'''Big Chomp''' and '''Little Chomp''' are two [[Chain Chomp]]s whose only appearance is in the [[Game Guy]] [[minigame]] [[Game Guy's Sweet Surprise]] from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.
 
In Game Guy's Sweet Surprise, Big Chomp and Little Chomp will each race to eat a [[cake]], and the player must bet all their [[coin]]s on whichever Chomp they think will finish first. Big Chomp's payout will always double the player's coins, while Little Chomp's payout will multiply their coins by either 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64. Picking the losing Chomp would result in the player losing all their coins.
 
Players can also read a description of both Big Chomp and Little Chomp's moods, taking them into consideration while making their selection. More often than not, the odds of Big Chomp succeeding will be higher than Little Chomp, due to its greater appetite. However, Little Chomp will triumph over Big Chomp on occasion.
 
==Mechanics==
The probability that the Little Chomp wins depends greatly on the multiplier assigned to it. At fixed intervals, one of the two Chomps will take a bite of the cake, with a 40% chance of taking a second bite. The first Chomp to take 6 or more bites wins.<ref>[http://www.jengerer.com/big-chomp-and-little-chomp/ Blog post detailing reverse engineering of the mini-game]</ref>

|-
! Multiplier !! Probability of Little Chomp Getting the Bite

| 4× || 50%
|-
| 8× || 40%
|-
| 16× || 30%
|-
| 32× || 20%

Running 5 million simulations using the above values, we get the following approximate win percentages for the Little Chomp:
