The Mega Mechanasaur, also known as "Big Feet," is a gigantic robot constructed by Kooky von Koopa as part of an assault on Dome City, appearing in the Super Mario World episode "The Wheel Thing." The Mega Mechanasaur appears as an enormous robotic blue dinosaur with giant wheels in place of legs, red crossed eyes, and a yellow avian-like beak. It is powered by a Cave Person doll, or in Kooky's words, "a genuine cavepatch doll," (possibly a reference to the Cabbage Patch Kids line of dolls) used as bait to attract a Tyrannosaurus rex inside the Mechanasaur running on a treadmill, which turns the robot's wheels and allows it to move. Inside the mouth is a purple, fire-breathing Rex, which Kooky dubs "the Kooky key to any door," used to launch fireballs at a desired target. The top of the Mechanasaur also has a fenced cockpit in which to pilot the robot.
After spying the Mario Bros. as they invent the wheel and cars for the Cave People, Kooky is inspired to build the Mega Mechanasaur. After its completion, Kooky and King Koopa use it to destroy Dome City. However, the robot is stopped by Mario, Luigi, and the Cave People, setting up logs as speed bumps, traffic lights spitting out fire at it, and potholes dug by Yoshi. After it becomes stuck in a pothole, the Mega Mechanasaur falls over and is destroyed.

Naming[edit]
The Mechanasaur's name is a portmanteau of "mechanical" and "dinosaur." Its nickname, "Big Feet," is a reference to the mythical Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch.
