'''Dinosaur Land''', also known as '''Dinosaur Island''',<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020214130231/http://www.gameboy.com/smw/flash.html ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' official site]</ref> is an archipelago inhabited by [[dinosaur]]s and the region where [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] go on a vacation to in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Dinosaur Land generally has a lush, green appearance to it, along with several hills. It also has some mountains, caves, a forest area, and an underground valley.

Dinosaur Land is the main setting in every episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. Throughout the show, Dinosaur Land is mostly referred to as '''Dinosaur World''' (except by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] in "[[Send in the Clown]]"). | Dinosaur Land is the main setting in every episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series.

Unlike the game ''Super Mario World'', Dinosaur World's main inhabitants consist of [[Cave People]], and there is only one [[Yoshi]] that lives there. The Cave People lack technology, although they managed to have built at least one city, [[Dome City]]. Throughout the show, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] have tried to introduce modern culture to Dinosaur Land's inhabitants. | Unlike the game ''Super Mario World'', Dinosaur World's main inhabitants consist of [[Cave People (Super Mario World television series)|Cave People]], and there is only one [[Yoshi]] that lives there.

In "[[A Little Learning]]" [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] opens a school. The episode reveals that Dinosaur World has a flag, which is red with blue and yellow stripes. A light blue circle with a green dinosaur is in the center of the flag. The school day starts with the characters pledging to the Dinosaur Land flag; the pledge largely parodies the [[United States of America|United States]]' {{wp|Pledge of Allegiance}}. Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, and the Cave People say the first part of the pledge. Hip and Hop Koopa interrupt them by making up the second part of the pledge, which is about [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and his minions. | In "[[A Little Learning]]" [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] opens a school.
