Chain Chomps first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', reappearing frequently (though to a lesser extent than [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s) in later games. They are spherical, metallic dog-inspired enemies with a giant mouth filled with large, sharp teeth. They are very aggressive and attempt to lunge and bite the player if they get too close. In most cases they are bound to a wooden pole by a metal chain; destroying the pole, if possible, releases them. | Chain Chomps first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', reappearing frequently (though to a lesser extent than [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s) in later games.

They are also occasionally used as items, like in {{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash}} and several Mario sports games. | ||
Special versions of Chain Chomp have appeared in many games at various capacities. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', a mission involves handling a Chomp that has gotten red hot with rage. The objective is to guide it to water so it can calm down and reward the player with a {{s|mariowiki|Shine}}. Baby Chain Chomps, called {{s|mariowiki|Chain Chomplet}}s also appear at various locations. {{s|mariowiki|Madame Broode}} owns a golden Chain Chomp as a pet that fights alongside her. The player needs to take control of the Chomp to defeat her. A Chain Chomp is a playable character in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis Aces}}'', marking the only time a Chain Chomp can be selected as a character. Chain Chomps are also a frequent item in the [[Legend of Zelda]] franchise, first appearing in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening}}'' and is usually used by [[Link]] to defeat enemies and clear paths. | |||
The design of the Chain Chomp in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is based on their appearance in contemporary 3D ''Mario'' games; however, the chain itself is simply a set of unconnected circles like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In ''Ultimate'', its chain retains its realistic design seen in more recent ''Mario'' games. | The design of the Chain Chomp in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is based on their appearance in contemporary 3D ''Mario'' games; however, the chain itself is simply a set of unconnected circles like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
