'''Chain Chomps''' ({{ja|ワンワン|Wanwan}}, ''Wanwan'') are enemies from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
'''Chain Chomps''' ({{ja|ワンワン|Wanwan}}, ''Wanwan'') are recurring enemies in the {{uv|Mario}} series. Some games feature chainless variations simply named '''Chomps'''.

Chain Chomps made their debuts as enemies in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', and has become a recurring enemy in the ''Mario'' series. 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.  
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 are often seen  bound to a wooden pole by a metal chain, which means the player is safe if kept outside a certain radius. If possible, destroying the pole releases them, where they wildly bounce around the area, destroying everything in their path. This is sometimes necessary for progression, such as the Chain Chomp crashing through a wall and revealing a secret area. Chain Chomps are usually fought as enemies and hazards throughout the ''Mario'' franchise. They are also occasionally used as items, like in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash}}'' and several ''Mario'' sports 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''.

Chain Chomps appear as both an Assist Trophy and an enemy in [[Smash Run]] with the same behavior.
Chain Chomps made their debut as an Assist Trophy and an enemy in Smash Run. While based on its appearance in contemporary 3D ''Mario'' games, the chain itself is simply a set of unconnected circles like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
 
The Chain Chomp Assist Trophy was announced during the [[Nintendo Direct#Super_Smash_Bros._Direct_(April_8,_2014)|''Super Smash Bros. Direct'' in April 8, 2014]]. During the reveal trailer, the Chain Chomp is seen on the [[Palutena's Temple]] stage's [[Ω form]] unaffected by {{SSB4|Mario}}'s [[Fireball]] attack.


As an Assist Trophy, the Chain Chomp initially spawns above the summoner's head. It then disappears and reappears stuck to the ground by a wooden peg, where it will slowly patrol around its peg before biting out while being held back by its chain, dealing around 24% and moderate knockback. It will repeat this at least twice before disappearing. The Chain Chomp's body will do minor contact damage to any enemy it touches during that time. Should the Chain Chomp's bite cause its main body to get stuck under a solid platform (such as the underside of [[Battlefield]]), it will still attempt to bite, though it will travel less distance due to it being stopped by the stage.

[[File:Chain Chomp - Smash Run.jpeg|thumb|A Chain Chomp in Smash Run.]]
As a Smash Run enemy, the Chain Chomp functions similarly as an Assist Trophy. They patrol around the peg they're chained to, lunge at the fighter, and get held back by its chain. Their bodies feature [[super armor]], but their chain's wooden peg itself is vulnerable. Once it takes enough damage, the Chain Chomp will be set free and run away, leaving behind a large amount of stat boosts.
As a Smash Run enemy, it functions similarly, but will not disappear from its position until defeated. The body itself is fully invincible, but the chain's wooden peg itself is vulnerable; once it takes enough damage, the Chain Chomp will be set free and run away, leaving behind a large amount of [[Smash Run#List of stat boosts|stat boost]]s.

The Chain Chomp Assist Trophy functions similarly as it did in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''; however, it can be KO'd, which earns the player an extra point.

==Trivia==
*While the [[Assist Trophy]] and [[Smash Run]] versions of Chain Chomps in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' have a simple chain inspired by their original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', its trophy depicts it with a more realistic chain depicted in more recent ''Mario'' games.
*While the [[Assist Trophy]] and [[Smash Run]] versions of Chain Chomps in ''SSB4'' have a simple chain inspired by their original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', its trophy depicts it with a more realistic chain, like in more recent games.
*The Chain Chomp's ''Brawl'' trophy description is incorrect, as the Chain Chomp in Bob-omb Battlefield can actually be defeated in ''Super Mario 64'' by ground pounding the wooden pole it is attached to.
