Behind Chain Chomp's Gate

Behind Chain Chomp's Gate is the final mission of Bob-omb Battlefield in Super Mario 64 and its remake Super Mario 64 DS, which spells it Behind Chain-Chomp's Gate. In Super Mario 64, Behind Chain Chomp's Gate is the sixth mission, while in Super Mario 64 DS, it is the seventh mission.

Layout[]

The mission retains the layout of the course in general. As such, the mission can be completed out-of-order if playing another mission in Bob-omb Battlefield. The Power Star is behind a set of iron bars next to a Chain Chomp, but is positioned slightly lower in Super Mario 64 DS.

Objective[]

Mario has to obtain a Power Star located behind a set of iron bars guarded by a Chain Chomp. To do so, he must Ground Pound the stump that the Chain Chomp's chain is attached to three times. This frees the Chain Chomp, who bounces around briefly before ramming into the bars, breaking them and allowing Mario to go to the Power Star.

In Super Mario 64 DS, a few more methods can be used to obtain the Power Star. There are two additional ways to instantly flatten the stump, including from Wario performing a single Ground Pound or by breaking a certain Brick to obtain a mushroom and having a character touch the stump while in their Mega form. If all the red ? Blocks have been activated, the player can have Luigi turn into his Vanish form to pass through the iron bars and skip Ground Pounding the stump altogether. If aiming to obtain Behind Chain Chomp's Gate's Power Star during the 5 Silver Stars! mission, this method is required because the Chain Chomp is roaming the field and cannot be lured into breaking the iron bars.
