In ''Super Mario World'' and its [[Game Boy Advance]] port ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', Dino-Torches attack by either charging at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] or attempting to burn them with their [[Fire Breath|fire breathing]], which can be sprayed upward or forward. A Dino-Torch can be defeated with a stomp or [[Super Star]], but care must be taken that Mario or Luigi does not jump into its flames. | |||
When a [[Dino Rhino|Dino-Rhino]] is jumped on, it transforms into a Dino-Torch. While Dino-Rhinos are immune to fire; their smaller counterparts are not. The Dino-Torches are also more agile and mobile; they can jump higher and move faster. | When a [[Dino Rhino|Dino-Rhino]] is jumped on, it transforms into a Dino-Torch.
