Pterodactyls[citation needed] are flying reptiles that have appeared in the Super Mario franchise. As in most pop culture, they most closely resemble Pteranodon in Super Mario media and are associated with dinosaurs.
History[edit]
Mario's Time Machine[edit]
Pterodactyls appear in the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. It appears if Mario enters an incorrect time or date into the Timulator, in which case he ends up in the Cretaceous Period. As soon as he arrives, the pterodactyl begins launching eggs at him, and the only way for Mario to return to the present is by catching enough of them in a basket. The number of eggs that he needs to catch depends on the difficulty that the game is set at. Bullet Bills also attack Mario while he is catching them. After Mario catches enough eggs, he jumps onto the back of Yoshi, who runs back to the present.
Diddy Kong Racing[edit]
Pink pterodactyls appear as airborne obstacles in Diddy Kong Racing, where they appear in Dino Domain courses. Due to being constantly in flight, they only pose an issue when flying a plane. They can also be seen in the ending when Wizpig is defeated the second time.
Mario Artist: Paint Studio[edit]
In Mario Artist: Paint Studio, a Pteranodon appears as one of the seven creatures the player can take a photo of in Dinosaur Land. The Pteranodon is one of two creatures in this world whose model is unlocked from the start.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]
Magenta pterodactyls can be seen flying through the sky of the Dino Dino Jungle track in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! They do not reappear in subsequent remakes of the track.
