Prehistoric nonavian dinosaurs have appeared in the Super Mario franchise. A few different dinosaur species exist in Mario's world, such as Yoshis, Birdos, and Rexes.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario World[edit]
Super Mario World takes place in Dinosaur Land, and is filled with many dinosaur-like creatures, such as Yoshis, Rexes, Reznors, Blarggs, and Dino-Rhinos.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
In Super Mario Odyssey, T-Rexes appear sporadically, most notably in the Cascade Kingdom. The kingdom additionally features many dinosaur skeletons, most notably an enormous Triceratops.
Super Mario World television series[edit]
In the Super Mario World television series, dinosaurs appear throughout. Aside from the ones in the game it is based on, several others appear, notably the evil dinosaur.
Super Mario Bros. film[edit]
In the Super Mario Bros. live-action film, an alternate, unnamed version of Earth is revealed to exist. This parallel Earth was brought into creation when the meteorite struck the true Earth 65 million years ago, causing spatial and dimensional disturbances, resulting in the creation of the alternate Earth. Some dinosaurs were then flung into this parallel world, while their kin went extinct on Earth.
On this Earth, various types of dinosaurs evolved into humanoid creatures, though some, such as Yoshi, seemed to have retained their reptilian forms. Aside from one rundown city, Dinohattan, this Earth is a desert wasteland, lacking various resources.
Mario's Time Machine[edit]
In the NES version of Mario's Time Machine, a Dinosaur Egg is stolen from the Cretaceous Period by Bowser. When Mario travels back in time to return it, several sauropod dinosaurs can be seen in the background. Additionally, in other versions of the game, the good endings feature Bowser travelling back in time to the Cretaceous Period and getting flattened by a dinosaur's foot.
Diddy Kong Racing[edit]
In Diddy Kong Racing, green sauropod dinosaurs appear as obstacles in tracks of Dino Domain, where they walk around a small area. Additionally, a yellow T-Rex appears exclusively in the intro, racing against Bumper. Tricky is also seen with two younger Triceratops in the ending: a pink one and a yellow one.
Mario Artist: Paint Studio[edit]
In Mario Artist: Paint Studio, six dinosaurs inhabit Dinosaur Land, where the player is able to take pictures of them. These dinosaurs include: a Brachiosaurus, a Velociraptor, a Stegosaurus, a T-Rex, a Triceratops, and a Gallimimus.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! / Mario Kart 7 / Mario Kart Tour[edit]
- Main article: Noshi
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, sauropods called Nossies appear in Dino Dino Jungle. They reappear in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour, with their name now romanized as "Noshis".
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit[edit]
In Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, a gate customization called "Dino Roar" added in version 1.1.0 resembles the skeleton of a dinosaur. It lets out a large roar and will slow down any kart that is in its path.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
In Yoshi's Crafted World, there are four yellow Tyrannosaurus crafts made of origami paper found on the flip side of Poochy's Magma Run.
Game & Wario[edit]
A dinosaur is seen chasing a car or one or two athletes with the intent of eating them, in the Dinosaur microgame that forms part of Gamer and as a souvenir in the Cluck-A-Pop collection.
