The minigame takes place on a dark blue platform with four wire meshes above a pool of lava. In the intro, a cave can be seen, north of where the minigame takes place. The opening of the cave is shaped like a Chain Chomp's upper jaw, complete with sharp teeth, and two small torches are in front of the cave, to the left and right each. Lava Plumes can be seen in the background, both during the intro and minigame.

Opening[]

A Chain Chomp comes out of a cave and jumps onto the platform's upper-left gauze. Because of the impact, the platform slightly lowers, and the upper-left wire mesh goes beneath the lava, burning the Chain Chomp and revealing its weakness.

Gameplay[]

The player's character has to avoid Chain Chomp's attack, in which it lunges into the air and tries to land onto them. As the Chain Chomp jumps, the player's character has to stand on a wire mesh, then dodge before the Chain Chomp lands there so that the wire mesh briefly sinks into the lava, burning and damaging the Chain Chomp. The Chain Chomp can also charge at the player's character, which it projects beforehand by quickly biting its teeth together twice.

After taking a third hit, the Chain Chomp's health meter falls into the red zone, and for a few seconds, a close up of Chain Chomp being maddened is shown. Aside from Chain Chomp having faster movements, another difference from before is that whenever Chain Chomp lands on a gauze, the other three each have a small Lava Plume pop in and out of it.
