The Dinosaurs
- “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 group of people inhabiting Diamond City; they most commonly appear to antagonize Mona in the various WarioWare games and are the proprietors of the Pizza Dinosaur restaurant chain. Half of the song Mona Pizza is sung by the Dinosaurs, who boast about how great they are and that they prefer quantity over quality in their pizzas. 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."
In WarioWare: Twisted!, the Dinosaurs, after receiving a call from someone who mistakenly believed them to be Mona Pizza, become enraged and attack Mona in large robotic monsters. The Dinosaurs' mechs are stopped by Mona's pets, who destroy their machines.
Later, in WarioWare: Touched!, the Dinosaurs appear as members of the band of Mona's rival, Vanessa. When Vanessa is knocked down to the number 2 hit singer in Ear Candy, the Dinosaurs join her in stopping Mona from performing at the Hawt House by attacking her with an eagle mecha.
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, the Dinosaurs make a minor appearance as an American football team (named Team Dinosaur) during Mona's segment of the game. Although the previous games only featured two Dinosaurs, Smooth Moves features three.
