Rexes are rare enemies in ''Super Mario World'' which behave similarly | Rexes are rare enemies in ''Super Mario World'' which behave similarly [[Goomba]]s in that they simply walk in Mario's direction. They are usually found in small groups. In order to defeat a Rex, Mario needs to jump on it twice. After being jumped on once, a Rex gets its upper body stomped into its torso, reducing its height by half and causing it to move slightly quicker. If a Rex gets stomped on a second time, it gets defeated and flattened completely. A [[Spin Jump]] can destroy them in one hit, as will shooting a [[fireball]], hitting it with a [[cape]] or running into it while using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Rexes can also be eaten by Yoshi. Rexes can be found in [[Yoshi's Island 1]], [[Chocolate Island 2]], and [[Awesome]], each time in relatively large amounts. | ||

A Rex has appeared in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Yoshi invites Mario and Luigi to meet his friend, a Rex who decided to turn against Bowser. He captures the Mario Bros. and attacks Yoshi, thinking they are working for Bowser. After the Mario Bros. demand an explanation, Yoshi convinces the Rex that he is a friend by showing his long tongue. The four then go into Rex's house, where Yoshi demands food, and Rex promises to cook. However, a Magikoopa and a Koopa Troopa called "Number 3" then use the [[kamemeka]] (an enchanted Koopa Shell) to brainwash Rex. Rex then makes a poisoned soup in attempt to defeat Mario, which Yoshi quickly digests. Rex then smugly asks if Yoshi enjoys the poisoned meal, which shocks Mario. After some groaning, however, Yoshi claims it was "delicious". Mario calls Yoshi an idiot, pointing out Rex's intention to kill them, but Yoshi denies it, saying that Rex is only a harmless friend. | A Rex has appeared in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''.

In the Super Mario Mash- | In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Zombified Piglin|Zombie Pigmen]] were originally retextured to look like Rexes. In ''[[minecraftwiki:Bedrock Edition|Bedrock Edition]]'', after the [[minecraftwiki:Nether Update|Nether Update]], Zombie Pigmen were replaced with Zombified Piglins, which are retextured to look like [[Pom Pom]] in the Super Mario Mash-up. The Rex texture still appears in the ''[[minecraftwiki:Wii U Edition|Wii U Edition]]'', ''[[minecraftwiki:New Nintendo 3DS Edition|New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]'', and ''[[minecraftwiki:Nintendo Switch Edition|Nintendo Switch Edition]]'', which were discontinued before receiving the Nether Update. | ||

Rexes have small wings, but cannot fly. The wings' membranes are often red and have three "fingers", and slightly thick "arms". In official artwork, the color of the wings' arms is a deep orange, and the membranes the same color as the Rex's belly. Starting from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the color the wings' arms match the color the Rex's body, and the membranes are red, matching the color of their shoes. | Rexes have small wings, but cannot fly.

The depiction of the Rexes' pupil shape varies, with some showing them as round and open, and others showing them as a dash-shaped squinting shape, likely based off {{file link|SMW Art - Rex Stomp.png|a piece of artwork}} for ''Super Mario World'' showing one squinting from being jumped on, which is edited in certain publications to remove this context.

In ''Super Mario World'', ''Mario & Wario'', ''Super Princess Peach'', and the Super Mario Mash-up in ''Minecraft'', their pupils are open; in some other games, such as ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the pupils are shown in a squinting shape. In the original ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', their pupils briefly open when hit. A variant of the Rex, the Shroob Rex, are depicted with open eyes. Both designs of the Rexes' eyes are depicted as being connected together. | ||
In the games, Rexes are taller than the Mario Bros. while even in Super form, and are even larger in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''. Their size is used as a gameplay mechanic in the ''Mario & Luigi'' games where they are too tall for the player to jump over when dodging or counterattacking them while at their full size (regular Rexes in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', and Shroob Rexes in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''), and must be shrunken down to counterattack them safely. The Rexes in ''Super Princess Peach'' are smaller however, standing slightly shorter than Princess Peach herself. | In the games, Rexes are taller than the Mario Bros. while even in Super form, and are even larger in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''.
