Flame Chomp: Difference between revisions

A Fire Chomp appears in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', prowling a cave in the Magma Pits. While Luigi is fleeing from the [[Hot Feet]] that also live in the cave, he can choose to either rush blindly ahead, or take his time; if he chooses the latter, he will just narrowly avoid the Fire Chomp, but if he picks the former, he will run into and be scorched by the fireballs of the Fire Chomp, causing a [[Game Over]].

Fire Chomps return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', again with a four fireball limit. They only appeared in World 7-1. They can be defeated by just jumping on their heads. Unlike Chain Chomps, which are almost invincible (bar a few techniques and powers of special characters), Fire Chomps can safely be [[Jump|jumped]] upon. Doing so knocks them out of the sky. Once they run out of fireballs, they explode like [[Bob-omb|Bob-ombs]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Fire Chomps were a bit more common, appearing in World 2-6, World 8-3, and World 9-6. Fire Chomps have the same attack pattern as in the previous game but have now developed a new attack in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. When this enemy runs out of fire, it will flash red and self-destruct seconds later, but not before chasing Mario much faster than it was originally doing. They can be defeated with a single jump like in the previous game, but oddly enough they can be defeated with fireballs.
