'''Dinosaur Land''' | '''Dinosaur Land''', also known as '''Dinosaur Island''',<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020214130231/http://www.gameboy.com/smw/flash.html ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' official site]</ref> is an archipelago inhabited by [[dinosaur]]s and the region where [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] go on a vacation to in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Dinosaur Land generally has a lush, green appearance to it, along with several hills. It also has some mountains, caves, a forest area, and an underground valley. There is almost no industrialization on Dinosaur Land except for [[Ghost House]]s, and the [[fortress]]es and [[castle]]s set up by [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]]. | ||
[[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s are notable inhabitants of Dinosaur Land and live in the first [[world]], [[Yoshi's Island]]. Despite its name, several of Dinosaur Land's inhabitants are not dinosaurs, such as [[Dolphin]]s and [[Swoop]]ers. Other dinosaurs found on the island include [[Blargg]]s, [[Dino Rhino|Dino-Rhino]]s, [[Dino-Torch]]s, [[Eerie]]s, [[Rex]]es, and [[Reznor]]s. | |||
The Japanese Shogakukan guide for the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' features an origin story for Dinosaur Land. In the ancient past, an active volcano in the middle of the islands located in the southern seas rendered the dinosaurs living there extinct. Tens of thousands of years later, five shooting stars (implied to be the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]]) came from the light of [[Star World]] one night, and one of them knocked the top half of a [[Yoshi's Egg|fossilized egg]] to its lower half inhabited by contemporary monsters, resulting in [[Yoshi]] hatching. These events also resulted in the resurrection of other dinosaurs, and the islands came to be known as Dinosaur Land.<ref>「任天堂公式ガイドブック ヨッシーのたまご」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Yoshi's Egg''), pages [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P4.jpg|4]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P5.jpg|5]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P6.jpg|6]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P7.jpg|7]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P8.jpg|8]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P9.jpg|9]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 10.jpg|10]], [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 11.jpg|11]].</ref> | |||

[[File:DinoLandflag.jpg|thumb|Princess Toadstool and her class pledge to Dinosaur Land's flag, as seen in the ''Super Mario World'' episode "[[A Little Learning]]".]] | |||
{{quote2|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.|Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, Oogtar, and the Cave Kids (first sentence), Hip and Hop Koopa (second sentence)}} | |||
Dinosaur Land is the main setting in every episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. Throughout the show, Dinosaur Land is mostly referred to as '''Dinosaur World''' (except by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] in "[[Send in the Clown]]"). | |||
Unlike the game ''Super Mario World'', Dinosaur World's main inhabitants consist of [[Cave People]], and there is only one [[Yoshi]] that lives there. The Cave People lack technology, although they managed to have built at least one city, [[Dome City]]. Throughout the show, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] have tried to introduce modern culture to Dinosaur Land's inhabitants. | |||
In "[[A Little Learning]]" [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] opens a school. The episode reveals that Dinosaur World has a flag, which is red with blue and yellow stripes. A light blue circle with a green dinosaur is in the center of the flag. The school day starts with the characters pledging to the Dinosaur Land flag; the pledge largely parodies the [[United States of America|United States]]' {{wp|Pledge of Allegiance}}. Princess Toadstool, Yoshi, and the Cave People say the first part of the pledge. Hip and Hop Koopa interrupt them by making up the second part of the pledge, which is about [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and his minions. | |||
[[ | |||
In "[[Mama Luigi]]", Luigi tells Yoshi that Mario and Peach, along with himself, had come to Dinosaur Land to stop King Koopa. He explains that they had succeeded at banishing King Koopa and his Koopalings from the Mushroom Kingdom and celebrated by taking a vacation in Dinosaur Land, only to see that King Koopa had relocated there. | |||
