Dinomighty has a variety of attacks. She will jump around the arena, creating shockwaves that must be jumped over, lest Wario be knocked into a daze for a few seconds. The same attack could also flatten Wario if he happens to be under Dinomighty. Another one of Dinomighty's attacks includes her eyes flashing red and her tongue, which has a [[Glue Globe]] on the end, lashing out at Wario. If Wario sticks to the Glue Globe, She will use her tongue to smash him on the ground.

To beat the large reptile, first Wario must dodge her attacks. Once she has finished with a few attacks, she will begin stomping around the arena. When this happens, Wario must grab the Glue Globe at the end of her tail. Eventually, she will lose track of Wario, raising her tail over her head. Wario has to let go of the [[Glue Globe]] and Ground Pound her head to put her into a daze, then he must use any of his Mad Moves.
 
Alternatively, Wario can grab a [[Column (Wario World)|Column]] and [[Mega Toss]] it at her. If the Column strikes one of the feet, she will jump around in pain, eventually landing in the lava outside the arena, releasing a large amount of coins. If the Column strikes her elsewhere, she will simply get knocked out.
 
A final &ndash; yet tiresome and dangerous &ndash; way for Wario to stun her is using Wario's simple punch by repeatedly striking her on the bandage on her stomach. If Wario does this too much, the boss will try to step on the anti-hero. Eventually, Dinomighty will become dazed and Wario can pick her up and use his Mad Moves against her.
 
It takes five powerful moves to defeat the large dinosaur. When Dinomighty is down, Wario receives the first [[Giant Treasure Chest Key]].
 
Another noticeable thing about Dinomighty is the fact that she is the first boss to get her head stuck in the ground when Wario does a [[Piledriver]].

DinoMighty is the first major boss in Wario World. She is a massive green female dinosaur with similarities to a Tyrannosaurus rex. She has a tan-colored belly with an X-shaped bandage in the middle. There are orange spots on her back as well as the bottom. DinoMighty has large bulging eyes and light-green hair. DinoMighty wears a skimpy red bikini, golden rings on her arms, and lipstick on her snout. Her legs are very short, each with three claws. Both the tip of her tail and tongue feature a Glue Globe at the end. Her name is a play on "dinosaur", "dynamite", and "mighty."

DinoMighty is fought during third and final stage of Excitement Central, DinoMighty's Showdown, unlocked by completing Greenhorn Ruins. For one of her attacks, DinoMighty creates shockwaves that can stun Wario briefly. When DinoMighty's eyes flash red, she lashes her tongue out at Wario. DinoMighty tries to flatten Wario with a stomp if he is nearby.[1] Wario can grab the Glue Globe on DinoMighty's tail to avoid DinoMighty's attacks.[2]:34 If Wario is on either of DinoMighty's Glue Globes when she lifts them, he can Ground Pound her head,[3]:34 then he can use a Mad Move to damage her.[4] Mega Tossing a column at DinoMighty's head can damage her, but if one of her feet is hit, DinoMighty jumps around in pain, landing into the lava outside the arena before several coins are released; the column just stuns DinoMighty anywhere else. DinoMighty can also be stunned by striking the bandage on her stomach repeatedly. After five powerful moves, DinoMighty is defeated, then Wario gets the first piece of the Huge Treasure Chest Key and moves on to Spooktastic World.
