The [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] was one of the earliest forms of media to show an inhabited Dinosaur Land (though here known as '''Dinosaur World''') in-depth, and it revealed that the world was inhabited by [[human|cavepeople]] (oddly, Yoshi himself was the only Yoshi to ever appear in the show). These cavepeople were seen to have limited togetherness and intelligence, and had even built [[Dome City|at least one city]]; they were, however, rather stupid and seemed to care little about culture and organization. Because of this, several ''Super Mario World'' show episodes dealt with Mario and Luigi attempting to popularize modern items among the cavepeople and help them in vaguely political things, although their plans most often went wrong. One of the most interesting and one of the few successful of their capers, though, involved [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] [[A Little Learning|opening up a school]]; this episode even revealed that Dinosaur Land had a flag (a red, yellow, and blue one depicting what appears to be a Yoshi) and a pledge to it. This pledge, which largely parodied the [[United States]]' [[Wikipedia:Pledge of Allegiance|Pledge of Allegiance]], went like this: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Lands of Dinosaur World, and to the repulsiveness for which he stands: [[Bowser|one Koopa]] underground, reprehensible, with lizards and [[Goomba]]s for all." It is likely that the second half of this pledge, which was awkwardly stated by [[Lemmy|Hip]] and [[Iggy|Hop Koopa]], is the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]]s' answer to the pledge, though, as it deals with the Koopa Troop and evil in addition to the fact that the other students gave Lemmy and Iggy odd looks as they said it, although this could have also been due to the fact that the two Koopa enemies had merely just arrived at their school. | The [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]] was one of the earliest forms of media to show an inhabited Dinosaur Land (though here known as '''Dinosaur World''') in-depth, and it revealed that the world was inhabited by [[human|cavepeople]] (oddly, Yoshi himself was the only Yoshi to ever appear in the show).

A sign in the [[Nintendo Adventure Book]] ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' mentions a governor named B. Ron Tosaur. | ||
