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series as a '''Chomp Shark''' or '''Shark Chomp'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. {{media link|SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128}}.</ref><ref>Williams, Drew. ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide. Pages 73 and 112.</ref>) is an especially large variety of [[Chain Chomp]]. Large Chain Chomps appear in many other games, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games; however, the ones in those games are treated as the normal-sized Chain Chomps.

Shark Chomps (also named '''Bow Wow'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) #30, page 12.</ref> or '''Giant Chomp-Chomp'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #43, page 66. "'''''MARCHING MILDE'S FORT''' The first four coins and flower are all out in the open but Yoshi has to find them quickly before he is caught in the razor-toothed jaws of the Giant Chomp-Chomp.''"</ref>) are introduced as one of the three varieties of "Chomps" in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they appear in [[Marching Milde's Fort]] and [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]] In the former level, the Shark Chomp appears right after a group of [[Incoming Chomp]]s. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], and destroy any [[soft rock]]s they touch as they do, flying through the air as they chase him. They are invulnerable to all of Yoshi's attacks. Backtracking is not possible in the sections in which they appear, as the entire ground in the sections they appear in is composed of soft rocks that are destroyed by the Shark Chomp. Shark Chomp chase sections always end with a solid platform on which the Shark Chomp breaks its teeth, causing it to tear up in pain and fall off the screen.

*The Chomps in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', which also constantly move forward while perpetually chomping, are quite similar to and may have been based on Shark Chomps. The [[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Player's Guide]] also takes note of their in-game size.<ref>Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland. ''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Page 79.
