Chompette (Nintendo | Super Mario Universe)

Chompette, also known as Chain Chompette, is a fan-created character that emerged in late September 2018 as a derivative of the viral Super Crown meme trend within the Super Mario fandom. The concept stems from the Super Crown power-up introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, revealed by Nintendo on September 13, 2018, which transforms Toadette into Peachette. Following the rapid popularity of Bowsette on September 19, 2018, fans extended the idea to other enemies, including the Chain Chomp—a recurring adversarial creature first appearing in Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988 in Japan, 1990 internationally)—resulting in anthropomorphic, feminine interpretations documented across platforms by early October 2018.

In fan depictions, Chompette is typically portrayed as a fierce yet alluring princess-like figure with pale skin, dark hair, and a gown echoing Princess Peach's design but incorporating aggressive Chain Chomp elements, such as a large spherical head with sharp teeth, prominent chains as accessories or restraints, and an energetic or ferocious demeanor. Variations abound, ranging from fully monstrous forms retaining the black, toothy orb as a head to more humanoid versions emphasizing fangs, spiked collars, and playful aggression, often blending the Chain Chomp's relentless pursuit traits with a regal, mischievous personality. These interpretations lack a singular canonical design, reflecting the diverse creative approaches within the community.

The character's rise contributed to the broader 2018 Super Crown phenomenon, inspiring extensive fan art, animations, cosplay, and online discussions that amplified the meme's cultural impact. Although Chompette has appeared in unofficial fan projects and merchandise replicas, she remains entirely non-canonical, with no official recognition or integration into Nintendo's games or media. This fan-origin creation underscores the Super Mario community's ongoing tradition of imaginative expansions beyond established lore.
