==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Art - Chocolate Island.png|thumb|left|Scene artwork of Mario with a Dino Rhino (foreground) and a Dino-Torch (background)]]
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 [[stomp]]ed, in which case it can breathe fire, something that Dino Rhinos would have originally been capable of doing.<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_World_(SNES)/Unused_Graphics_%26_Objects#Fire-Spitting_Dino_Rhino|title=''Super Mario World''/Unused Graphics & Objects {{!}} Fire-Spitting Dino Rhino|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|author=TCRF|language=en}}</ref> Dino-Rhinos can be defeated if attacked by a [[Spin Jump]] or being [[stomp]]ed by [[Yoshi]]. Dino-Rhinos are unaffected by [[fireball]]s or being eaten by Yoshi. Sprites depict them with pale white bellies and toenails, though this trait is notably absent in artwork.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' reissues====
The king of [[Water Land|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===
[[File:Cartoon Dino-Rhino.png|thumb|A Dino-Rhino in the ''Super Mario World'' television series episode "[[Send in the Clown]]".]]
Dino-Rhinos, though never named as such, appear only in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series. One is held in a cage within [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s "Koopaling Bros. Circus," and is defeated from [[fireball]]s thrown by [[Fire Mario]], who had avoided being eaten by it. Their smaller counterparts Dino-Torches appear more frequently.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
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 [[Coin]]s and International Dino-Flying Derby tickets.

A Dino Rhino is ridden by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'' after ditching his [[Toad (species)|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!'' ===
Dino-Rhino is a character in ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing! CD-ROM Deluxe]]''. It has voice acting, unlike other appearances. It is one of the [[Curator]]s, 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===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:AlbinoDino PM.png|thumb|left]]
While Dino Rhinos themselves do not make an appearance, look-alikes, the [[Albino Dino]]s, appear as guards in the [[Crystal Palace]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
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-Torch]]es. Stronger variants named [[Wild Dino Rhino]]s are introduced as well.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:PMTOK Sombrero Guy cafe.png|thumb|right|A Dino Rhino in the Shroom City café]]
A Dino Rhino is a non-playable character in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It sings in the [[Shroom City (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|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.
