 ==Origin==
 [[File:ChainChompSMB3.gif|thumb|left|A Chain Chomp in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
-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, which means the player is safe if kept outside a certain radius. If possible, destroying the pole releases them, where the 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.
+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.
-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.
+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''. In ''Ultimate'', its chain retains its realistic design seen in more recent ''Mario'' games.

 ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
 ===As an [[Assist Trophy]] and in [[Smash Run]]===
 [[File:ChainChompWiiU.png|thumb|ChainChompWiiU.png|left|A Chain Chomp as it appears in {{forwiiu}}.]]
-Chain Chomps appear as both an Assist Trophy and an enemy in [[Smash Run]] with the same behavior. 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''.
+[[File:Chain Chomp - Smash Run.jpeg|thumb||A Chain Chomp in Smash Run.]]
+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, 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.
