'''Plessie''' is a large, friendly dinosaur that appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. It allows up to four playable characters to ride it through certain levels or sections of levels, similarly to [[Dorrie]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', its [[Nintendo DS]] remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Its name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|Plesiosauria|plesiosaur}}" and "Nessie"; the former is an extinct group of large marine reptiles that are often confused as dinosaurs, and the latter is the nickname given to the {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}}. | '''Plessie''' is a large, friendly dinosaur that appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.

During gameplay, it is around three to four times as tall as [[Mario]], although the artwork made for the ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'' shows it being around only twice as tall as Mario.

Its large belly allows it to slide across the water quickly. The bottom of each foot, including the toes, is fully covered by a white pad. Its back features four darker stripes with rounded borders that are perpendicular to its tail. Its eyes each have an orange eyelid, a white sclera, and a big oval pupil surrounded by an aqua-green iris. The upper part of its muzzle is elongated like that of a {{wp|crocodile}}, and near its top, there is a white protruding end with two nostrils. Its tail is long and ends with a three-lobed cyan structure resting on the coronal plane. Knotted on the left side of its neck is a red bandanna. | ||
Plessie's design shares some features with the design of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], such as a bipedal posture with short legs, white soft tissue that spans the lower part of the body, big oval eyes pointing forward with a white sclera, nostrils that are hosted near the top of a round protruding end of the upper part of the muzzle, and a crest on the back of the head, although Plessie's has a different shape than that of Yoshis. They also share the same suffix, ''-sshi'' (「ッシー」), in their Japanese names. | Plessie's design shares some features with the design of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], such as a bipedal posture with short legs, white soft tissue that spans the lower part of the body, big oval eyes pointing forward with a white sclera, nostrils that are hosted near the top of a round protruding end of the upper part of the muzzle, and a crest on the back of the head, although Plessie's has a different shape than that of Yoshis.
