"'''''MARCHING MILDE'S FORT''' The first four coins and flower are all out in the open but Yoshi has to find them quickly before he is caught in the razor-toothed jaws of the Giant Chomp-Chomp.''"</ref> are giant [[Chomp]]s who constantly move forward while gnashing their jaws. Chomp Sharks in ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' titles, and make their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. A Chomp Shark 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 on 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.

==Trivia==
[[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>
