Dorries are large, friendly, Plesiosaur-resembling sea dinosaurs that were first seen in Super Mario 64. They help Mario, Luigi, and friends to cross the seas or reach higher areas.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 64

Dorrie from Super Mario 64
Mario on the original Dorrie.

The first known Dorrie from Super Mario 64 lives in an underground lake in the Hazy Maze Cave. He spends his days swimming in circles, but will gladly give Mario a ride if he gets on his back. It is also possible to steer Dorrie by facing the desired direction on his body. Ground Pounding on his head will cause him to lower his neck. Strangely, a sign near the lake in which he takes residence states that he might eat visitors if they get too close, although he otherwise proves to be a harmless creature. Apparently, Dorrie is a Plesiosaur, possessing a rather cute face like a baby of the same species.

Super Mario 64 DS

Dorrie also, of course, appears in Super Mario 64 DS. However, in the game, he wears goggles, and more resembles the Dolphins of Super Mario World. He fulfills the same role as in Super Mario 64. When Wario is playable, Dorrie has sometimes Wario's Cap on his head (of course, unless the player uses Wario).

New Super Mario Bros.

Dorrie returns in New Super Mario Bros., and has goggles like in Super Mario 64 DS. Mario can ride on his back to cross large bodies of toxic water in certain levels of World 4. If Mario does a Ground Pound on Dorrie, he will move faster through the water. There are two sizes of Dorrie in this game.

Mario Party series

Dorrie is a reoccurring minor character in the Mario Party series, although only directly appearing in a few games, such as Mario Party 3 and Mario Party Advance; a lot of aquatic equipment in the Mario Party series, such as boats, are based on Dorrie. In Mario Party Advance, a Dorry reveals that he is lonely after scaring away Mr. E. If Yoshi comes, they'll become friends and Dorrie gives him a Gaddget. The credits show that Yoshi ought to visit him soon. It says that he hasn't seen him in a while, or as it says, ages.
