During this time, flora and fauna alike grew in size and diversified. It is traveled to in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', where [[Bowser]] travels back in time to about eighty million years ago and steals a [[Dinosaur Egg]], and [[Mario]] later travels back in time after taking the Dinosaur Egg back. After Bowser entered the area, it became infested with [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s and [[Bodyslam Koopa]]s that try to stop Mario (although there are also regular dinosaurs in the background). Eventually, Mario makes it to a cave (at the far-right of the area), drops off the Dinosaur Egg, and time travels forward to the present. | ||

If everything is done correctly, [[Bowser]] attempts to use the [[Timulator]] to escape [[Mario]], but it malfunctions and sends him back to the Cretaceous Period. Bowser is soon squished by a large dinosaur. In the PC version, his crushed remains are then thrown away like a flying disc. Exclusively in the PC version, Mario also ends up here if he enters an incorrect date in the Timulator. He can only escape by catching some falling eggs from a [[Pterodactyl]] while [[Bullet Bill]]s attack him. After catching enough eggs, [[Yoshi]] appears, and he hops onto him and travels back to the present. | ||
