- "Chomp" may also refer to the Chain Chomp, an enemy from the Mario universe, which appears as a trophy and a sticker in Brawl, and as an Assist Trophy in SSB4.
Chomp (ワリオかみつき, Wario Snapping Bite) is Wario's neutral special move. When the special move button is pressed, Wario opens his mouth and bites forward. The bite itself is non-damaging, except against the Subspace Army; something has to go in Wario's open mouth for the move to have any effect. Another method he can do with this technique is to hold the special button and Wario will keep his mouth open for longer. This acts as a grab, and can hit shielding enemies. If the button is held down, his mouth stays open briefly, making it possible to grab anyone who moves into range. While grabbed, Wario can bite by pressing the special move button, dealing a small amount of damage each time. The higher the enemy's damage, the more times Wario can bite. This can also be used to block Snake's recovery instead of taking a bit of damage.
Chomp can also be used to eat items and projectiles, up to 3 if Wario is close enough. Wario can do nothing and simply swallows the projectile or item. Eating a large item, such as a crate, takes longer to swallow and leaves Wario more vulnerable. If it's a status or recovery item like a Superspicy Curry or a Heart Container, Wario will immediately gain its effect. Explosive items like a Bob-omb are damaging to Wario, dealing 6% damage, but damaging anyone in blast range. Any object that can be picked up (Link/Snake's bombs/grenades, Peach's Turnips, Diddy Kong's Peanuts/Banana Peels, Waddle Dees/Doos etc.) can be eaten by Chomp. The three exceptions to this are Mr. Saturn, Poké Balls (as well as any holdable Pokémon inside), and the Smash Ball (which can't be picked up with a single button press).
In SSB4, the Chomp attack has received a number of changes. Eating items and projectile from items such as the Ray Gun will now heal Wario by 1% each. Items that heal you also increase Wario's Waft charge. Also, Wario can now eat energy projectiles such as Mario's fireball, however he does not heal or get any Waft charge from eating them. Finally, eating food items will heal him more by 1.5x the amount it would normally heal him (e.g. Eating Maximum Tomatoes will heal 75% HP rather than 50%).
Origin
The move is very loosely inspired by the microgame Hot Dog Hog from the original WarioWare where Wario has to finish chomping on a long hotdog to win the game.
The Inhaling Chomp customization seems to be inspired by one of Wario's abilities in Wario World, Hyper Suction, where he opens up his mouth and inhales to suck in coins.
Garlic Breath is inspired by Wario's love of Garlic.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Inhaling Chomp: Wario can suck opponents and items in from a farther range, but it deals less damage.
- Garlic Breath: Wario can create damaging fumes from his mouth, but cannot eat enemies.
Trivia
- This and several other otherwise offensive moves are useless in Home-Run Contest, with the exception of being able to eat the bat.
- If Wario has a Super Mushroom in effect and does this attack the opponent will spin in his mouth.
- Despite the general nature of Chomp, Kirby gains no teeth if he copies the move.
- However, Kirby makes a noise as if he has teeth.
- Early in Brawl's lifetime, it was speculated that eating items (especially large ones) increased the amount of charge the Wario Waft has. This has since been proven to be false, though it does occur in SSB4.
