Chomp Sharks primarily appear in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise. They cannot be attacked, so [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s are forced to either run from them or avoid them entirely.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
| |
| Shark Chomps (named '''Bow Wow''' on one occasion<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 30, page 12.</ref>) are introduced as one of the three varieties of "Chomps" in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they appear in [[Marching Milde's Fort]] and [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]] In the former level, the Shark Chomp appears right after a group of [[Incoming Chomp]]s. These giant Chomps relentlessly chase after [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], gnashing through anything in their way. Their appearances in certain levels make backtracking impossible, as they are almost invulnerable and will often eat anything on which Yoshi can land. Eventually, the Shark Chomp chases Yoshi to a platform it cannot eat and breaks its teeth, causing it to tear up in pain and fall off the screen.
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Shark Chomps act exactly as they do in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and even use the same sprite, though due to the lighter colors it seems to have been based off the ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' sprite instead. One appears in [[Rompin', Stompin' Chomps]].
| |
| | |
| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', a Chomp Shark is the main feature of [[Chomp Shark Chase]]. Their teeth no longer crack, although, they still tear in pain.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Princess Peach''===
| |
| [[File:BigChainChomp SPP.png|frame]]
| |
| In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Shark Chomps are called '''Big Chain Chomps''', a more accurate rendition of their Japanese name. They are found in [[Wavy Beach]] and [[Giddy Sky]], specifically [[Wavy Beach 5-2]], [[Wavy Beach 5-4]], [[Giddy Sky 7-2]] and [[Giddy Sky 7-8]]. Rather than eating terrain, Big Chain Chomps are usually found bouncing down hills provided with gaps in which the princess and her umbrella may hide. Some of them are also seen periodically falling down [[pit]]s. They are noticeably smaller in this game, but still much larger than normal Chain Chomps. One is also seen in the background of the [[Wavy Beach]] world select screen, bouncing on the water surface, resembling Incoming Chomps' background sprites. According to the game's Glossary, Big Chain Chomp is "A giant Chain Chomp. Very dangerous!".

| [[File:Yoshi's Story Chomp.gif|frame]]
| |
| *The Chomps in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', which also constantly move forward while perpetually chomping, are quite similar to and may have been based on the Shark Chomp. The [[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Player's Guide]] also takes note of their in-game size.<ref>Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland. ''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide. Page 79. "''Three mammoth Chomps guard four melons, and, to borrow a line from another story, “My what big teeth they have!”''"</ref>
