Chomp Bro appears in Bowser's Castle, although they are not encountered in the overworld. The Chomp Bro attack with Chain Chomps which will be either thrown at Mario or Luigi. If they spin the Chain Chomp clockwise, the Chomp Bros. will go after Mario. If counter-clockwise, it is targeted at Luigi.

In Japanese, The Chomp Bro was called Wanmā Burosu (written ワンマーブロス), with Wanmā (written ワンマー) coming from "hammer" and "Wanwan," the latter being a dog's bark in Japanese which is also the name of the Chain Chomp and Burosu (written ブロス and derived from "Bro," a slang term from "brother") reflecting how Hammer Bros. and their variants have the word in their Japanese name. In Chinese, they got the name Wāngwāng Chuí Xiōngdì, which translates as "Chain Chomp Hammer Bro." and is written 汪汪锤兄弟. Their Spanish name is Hermano Cadena Mordelona (Chomp Brother), reflecting how Hammer Bro. variants have Hermano followed by word that refers to their weapon. Their Italian name is Unitelli, from the verb unire (to unite) and fratello, which means "brother." In French, their name is Frère Boulouf (with Boulouf, the Chain Chomp's French name, coming from boule (ball) and louf, a synonym of fou ("crazy," "silly")). The German dub calls them Chomp-Bruder, translating as "chomp brother." In Korean, the enemy is called Haemeong Beureoseu (해멍브러스), with haemong being a pun on "hammer" and meongmeong-i (chain chomp; written 멍멍이) with Beureoseu (written 브러스) coming from Haemeo Beureoseu (the base Hammer Bro's Korean name, written 해머브러스).
