Bob-ombs will always respawn, but will not yield more than one coin.

''Note:'' There is a special glitch involving Whomps. If you jump just in time as they attempt to land on you, you will jump right through them. This is an easy way to avoid being flattened.

[[Image:SM64 Chainchomp1.jpg|thumb|Yoshi next to a Chain Chomp.]]
A living, angry ball-and-chain with a large set of teeth. The Chain Chomp is found only on [[Super Mario 64/Bob-omb Battlefield|Bob-omb Battlefield]] and the multiplayer games. He will pounce at you if you get too close, and cannot be killed. If you throw a Bob-omb at it, it will be temporarily stunned. Be careful because he can take off quite a bit of health. You can run around his post to get some coins. Ground-pounding his post three times frees him, and he rewards you with a star.
