Any racers who run into the Chain Chomp from midair (after using the ramp) get knocked over as if they ran into a Bullet Bill.Mario Kart 8 is a 2014 kart racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. Anyone caught in its path is flattened, causing them to lose a balloon (in Balloon Battle) or three coins (in Coin Runners). The center Dash Panels can be used to get Item Boxes located in the wheel's spinner, which has a high chance of granting the player a Star, although they can also give a Mushroom.Ī large Chain Chomp rolls around the course in an opposite direction to the wheel. The inside of the star is a Trick spot it can be tricked off of by going off the ramp at a certain angle. The wheel is constantly moving, and Item Boxes are located around every few sections of the wheel, as well as the middle of a large star (which appears to act as the wheel's spinner). The course is round with a small incline, with Dash Panels located on the outer section of the wheel and in the very center of the wheel.

The layout of the Chain Chomp Wheel is similar to Tart Top, a battle course from Mario Kart DS. Mario competes in a Balloon Battle at Chain Chomp Wheel.
