DinoMighty is the first major boss in Wario World. She is a massive green female dinosaur with similarities to a Tyrannosaurus rex. She has a tan-colored belly with an X-shaped bandage in the middle. There are orange spots on her back as well as the bottom. DinoMighty has large bulging eyes and light-green hair. DinoMighty wears a skimpy red bikini, golden rings on her arms, and lipstick on her snout. Her legs are very short, each with three claws. Both the tip of her tail and tongue feature a Glue Globe at the end. Her name is a play on "dinosaur", "dynamite", and "mighty."
DinoMighty is fought during third and final stage of Excitement Central, DinoMighty's Showdown, unlocked by completing Greenhorn Ruins. For one of her attacks, DinoMighty creates shockwaves that can stun Wario briefly. When DinoMighty's eyes flash red, she lashes her tongue out at Wario. DinoMighty tries to flatten Wario with a stomp if he is nearby.[1] Wario can grab the Glue Globe on DinoMighty's tail to avoid DinoMighty's attacks.[2]:34 If Wario is on either of DinoMighty's Glue Globes when she lifts them, he can Ground Pound her head,[3]:34 then he can use a Mad Move to damage her.[4] Mega Tossing a column at DinoMighty's head can damage her, but if one of her feet is hit, DinoMighty jumps around in pain, landing into the lava outside the arena before several coins are released; the column just stuns DinoMighty anywhere else. DinoMighty can also be stunned by striking the bandage on her stomach repeatedly. After five powerful moves, DinoMighty is defeated, then Wario gets the first piece of the Huge Treasure Chest Key and moves on to Spooktastic World.
