Dino Rhinos, also spelled Dino-Rhinos, are enemies introduced in Super Mario World. They are Ceratopsian dinosaurs with dark turquoise bodies and rhinoceros-like ears.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario World[edit]
Dino-Rhinos appear in Super Mario World. They are encountered in Chocolate Island. Dino Rhinos follow Mario and jump over short obstacles to get him. A Dino-Rhino becomes a Dino-Torch if stomped, in which case it can breathe fire, something that Dino Rhinos would have originally been capable of doing.[1] Dino-Rhinos can be defeated if attacked by a Spin Jump or being stomped by Yoshi. Dino-Rhinos are unaffected by fireballs or being eaten by Yoshi. Sprites depict them with pale white bellies and toenails, though this trait is notably absent in artwork.
Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
The king of Sea Side has been transformed into a purple Dino Rhino in both the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 reissues of Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario World television series[edit]
Dino-Rhinos, though never named as such, appear only in the episode "Send in the Clown" of the Super Mario World television series. It is held in a cage within King Koopa's "Koopaling Bros. Circus," and is defeated from fireballs thrown by Fire Mario, who had avoided being eaten by it. Their smaller counterparts Dino-Torches appear more frequently.
Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]
Dino Rhinos are enemies in Flown the Koopa. They are encountered by Mario, Luigi, Toad, and the Mushroom King on their travels through a forest. They manage to avoid it, unless the reader solves the puzzle incorrectly, in which case they lose some Coins and International Dino-Flying Derby tickets.
A Dino Rhino is ridden by Bowser in Unjust Desserts after ditching his Toad disguise. Some are eaten by Yoshi and others shrunk by Magikoopa. Dino Rhinos can be encountered by Mario, both inside and outside the dinosaur's body.
Some Dino Rhinos can be encountered in Brain Drain. They can have their earned by Luigi, who had been transformed into a Koopa Troopa earlier, if he supposedly "scares" away Mario.
Mario is Missing![edit]
Dino-Rhino is a character in Mario is Missing! CD-ROM Deluxe. It has voice acting, unlike other appearances. It is one of the Curators, replacing the humans from the MS-DOS releases. Besides taking questions, Dino-Rhino gives Luigi two questions if he decides to return an artifact as proof of its authenticity, followed by a money reward.
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
While Dino Rhinos themselves do not make an appearance, look-alikes, the Albino Dinos, appear as guards in the Crystal Palace in Paper Mario.
Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]
Dino Rhinos are enemies in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They are encountered in Mossrock Theater. Their attacks include ramming and breathing fire, similarly to Dino-Torches. Stronger variants named Wild Dino Rhinos are introduced as well.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]
A Dino Rhino is a non-playable character in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It sings in the Shroom City café alongside a Ptooie and a Sombrero Guy.
The in-game concept art shows that origami Dino Rhinos were originally going to be enemies.
