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. | 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.
