Prehistoric nonavian '''{{wp|Dinosaur|dinosaurs}}''' have appeared in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. A few different dinosaur species exist in Mario's world, such as [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, [[Birdo]]s, and [[Rex]]es.

====''Super Mario World''====
''[[Super Mario World]]'' takes place in [[Dinosaur Land]], and is filled with many dinosaur-like creatures, such as [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, [[Rex]]es, [[Reznor]]s, [[Blargg]]s, and [[Dino Rhino|Dino-Rhino]]s.


'''Dinosaurs''' are massive reptilian creatures that have appeared in many [[Mario]] games. Dinosaurs come in all shapes and sizes, they range from as small as a cat to as big as a bus. The dinosaur species is very diverse. Dinosaurs live in all types of biomes which they come well suited for. Some dinosaurs may be very delicate and solemn such as [[Dorrie]], a dinosaur who resides in the dangerous [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. On the other hand some dinosaurs are very vicious and intelligent such as [[Reznor]] who also happens to have the deadly ability to spew fire balls. Dinosaurs live on the [[Mushroom Planet]] and have even been seen in other [[galaxy|galaxies]] such as the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and [[Melty Molten Galaxy]]. Dinosaurs also used to live in the [[real world]] but have long been dead for 65 million years. This is because of the devastating effects of an [[asteroid]] that struck the Earth; today you can still find their fossils.
