'''T- | The '''T-Rex''', also simply known as '''Dinosaur''' and also dubbed the '''Prehistoric Tyrant'''<ref>As derived from the subtitle in the Cascade Kingdom's brochure''</ref>, is an enemy from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' that can be controlled by [[Cappy]]. It is an {{wp|Realism (arts)|artistically realistic}} {{wp|Tyrannosaurus|''Tyrannosaurus rex''}}, making it a unique enemy in contrast to the more fantastic designs of most other enemies in the ''Mario'' franchise. T-Rexes are indigenous to the [[Cascade Kingdom]]<ref name=Cascade>[[Nintendo EPD]] (trans. [[Nintendo Treehouse]]). (October 27, 2017). "''The biggest draw for tourists to this area is that dinosaurs still live here.''" - Brochure. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Retrieved January 12, 2018.</ref> and the Deep Woods of the [[Wooded Kingdom]]<ref name=Wooded>[[Nintendo EPD]] (trans. [[Nintendo Treehouse]]). (October 27, 2017). "''The Steam Gardeners do not speak of it, but rumor has it they discourage visiting this place because of the danger posed by the giant creatures that call it home.''" - Brochure. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Retrieved January 12, 2018.</ref>, two of the last locations in the [[Earth|world]] where they still live.<ref name=Cascade /> | ||
Two T-Rexes can be found in the Cascade Kingdom: one on a hill in the western half of Fossil Falls, and one in an optional subterranean area called Dinosaur Nest. These particular T-Rexes are found napping and will not attack Mario or damage him on contact. A fedora-wearing T-Rex can be found patrolling a path around a large tree in the Deep Woods of the Wooded Kingdom and will chase Mario when it makes visual contact. This one can either be stunned by tricking it into ramming its head into a stone wall or throwing a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] at its head to knock it out, making it possible to be captured for a little while before it wakes up. A fourth T-Rex in an [[Crazy Cap#List of items sold by Crazy Cap|Aviator Cap]] can be found in a hidden area within the [[Metro Kingdom]] called T-Rex Alleyway, where it chases down Mario along a stretch of street. Unlike the other captures, T-Rexes can only be controlled for a limited time due to Cappy requiring a lot of energy to keep such a large creature captured. Once the time expires, the T-Rex returns to the spot where it was originally captured. However, this can be circumnavigated by releasing and recapturing it quickly. The one in the Metro Kingdom cannot be captured and exists solely for a [[Motor Scooter|Scooter]]-based chase sequence, and eventually falls down a bottomless pit. | |||
According to [[Kenta Motokura]], the director of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', the T-Rex's realistic design was influenced by ''[[Super Mario World]]'', another game where [[Mario]] is alongside [[dinosaur]]s. The development team wanted to include a dinosaur never seen in a [[Super Mario (series)|''Mario'']] game before in hopes of surprising the player, causing the developers to steer away from the more cartoonish and caricatured dinosaur designs used in ''Super Mario World''.<ref name=CoopDemo>Nintendo.

In a [[My Nintendo]]-exclusive poll conducted during E3 2017, the T-Rex was voted the top enemy that account owners wanted to capture and play as, well above the [[Goomba]], [[Bullet Bill]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Chain Chomp]], and [[Cheep Cheep]] also part of the poll. In an interview with ''Game Informer'', [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] likened Mario's ability to capture and control a T-Rex in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' to riding [[Yoshi]].<ref name=MiyamotoGI>Kyle Hilliard.

==Trivia== | |||
*The realistic design philosophy applied to the T-Rex permeates throughout ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Other examples of realistic character designs include [[Sphynx]], [[New Donkers]], [[Nintendog]], and the [[Ruined Dragon]]. | |||
*At the time of its release in 2017, the T-Rex in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' did not reflect the consensus on what the {{wp|Tyrannosaurus#Skin and possible filamentous feathering|real animal most likely looked like in life}}.<ref name=Inverse>Jacqueline Ronson. (May 20, 2016). [https://www.inverse.com/article/15906-the-tyrannosaurus-rex-had-lips-and-i-probably-didn-t-roar The Tyrannosaurus Rex Had Lips and It Probably Didn't Roar]. ''Inverse''. Retrieved January 5, 2018.</ref> | |||
*The brochure for the [[Cascade Kingdom]] says the T-Rex found sleeping aboveground on the western hillside is believed to be female and is a subject of {{wp|field research}}.<ref name=Cascade2>[[Nintendo EPD]] (trans. [[Nintendo Treehouse]]). (October 27, 2017). "''Researchers believe this specimen is female.''" - Brochure. ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Retrieved December 19, 2020.</ref> | |||
*[[President Koopa]] in the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]] had evolved from a T-Rex, and appears as an actual T-Rex late in the film. | |||
**Concept art for the film reveals that [[Yoshi (film character)|Yoshi]] was going to be a young T-Rex at one point in development. | |||
