==History==
In the opening and ending sequences of ''Super Mario World'', the evil dinosaur crushes a [[Cave People|Cave Person]]'s car and attempts to eat [[Luigi]], who is saved just in time by a vine-riding [[Oogtar]]. They are both voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]], who also voices Bully Koopa and Rockman.


In "[[Party Line]]" the evil dinosaur appears near the beginning of the episode, where it attempts to attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yoshi]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Before the evil dinosaur can eat them though, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Princess Toadstool manage to evade the evil dinosaur by hiding behind a rock.
In "[[Party Line]]", the evil dinosaur appears near the beginning of the episode. It approaches [[Mario]], Luigi, [[Yoshi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]; the latter comments that he looks hungry. It walks past them when they hide behind a rock.


The evil dinosaur appears later in the episode rampaging through [[Dome City]], which is nearly defenseless due to the [[Cave People (Super Mario World television series)|Cave People]] being too busy gossiping on their new phones to fight the evil dinosaur off.
It returns later in the episode, rampaging through [[Dome City]] while the Cave People are distracted by their telephones. It is about to eat Oogtar, but when Mario tugs its tail, it chases him instead. Mario briefly winds it when he is flung from a vine. The evil dinosaur lunges at Mario afterward but misses. It chews up several [[coin]]s that Mario pelts at it, then throws one back at Mario's head, dizzying him. Mario uses a [[Super Star|Starman]] to clamp the evil dinosaur's snout shut and launch it spinning like a tornado into space. It is last seen hurtling through a group of [[Caterpillar]]s.

"[[Mama Luigi]]" shows that Luigi and Yoshi had met the evil dinosaur before. It and its teal friend, also a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', confronted them with intent to eat Yoshi. The dinosaurs ultimately could not reach their prey once Luigi jumped across a river of [[lava]].


Running after Mario, the evil dinosaur is bashed in the chest when Mario bounces through the air after running into and bouncing off a vine. Though winded, the evil dinosaur tries to lunge at Mario, who jumps out of the way, causing the evil dinosaur to fall to the ground. Getting-up, the evil dinosaur sees Mario hitting several [[Question Block|? Block]]s looking for an item to help him in battle. Unfortunately for Mario, all he gets from the ? Blocks are [[coin]]s, which Mario feebly throws at the evil dinosaur. Eating these coins, the evil dinosaur quickly spits them out and throws one at Mario's head, making the him dizzy.
This coin bounces off Mario's head and hits a nearby ? Block, which releases a [[Cape Feather|feather]]. A disoriented Mario tries to grab this feather, but fails and falls to the ground. On the ground, Mario inexplicably has a [[Super Star|Starman]] in his hand, which he uses to become super-powerful.
With his newfound super-strength, Mario grabs the evil dinosaur by the snout and launches it into space, where he continually soars, never to be heard from again.
It is later revealed in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]" that Luigi and Yoshi had met the evil dinosaur before. Shortly after finding the recently hatched Yoshi, Luigi is attacked by the evil dinosaur and its turquoise friend, also a tyrannosaurus rex, in the [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Pits]].
Thinking Yoshi to be the baby of the evil dinosaur and its friend, Luigi tries to hand Yoshi over to the two dinosaurs. Luigi quickly grabs Yoshi away after the evil dinosaur tries to eat him. An enraged evil dinosaur tries to eat Luigi, who narrowly escapes the evil dinosaur and its friend by jumping across a river of [[lava]] with Yoshi.
The evil dinosaur also appears in the opening and ending sequences of ''Super Mario World''; here, the evil dinosaur, after crushing a Cave Person's car, attempts to eat Luigi, who is saved just in time by a vine-riding Oogtar. They are both voiced by [[Dan Hennessey]], who also voices Bully Koopa and Rockman.

The evil dinosaur[1] is a purple Tyrannosaurus rex that is a recurring antagonist in the Super Mario World animated series.

History[edit]

In the opening and ending sequences of Super Mario World, the evil dinosaur crushes a Cave Person's car and attempts to eat Luigi, who is saved just in time by a vine-riding Oogtar. They are both voiced by Dan Hennessey, who also voices Bully Koopa and Rockman.

In "Party Line", the evil dinosaur appears near the beginning of the episode. It approaches Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Princess Toadstool; the latter comments that he looks hungry. It walks past them when they hide behind a rock.

It returns later in the episode, rampaging through Dome City while the Cave People are distracted by their telephones. It is about to eat Oogtar, but when Mario tugs its tail, it chases him instead. Mario briefly winds it when he is flung from a vine. The evil dinosaur lunges at Mario afterward but misses. It chews up several coins that Mario pelts at it, then throws one back at Mario's head, dizzying him. Mario uses a Starman to clamp the evil dinosaur's snout shut and launch it spinning like a tornado into space. It is last seen hurtling through a group of Caterpillars.

"Mama Luigi" shows that Luigi and Yoshi had met the evil dinosaur before. It and its teal friend, also a Tyrannosaurus rex, confronted them with intent to eat Yoshi. The dinosaurs ultimately could not reach their prey once Luigi jumped across a river of lava.
