'''Tryclyde''', also known as '''Triclyde''', is a [[List of bosses|boss]] introduced in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. He 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 {{wp|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>{{cite|date=1988|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=27}}</ref>
Not much of Tryclyde's past is revealed, though it is mentioned that he was originally a loner and outcast who was shunned by others due to his cunning mind and evil tendencies; due to these traits, Tryclyde was recruited by [[Wart]] in his plot to take over Subcon.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''Super Mario Bros. 2====
[[File:SMB2 Tryclyde.png|thumb|x200px|Tryclyde's original appearance from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Tryclyde acts as the guardian of World 2 and World 6 and upon sighting the player, will shoot [[fireball]]s at them (only appears in world 2 in [[''Super Mario Advance'']]). In order to injure Tryclyde, the player would need to throw several [[Mushroom Block]]s at him, which were resistant to Tryclyde's fire breath. After being hit by several Mushroom Blocks, Tryclyde would be defeated.[[Image:Tryclyde U.S.A..jpg|right]]
Tryclyde is a boss in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. He is red with black stripes or wrinkles. His color changes in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remakes. In both reissues, Tryclyde is recolored turquoise and orange, yet official artwork still depicts him the usual red. Most artwork in relation to ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' shows Tryclyde with visible bottom fangs, yet in-game, the upper fangs are visible instead. He is also depicted in artwork with plain smooth skin rather than stripes. There are some unused sprites in ''Super Mario Advance'' of [[Cobrat]] with Tryclyde's palette. Presumably, if they were used, he would act like [[Fryguy]] and [[Clawgrip]] and start out as a regular enemy type before undergoing a transformation.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|language=en|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Advance#Unused Enemies|''Super Mario Advance'' § Unused Enemies]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=October 25, 2013}}</ref>
 
In gameplay, Tryclyde is the guardian of both [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2]] and [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]]. He shoots [[fireball]]s at the player character on sight. Only the front two heads actually move and spit fire; the back one stays still and only reacts to getting hit. Tryclyde can take damage from a [[Mushroom Block]] being thrown at it. After three hits, Tryclyde is defeated. In ''Super Mario Advance'', Tryclyde is fought only once, with his rematch in World 6 having been replaced by [[Mouser]]'s own (originally from [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3]]); in said version, Tryclyde shouts "Impossible!" when defeated.
 
====''BS Super Mario USA''====
Tryclyde returned as a boss in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', and was fought similarly as in his battle from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Tryclyde's mugshot depicts him having a green coloration, slightly closer to his in-game sprite reused from ''Super Mario All-Stars'', but is colored red in cutscenes that he appears in.
 
===''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''===
[[File:ZooKeeper.png|thumb|left|Tryclyde on the left side of the Zookeeper coloring page]]
In the coloring book game ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'', the coloring page for Zoo Keeper features Tryclyde in a cage. He is mentioned in the job description.<ref>{{cite|quote=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.|author=Zoo Keeper description|title=''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''}}</ref>

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:CartoonTryclyde.jpg|thumb|200px|Tryclyde in the episode "[[Raiders of the Lost Mushroom]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'']]
{{quote|Three heads are better than one!|Tryclyde|"[[The Adventures of Sherlock Mario]]"}}
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 [[Bowser's Minions|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 Santa Claus motif [[King Koopa's alter egos#Koopa Klaus|of the same name]].
 
In the series' writer's bible, it mentions that there are more than one Tryclyde.<ref>{{cite|language=en|url=www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/super-mario-bros-show-ad-promo-mario-1999518618|title=''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' writer's bible|publisher=worthpoint.com|accessdate=October 5, 2020}}</ref>
 
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Though Tryclyde never made a direct appearance in any issues of ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', one of the comics' ''[[Dear Princess Toadstool]]'' features had him writing to Princess Toadstool in a thinly veiled attempt to get a date with her. In the letter, Tryclyde refers to himself using words such as "we" and "we're."
 
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
In one of the [[Game Over|bad ending]]s of ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', [[Ludwig|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.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Tryclyde SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|left|Appearance in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
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.
 
Tryclyde has appeared as part of Wart's ultimate form during the fight. He appears to be jutting from Wart's head.
