History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

Dino-Rhinos appear in Super Mario World. They are encountered in Chocolate Island. Dino Rhinos follow Mario and jump over short obstacles to get him. A Dino-Rhino becomes a Dino-Torch if stomped, in which case it can breathe fire, something that Dino Rhinos would have originally been capable of doing.[1] Dino-Rhinos can be defeated if attacked by a Spin Jump or being stomped by Yoshi. Dino-Rhinos are unaffected by fireballs or being eaten by Yoshi. Sprites depict them with pale white bellies and toenails, though this trait is notably absent in artwork.

A Dino Rhino is ridden by Bowser in Unjust Desserts after ditching his Toad disguise. Some are eaten by Yoshi and others shrunk by Magikoopa. Dino Rhinos can be encountered by Mario, both inside and outside the dinosaur's body.

Some Dino Rhinos can be encountered in Brain Drain. They can have their earned by Luigi, who had been transformed into a Koopa Troopa earlier, if he supposedly "scares" away Mario.
