“We represent Pizza Dinosaur! We got the most stores in the world! Our crust is tough and our sauce is thin, but we're everywhere so you gotta give in!”
The Dinosaurs, WarioWare: Twisted!

The Dinosaurs are a pair of characters who appear in only two games—the WarioWare games WarioWare: Twisted! and WarioWare: Touched!, where they antagonize Mona.

Although the Dinosaurs do not appear in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Team Dinosaur have a similar localized name and also serve as antagonists in Mona's story.

General information[edit]

The Dinosaurs wear exaggerated costumes that appear to parody Super Sentai villains.

History[edit]

WarioWare: Twisted![edit]

The Yum Yums in WarioWare: Twisted!
The Dinosaurs pursuing Mona and her Elephant, Piggy, and Chimp in WarioWare: Twisted!

The Dinosaurs first appear in WarioWare: Twisted! Here, they only appear in Mona's story, where they work for the Pizza Dinosaur restaurant in Diamond City. They receive a call at Pizza Dinosaur and immediately begin yelling at the customer, who mistakenly believed them to be Mona Pizza and quickly hangs up. The Dinosaurs become enraged and attack Mona in large robotic dinosaurs. The Dinosaurs are stopped by Mona's Pets, who destroy their machines. They also have their own unlockable souvenir in the records section; the description of this record is Mona stating, "I can't believe those corporate jerks put out a record, too." The second and final half of the song "Mona Pizza" is sung by the Dinosaurs as well.

WarioWare: Touched![edit]

The Dinosaurs as Vanessa's band

The Dinosaurs return in WarioWare: Touched! Unlike in WarioWare: Twisted!, they work as guitarists of the band of Mona's rival, Vanessa. When Vanessa is knocked down to the number 2 hit singer in Ear Candy, her band sets off an attempt at stopping Mona from performing at the Hawt House by attacking her with an eagle mech. When the Dinosaurs kidnap Art, the Yum Yums pilot their vehicles to pursue them, only to be knocked away. Eventually, 4.1, 4.2, and Pizza Joe pursue the Dinosaurs in their own vehicles, only for the lattermost to be knocked away as well. 4.1 and 4.2 are later foiled in their attempt to destroy the Dinosaurs' eagle mech by shooting soccer balls at it, but Decko's attempt to destroy the ship by ejecting and latching himself onto it is successful, setting Art free.
