First appearance Super Mario World ("The Wheel Thing") (1991)

Mega Mechanasaur, also known as "Big-Feet," is a giant robotic dinosaur appearing only in the Super Mario World episode "The Wheel Thing." It was constructed by Kooky von Koopa to be used in an assault on Dome City, the latter name being a reference to Bigfoot. Mega Mechanasaur resembles an enormous, robotic Tyrannosaurus rex with giant wheels in place of legs and a beak instead of a mouth. It is powered by an actual Tyrannosaurus rex running on a treadmill inside the lower torso of the mech (with a caveperson doll used as bait), and inside the mouth is a Dino-Torch that breathes fire.

After observing the Mario brothers' inventing the wheel and cars for the Cave People, Kooky is inspired to build the Mega Mechanasaur. After its completion, Kooky and King Koopa use it to destroy Dome City. However, the mech is stopped by Mario, Luigi, and the Cave People, setting out logs as speed bumps, traffic lights spitting out fire at it, and potholes dug by Yoshi. After it gets stuck in a pothole, the Mega Mechanasaur falls over and is destroyed.
