T-Rexes | 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 the Dinosaur Nest. These particular T-Rexes are found napping and will 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 of the Wooded Kingdom and will chase Mario when it makes visual contact. This one can either be stunned by luring it into a stone wall or throwing a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] at its head to knock it out, making it available to capture for a short time before it regains consciousness. 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]]-based chase sequence, and eventually falls down a [[bottomless pit]]. A T-Rex appears on the pages of newspapers read by [[New Donker]]s. | ||
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)|''Super 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. (June 15, 2017). [https://youtu.be/2NDihsmDN0Q?t=13m50s Super Mario Odyssey - Co-Op Demonstration - Nintendo E3 2017]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved 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]]. | |||
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]] which were 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.
