Until I played the Japanese version of Super Mario RPG, which makes it explicitly clear what's holding up Bowser's chandeliers (through both Peach's dialogue Mariooo! Aim for the Chain Chomp! and the name of the enemy シャンデリワン lit. 'Shanderiwan' tl. 'Chandelier Chomp'), I didn't realize that they were Chain Chomps.

Official artwork from the original game's release also makes that more obvious than the sprite:
Basically what I'm saying is that the isometric pseudo-3D look didn't do the game's readability any favors.
