In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', 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 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 and will chase Mario when it sees him. T-Rexes turn slowly. Occasionally, it will snap its jaws while swinging toward the ground as an attack. It can crash through [[stone wall]]s. Neither [[stomp]]s or [[Cap Throw]]s can stop a T-Rex. Instead, Mario can allow it to chase him until the T-Rex stops, roars, and uses forward ramming attack. If that attack is lured into a wall, including a stone wall, it will be stunned for a short time and lose the hat. (The stone wall will break.) 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 of 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.  

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 with {{button|switch|b}} or by shaking the controller. While standing, Mario's 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 coming 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 only be controlled for a limited time due to Cappy requiring a lot of energy to keep such a large creature captured. The T-Rex will start 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]].

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. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] likened Mario's ability to capture and control a T-Rex in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' to riding [[Yoshi]].<ref>{{cite|author=Hilliard, Kyle|date=June 15, 2017|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20190824213152/https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/06/15/miyamoto-on-breath-of-the-wild-nostalgia-and-yoshi-and-a-t-rex-co-existing-super-mario-odyssey.aspx|title=Miyamoto On Breath Of The Wild, Nostalgia, And If Yoshi And A T-Rex Can Co-Exist|publisher=''Game Informer''|accessdate=August 23, 2024}}</ref>

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:TSMBM Poster Toad.png|here, towards the bottom left]].
