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.

- —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 Lernaean Hydra, a giant, multi-headed serpent.
History
Background
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".[2]
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 2
In Super Mario Bros. 2, Tryclyde acts as the guardian of both World 2 and World 6. Upon sighting the player, he shoots fireballs at them. Tryclyde can take damage from a Mushroom Block being thrown at it, and they 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Super Mario All-Stars, he is only the boss of World 2 in the Super Mario Advance version, his rematch in World 6 having been replaced by Mouser's own (originally from World 3).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!" In both reissues, Tryclyde is recolored turquoise, yet official artwork still depicts him the usual red. Most official artwork related 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.[3]
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
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.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
- “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 King Koopa as a member of his 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 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 Roman motif, and in "Koopa Klaus", he assumes the moniker of "Randolph the Red-Nosed Tryclyde", going with King Koopa's Santa Claus motif of the same name.
In the series' writer's bible, it mentions that there are more than one Tryclyde.[4]
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 bad endings 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.
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.
