The '''T-Rex''' is a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex. The T-Rex was featured as a recurring antagonist in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series.
==History==
In the opening and ending sequences of ''Super Mario World'', the evil dinosaur crushes a [[Cave People|Cave Person]]'s car and attempts to eat [[Luigi]], who is saved just in time by a vine-riding [[Oogtar]]. They are both voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]], who also voices Bully Koopa and Rockman.


In "[[Party Line]]", the evil dinosaur appears near the beginning of the episode. It approaches [[Mario]], Luigi, [[Yoshi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]; the latter comments that he looks hungry. It walks past them when they hide behind a rock.
In "[[Party Line]]" the T-Rex appears near the beginning of the episode, where it attempts to attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Before the T-Rex can eat them though, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Princess Toadstool manage to evade the T-Rex by hiding behind a rock.


It returns later in the episode, rampaging through [[Dome City]] while the Cave People are distracted by their telephones. It is about to eat Oogtar, but when Mario tugs its tail, it chases him instead. Mario briefly winds it when he is flung from a vine. The evil dinosaur lunges at Mario afterward but misses. It chews up several [[coin]]s that Mario pelts at it, then throws one back at Mario's head, dizzying him. Mario uses a [[Super Star|Starman]] to clamp the evil dinosaur's snout shut and launch it spinning like a tornado into space. It is last seen hurtling through a group of [[Caterpillar]]s.
The T-Rex appears later in the episode rampaging through [[Dome City]], which is nearly defenseless due to the [[Cave People|cavepeople]] inhabitants being too busy gossiping on their new phones to fight the T-Rex off.


"[[Mama Luigi]]" shows that Luigi and Yoshi had met the evil dinosaur before. It and its teal friend, also a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', confronted them with intent to eat Yoshi. The dinosaurs ultimately could not reach their prey once Luigi jumped across a river of [[lava]].
Having Luigi and Princess Toadstool run off to warn the cavepeople of the T-Rex, Mario goes to fight the ferocious dinosaur himself. Tugging on the T-Rex's tail right before it's about to devour [[Oogtar]] the Caveboy, Mario manages to get the annoyed T-Rex to chase him.


==References==
Running after Mario, the T-Rex is bashed in the chest when Mario bounces through the air after running into and bouncing off a vine. Though winded, the T-Rex tries to lunge at Mario, who jumps out of the way, causing the T-Rex to fall to the ground. Getting-up, the T-Rex sees Mario hitting several [[Question Block|? Block]]s looking for an item to help him in battle. Unfortunately for Mario, all he gets from the ? Blocks are [[coin]]s, which Mario feebly throws at the T-Rex. Eating these coins, the T-Rex quickly spits them out and throws one at Mario's head, making the him dizzy.

{{SMW TV}}
This coin bounces off Mario's head and hits a nearby ? Block, which releases a [[Cape Feather|feather]]. A disoriented Mario tries to grab this feather, but fails and falls to the ground. On the ground, Mario inexplicably has a [[Star|Starman]] in his hand, which he uses to become super-powerful.
 
With his newfound super-strength, Mario grabs the T-Rex by the snout and launches it into space, where he continually soars, never to be heard from again.
 
It is later revealed in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" that Luigi and Yoshi had met the T-Rex before. Shortly after finding the recently hatched Yoshi, Luigi is attacked by the T-Rex and its turquoise friend, also a Tyrannosaurus, in the [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Pits]].
 
Thinking Yoshi to be the baby of the T-Rex and its friend, Luigi tries to hand Yoshi over to the two dinosaurs. Luigi quickly grabs Yoshi away after the T-Rex tries to eat him. An enraged T-Rex tries to eat Luigi, who narrowly escapes the T-Rex and its friend by jumping across a river of [[lava]] with Yoshi.
 
The T-Rex also appears in the opening and ending sequences of ''Super Mario World''; here, the T-Rex, after crushing a caveperson's car, attempts to eat Luigi, who is saved just in time by a vine-riding Oogtar the Caveboy. They are both voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]] who also voices Bully Koopa and Rockman.
 
==Trivia==
*In one scene in "[[Party Line]]", the T-Rex is briefly colored blue instead of purple.
*The colors for both T-Rexes seem to be inspired from the [[Rex]] and [[Dino Rhino]] enemies, both of which also appeared in the show.
