Chaindeliers (originally known asKinklinks) are a variety ofChain Chomps that are used to hold up chandeliers inBowser's Keep. Their name is a portmanteau of "Chain Chomp" and "chandelier." InSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake,Mario andBowser fight on a pair of chandeliers, each one held up by a Chaindelier. Bowser proves too difficult to defeat, so Mario (with some advice fromPrincess Peach) attacks the Chaindelier holding up Bowser's chandelier instead. After it is defeated, the screen flashes white as, with an exception of the Switch version, the fire in the chandeliers' candles goes out. The Chaindelier then drops the chandelier along with Bowser. However, as he falls, he starts to throwhammers at Mario's Chaindelier. Eventually, the second Chaindelier drops Mario, sending him plummeting to the ground below, though he manages to get back up by jumping on Bowser.
During the battle withBoomer, who is also fought on the chandeliers, the Chaindeliers are replaced withShyndeliers.
In the English localization only, theChomp Shell is said to be the shell of a Kinklink, whileOrb Users'thought states that they hate Kinklinks. However, this appears to be an error on the translation's part, as in the original Japanese text, the more geographically appropriate Chomp is used in both instances. This may have been overcorrection due to a line earlier in the game, when Bowser addresses his Kinklink as Chomp in the Japanese version.
In the original game, the Kinklinks have a white color, which is likely intended to be the harsh lighting from the chandelier reflecting off them; apiece of scene artwork featuring themMedia:SMRPG Exor.gif shows them as a more standard black. In the remake, the Chaindeliers are a dark blue, like contemporary appearances of Chain Chomps.
