First appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)
Variant of Chain Chomp

Mecha-Chomps are Chain Chomp-like enemies that only appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are found at Woohoo Hooniversity, where they only appear during battles with Laser Snifits in the basement. Mecha-Chomps have a grey canine-like body, a retractable neck, a large LED display presumably used as an eye, and wheels for moving around. They appear to be based on real-life toy robotic dogs, such as Tekno the Robotic Puppy.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they are replaced by Mechakoopas.

Battle[edit]

The Mecha-Chomp wheels itself towards the Bros., then stops as the LED on its head cycles between red and green, eventually stopping on one of the two. The Mecha-Chomp then throws its head at the appropriate target: Mario if it is red, Luigi if it is green. Sometimes, if a Mecha-Chomp is damaged, it starts to malfunction, meaning that the colors it displays will be for the opposite targets (red for Luigi, green for Mario); using Thunderhand will always cause it to malfunction. Additionally, the item it drops while malfunctioning changes from a Nut to the School Emblem Badge; this makes the badge missable if Mario or Luigi's attack power gets high enough.
