Template:Item-infobox Chomp Rocks, also known as Romp Chomps[1], are round stones that look like Chain Chomp heads. They appear primarily in the Yoshi series.
History
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Chomp Rocks first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as a common object. They are generally used for moving through soft rock and reaching high areas, but in some levels, they are an obstacle, such as when they need to be rolled off a thin pillar to reach a key. Some Sluggers hit these back and forth. Yoshi can push Chomp Rocks forward or jump on top of them to roll them in any direction. He can use Chomp Rocks to crush most enemies, even otherwise-invulnerable foes, such as a Tap-Tap. The Cave Of Chomp Rock is themed after them.
Chomp Rocks come in gray and brown in this game, the difference being that the gray ones will respawn at their starting point if the player leaves the screen and comes back, while the brown ones will not.
Yoshi's Island DS
Chomp Rocks appear in Yoshi's Island DS unchanged from the previous game except for the fact that neither color respawns, except for the one in the Island Museum's Land Enemy section - which happens to be brown.

In the Club Nintendo comic "Mario's Picross", Mario gets arrested inside of a pyramid. He comes across a treasure chamber with a chest inside.

When Bobbery explodes, the rock is destroyed.
