'''Mini Wanwan''' are small [[Chomp]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They act exactly like Chomps but are smaller and have high-pitched barks. Some Mini Wanwan (such as the ones in [[Chompworks Galaxy]]) can go in a circular line, something that normal Chomps cannot do.

Small Chomps,[1] or Mini Chomps,[2] are diminutive Chomps that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They behave like their larger counterparts, but are slightly shorter than Mario and generally rarer enemies. They are nearly indestructible.

Small Chomps are comparable to the Chain Chomplets from Super Mario Sunshine and have a similar bark.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Squared screenshot of a little house in Super Mario Galaxy.

In Super Mario Galaxy, Mini Chomps occur only in the Dreadnought Galaxy during the mission "Dreadnought's Colossal Cannons". Doghouse-like little houses perpetually expel Mini Chomps down a slope, over two sets of Flipswitch Panels. Mini Chomps give off high-pitched barks when they exit a house and they do not pick up speed as they roll down the slope. Stepping on every Flipswitch Panel defeats all of the Mini Chomps in the area and halts their expulsion from the little houses. A Mini Chomp leaves three collectible Star Bits behind when destroyed.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Small Chomps occur in the Sky Station Galaxy and Chompworks Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In this game, they perpetually roll along tracks arranged into a circle on the ground. They are defeated when struck by the player character in their Rainbow form or a rubbery bulb. Multiple Small Chomps are fastened to one track. P2's Star Pointer can hold one in place with A Button so that the other Small Chomp collides with it, defeating both of them. Most Small Chomps release three Star Bits when destroyed, but there is one in the Sky Station Galaxy that contains a key during "Storming the Sky Fleet". Collecting it opens a nearby cage and frees the Luma within.

They are sympatric with normal Chomps in the Chompworks Galaxy, rolling in circles. In one location, they are expelled from Chomp boxes and roll in straight lines. Colliding with the hyperactive Gearmo at the end of their trajectory destroys them.
