'''Dino-Torches''', sometimes called '''Mini-Dinos''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=51|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Mini-Rhinos''',<ref>''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet, "Denizens of Dinosaur Land" poster.</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|page=19|date=September 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> are large-eyed turquoise dinosaurs encountered in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They appear only in [[Chocolate Island]] levels.

Dino-Torches appear quite frequently in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]].

A Dino-Torch first appeared in the episode "[[The Wheel Thing]]," where one is used by [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]] as a welding torch flame while he is building his [[Mega Mechanasaur]]. Later in the episode, it is revealed that the source of the Mega Mechanasaur's fire breath is an oddly winged Dino-Torch hidden in its mouth; this Dino-Torch is not seen again after the destruction of the Great Mechanasaur.

In "[[Send in the Clown]]," two Dino-Torches are shown to inhabit a cage with a Dino-Rhino in [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s "Koopa kid Bros. Circus"; after Mario is forced into this cage by Koopa, the chair he is given to defend himself with is burnt to a crisp by these Dino-Torches, which Mario later defeats by blasting them with [[fireball]]s as [[Fire Mario]].

In "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]," several Dino-Torches, along with some [[Rex]]es, are shown to be employed as chefs at Koopa's fast-food stand. Later in the episode, Mario, after breaking into Koopa's stand, is attacked by Koopa, who wields a Dino-Torch as a flamethrower. After he is defeated by [[Cape Mario]], Koopa and his Dino-Torch and Rex minions manage to escape down a [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]]. Occasionally, the dark green Rex in the episode is mistakenly shown with a Dino-Torch's head.

In "[[Party Line]]," one Dino-Torch is briefly seen pulling a caveman's vehicle.

===''Dinosaur Dilemma''===

In ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' of the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', a Dino-Torch appears to attack Mario riding [[Yoshi]] when they first enter the Valley of Bowser, spewing fireballs. If the duo decides to hide from the Dino-Torch instead of fleeing from it, it will find and singe the two with its fire, sending them running and causing Mario to lose his items when they fall out of his charred pocket.

''Due to their fire-blowing points, they're thought to be closely related to the Indian Yoshi, but how deep is unknown. The history between them and Yoshi is a secret.''
