{{quote2|Step right up, if you're ready to get... toasted!|Tryclyde|[[Super Mario Advance]]}}

'''Tryclyde''', also known as '''Triclyde''', is a large, three-headed snake capable of breathing balls of fire. He is also an inhabitant of [[Subcon]], the land of dreams. His design is based on the mythical [[Wikipedia:Lernaean Hydra|Lernaean Hydra]], a giant, multi-headed serpent.

Not much of Tryclyde's past is revealed, though it is mentioned that he was originally an outcast; he was recruited by [[Wart]] due to his "cunning brain and offensive capabilities which are three times normal strength".<ref name=SMB2>''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet, page 27.</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Tryclyde acts as the guardian of [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2]] and [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]]. Upon sighting the player, he shoots [[fireball]]s at them. In order to injure Tryclyde, the player needs to throw three [[Mushroom Block]]s at him, which are resistant to Tryclyde's fire breath. After being hit by three Mushroom Blocks, Tryclyde is defeated. In this incarnation, he is red with black stripes or wrinkles. Only the front two heads actually move and spit fire; the back one stays still and only reacts to getting hit.

While Tryclyde reprises his role in the version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' included in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', he is only the boss of World 2 in the ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' port, his rematch in World 6 having been replaced by [[Mouser]]'s own (originally from World 3). His color changes in the remakes, coloring him turquoise and orange. Upon defeat in ''Super Mario Advance'', Tryclyde can be heard shouting, "Impossible!"

Tryclyde returns with the other bosses from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. Like in the first game, Tryclyde serves as a boss, and is fought in a similar way as in his battle from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

 

Tryclyde's mugshot depicts him having a green coloration, closer to his in-game sprite reused from ''Super Mario All-Stars'', though the cutscenes in which he appears color him red.

In the coloring book game, ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'', the coloring page for Zoo Keeper features Tryclyde in a cage. The description for the job is as follows:

 

:''Mario the zoo keeper thinks he's one lucky fellow. After all, not many zoos in the world have such unusual creatures as Birdo, Tryclyde and Pidgit.''

Tryclyde (voiced by [[Harvey Atkin]]) is featured in several episodes of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', which depict him as being quite powerful, though somewhat unintelligent. He is shown to have a pale yellow belly as opposed to white. Instead of working for Wart, he works for [[Bowser|King Koopa]] as a member of his [[Koopa Troop|Koopa Pack]], often appearing to help him, [[Mouser]] and [[Koopa Troopa]] in their plots. His middle head could talk, but he rarely did so. He most often battled [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who was usually able to defeat him. In "[[The Great Gladiator Gig]]", Tryclyde assumes the alter-ego of "Tryclydius" to fit with King Koopa's [[King Koopa's alter egos#Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa|Roman motif]], and in "[[Koopa Klaus]]", he assumes the moniker of "Randolph the Red-Nosed Tryclyde", going with King Koopa's [[King Koopa's alter egos#Koopa Klaus (alter ego)|Santa Claus motif]].

In the series' writer's bible, it mentions that there are more than one Tryclyde.<ref>[https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/super-mario-bros-show-ad-promo-mario-1999518618 ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' writer's bible]</ref>

In one of the [[Game Over|bad ending]]s of ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', [[Ludwig von Koopa]] plays a mournful tune on a harmonica to summon Tryclyde to attack [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Before the heroes can react, Tryclyde grabs them both by their rears and drags them off to his lair.

Tryclyde appears in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. Tryclyde's heads are given distinct personalities: the middle one is big and a bully to the other heads, the left one is smart, and the right one is dumb. The three heads always bicker with each other, causing one of them to bite the other, when this happens, the middle head (having the pain receptors) always hurts itself. This bickering eventually helps them be defeated. Mario, Luigi, and [[Yoshi]] encounter Tryclyde in a pyramid. Tryclyde burns Mario and Yoshi, but Luigi has a [[Frog Suit]]. He gives Mario a [[Magical Potion]]. Tryclyde steals it from him, but drops it on Mario, enabling Mario to recover from a Mushroom. Mario then defeats Tryclyde by throwing Mushroom Blocks at him.
