| ===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
| | 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 prowling a path around a large tree in the Deep Woods of the Wooded Kingdom. This one can either be stunned by tricking it into ramming its head into a rock or wall or throwing a seed at its head to knock it out, making it possible to be captured by throwing Cappy at its head for a little while before it wakes up. A fourth T-Rex in an Aviator Cap can be found in another bonus area within the [[Metro Kingdom]]. 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 them and recapturing them 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. |

| |
| ''Super Mario Odyssey'' depicts T-Rexes as {{wp|Realism (arts)|artistically realistic}}, contrasting with the fantastic designs of most characters in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Unlike most enemies in the game, they are generally framed as wildlife, not as adversaries.

|
| T-Rexes are native to the [[Cascade Kingdom]] and the [[Deep Woods]] of the [[Wooded Kingdom]], two of the only places in the [[Earth|world]] where they have survived into the modern era.<ref>{{cite|date=October 27, 2017|quote=The biggest draw for tourists to this area is that dinosaurs still live here.|author=Fossil Falls brochure|title=''Super Mario Odyssey'' by [[Nintendo EPD]]|format=North American Localization|publisher=[[Nintendo of America]]}}</ref><ref name=uk/><ref>{{cite|date=October 27, 2017|quote=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|author=Steam Gardens brochure|title=''Super Mario Odyssey'' by Nintendo EPD|format=North American Localization|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Their iconography is incorporated into souvenirs available at the [[Crazy Cap]] in [[Cascade Kingdom|Fossil Falls]], namely a diorama and sticker.

| 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 subterranean area called the Dinosaur Nest. These dinosaurs are found napping and do not attack Mario or damage him on contact. He can even stand on one's body as it sleeps. A fedora-wearing T-Rex can be found patrolling a path around a large tree in the Deep Woods, and the T-Rex chases Mario when it sees him. T-Rexes turn slowly. Occasionally, one snaps its jaws while swinging toward the ground as an attack. It can crash through [[stone wall]]s. Neither [[stomp]]s nor [[Cap Throw]]s can stop a T-Rex. Instead, Mario can allow it to chase him until the T-Rex stops, roars, and uses a forward ramming attack. If that attack is lured into a wall, including a stone wall, it is stunned for a short time and loses the hat. (The stone wall breaks.) Thus, it can be captured much like the sleeping variation. An alternative method is throwing a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|giant seed]] at its head, which can be done even outside the ram attack. While this T-Rex can be touched while stunned, it cannot be climbed. If it regains consciousness, the hat reappears on its head. 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]], where it chases down Mario down a narrow street. It tears up the ground behind it, leaving a bottomless pit behind. Occasionally, it can snap at Mario, gaining a brief speed boost so that this must be actively avoided even at Mario's top speed.
| | 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.

| To capture a T-Rex, it has to be sleeping or unconscious. The player has to throw Cappy at the head, instead of just at the enemy in general. A captured T-Rex is indestructible and destroys any enemy or stone wall it touches. It [[dash]]es when the player holds {{button|switch|y}}, and snaps its jaws when {{button|switch|b}} is held or the controller is shaken. While Mario stands, his attack is different. He instead takes a quick step forward while swinging the head upward. T-Rexes cannot jump. However, their strides are massive, so they can can climb steps. They can also use [[trampoline]]s to get a large height boost. After a T-Rex comes down from a fall, the impact creates a tremor that defeats nearby enemies. Turning as a T-Rex is still slow, even while standing still. Mario is unable to use the ramming attack. Unlike the other captures, T-Rexes can be controlled for only a limited time due to Cappy requiring a lot of energy to keep such a large creature captured. The T-Rex starts to flash when the time remaining is low, accompanied by a ticking clock sound effect. Once the time expires, the T-Rex appears in its original location. The player can circumnavigate this limitation by releasing and recapturing it quickly. The dinosaur in the Metro Kingdom cannot be captured. It exists solely for a [[motor scooter]]-based chase sequence and ultimately falls down a [[pit]].

| ====Design====
| |
| According to director [[Kenta Motokura]], 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 game of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] 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>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=June 15, 2017|url=youtu.be/2NDihsmDN0Q?t=13m50s|title=Super Mario Odyssey - Co-Op Demonstration - Nintendo E3 2017|timestamp=13:50|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 19, 2017}}</ref> The realistic design philosophy applied to the T-Rex permeates through ''Super Mario Odyssey''. Other examples of realistic character designs include the [[Sphynx]], [[New Donkers]], the [[Nintendog|dog]], and the [[Ruined Dragon]].

| This piece was composed by [[Naoto Kubo]] and performed by [[The Super Mario Players]]. It plays for the duration that Mario and Cappy have captured a T-Rex, making it analogous to the "[[Super Star (theme)|Super Star]]" and "[[Mega Mario (theme)|Mega Mario]]" themes of prior games. Though clustered with other pieces from Fossil Falls in the [[Super Mario Odyssey sound test|Music List]], it also plays when a T-Rex is chasing Mario in the Deep Woods and New Donk City. It is track 4 on the Music List.
| |
| | |
| In the Japanese release, this piece is referred to as「ダイナフォー - 恐竜"」(''Dainafō - Kyōryū'', "Fossil Falls - Dinosaur"), similar to the English localization. It was given a different name in the ''[[Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack]]'' released in 2018,「キャプチャー・ティラノサウルス!」(''Kyapuchā・Tiranosaurusu!'', "Capture Tyrannosaurus!"). It is track 11 on disc 1.

| In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Toad]]'s backpack includes a pin designed after the Cascade Kingdom Sticker and features the T-Rex. It is visible {{file link|TSMBM Poster Toad.png|here, towards the bottom left}}.
