"Behind Chain Chomp's Gate" (also titled "Behind Big Chomp's Gate")^[1] is the final mission of the Bob-omb Battlefield in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS, and it is known as "Behind Chain-Chomp's Gate" in the latter. The mission's objective is to obtain the Power Star guarded by the titular Chain Chomp.

Layout

The Power Star is visible behind a set of iron bars, which can be removed only by ground-pounding the post that the Chain Chomp's chain is attached to three times. This frees the Chain Chomp, letting it break the bars and escape. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Star is slightly lower, and its associated mission is unchanged; however, there are a few more methods to obtain the Star. The player can use Vanish Luigi to phase through the bars, and Wario can flatten the post with a single Pound the Ground attack. The player can also use a mushroom found inside a Brick to flatten the post; however, while other posts are flattened by simply walking over them, the one holding the Chain Chomp still requires a Pound the Ground attack to be flattened. During "5 Silver Stars!," the Chain Chomp is running out in the field, and as a result, the player must use Vanish Luigi to collect the Star.

Through a glitch, it is possible to use an exploding Bob-omb to clip through the bars instead.
