Rexes are rare enemies in ''Super Mario World'' who act like [[Goomba]]s, simply walking in Mario's direction. They are usually found in small groups. In order to defeat a Rex, Mario needs to jump on it twice. After being jumped on once, a Rex simply becomes flattened and moves slightly quicker. A [[Spin Jump]] can destroy them in one hit, as will shooting a [[fireball]], hitting it with a [[cape]] or running into it while using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Rexes can also be eaten by Yoshi. Rexes can be found in [[Yoshi's Island 1]], [[Chocolate Island 2]], and [[Awesome]].

In order to defeat a Rex, Mario needs to jump on it twice. After being jumped on once, a Rex gets its upper body stomped into its torso, reducing its height by half and causing it to move slightly quicker. If a Rex gets stomped on a second time, it gets defeated and flattened completely. A [[Spin Jump]] can destroy them in one hit, as will shooting a [[fireball]], hitting it with a [[cape]] or running into it while using a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Rexes can also be eaten by Yoshi. Rexes can be found in [[Yoshi's Island 1]], [[Chocolate Island 2]], and [[Awesome]].

In "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]", several multicolored Rexes are shown to be working as employees at King Koopa's fast food stand. After it is revealed that King Koopa had planned on mutating the inhabitants of [[Dome City]] into [[Chickadactyl]]s - which he plans on deep frying and selling to Rexes - King Koopa sends several Rexes to capture Mario and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. Mario and Princess Toadstool escape using the [[Star World|Star Path]], and return later to defeat the Rexes using a cape. The Rexes that were not defeated by [[Cape Mario]] later escaped down a [[Warp Pipe|Warp Tube]], along with King Koopa.

A Rex has appeared in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. Yoshi invites Mario and Luigi to meet his friend, a Rex who decided to turn against Bowser. He captures the Mario Bros. and attacks Yoshi, thinking they're working for Bowser. After the Mario Bros. demand an explanation, Yoshi convinces the Rex that he is a friend by showing his long tongue. The four then go into Rex's house, where Yoshi demands food, and Rex promises to cook. However, a Magikoopa and a Koopa Troopa called "Number 3" then use the [[kamemeka]] (an enchanted Koopa Shell) to brainwash Rex. Rex then makes a poisoned soup in attempt to defeat Mario, which Yoshi quickly digests. Rex then smugly asks if Yoshi enjoys the poisoned meal, which shocks Mario. After some groaning, however, Yoshi claims it was "delicious". Mario calls Yoshi an idiot, pointing out Rex's intention to kill them, but Yoshi denies it, saying that Rex is only a harmless friend.

Furious that he did not succeed, Rex then uses a flamethrower to burn Mario and Yoshi, while Luigi dodges in time. The Magikoopa then uses his power to make Rex grow. Rex attempts to stomp on Mario, but Mario steals his shoe and tries to use it as a [[Goomba's Shoe]], only to be overpowered by its odor. Yoshi then tries and fails to make Rex remember good memories. Meanwhile, the Magikoopa decides it is time to finish off Mario and his friends, and gives the Rex bigger wings, transforming him into a Super Rex. During a chase, however, Mario finds a switch and turns it on, letting blocks fall on the Rex's head and removing the magical Koopa Shell. After the kamamaka falls off, Rex and the others put the kamemeka on The Magikoopa instead, and Mario forces The Magikoopa to dance under it, thus ending the chapter.

Rexes reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' as enemies located on [[Hoohoo Mountain]], past the Hoohooros Gate. They do not appear in the overworld, and are only seen in battle alongside [[Dry Bones]] or [[Beanie]]s. Like in ''Super Mario World'', Rexes attack Mario or Luigi by charging into them, and can be flattened by [[jump]]ing on them. When they are at their full size, the Rexes' attacks cannot be dodged or countered, as they are too tall to jump over; they must be at least partly flattened for the Bros. to counterattack without getting hit. Jumping on a Rex a second time flattens it even more, though it does not decrease in height any further afterward.

In the original game, Rexes drop different items depending on if they were flattened or not upon defeat: if defeated with Hammer attacks or a strong enough Jump attack to defeat it in one hit, they drop Syrups; when defeated while flattened, they drop 1-Up Mushrooms (with Green Peppers replacing them as rare drops in the Japanese version). Rexes are healed with fire-based attacks, but take normal damage from thunder attacks.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Rexes reprise their role from the original game, and are much larger; however, Mario and Luigi can now counterattack them when they are at their full size. Rexes also make high-pitched grunts when jumped on. They also appear as enemies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', where they are Melee troopers, and attack by charging into opponents. Their Special Skill, Mega Tackle, allows them to charge quickly into an opponent, inflicting more damage than a regular charge. Rexes are the only standard ''Super Mario'' franchise enemies in the game that cannot be recruited as allies. As an enemy captain, the Rex is silent when using Captain Commands, with only an ellipses in its text box.

==Physical description and traits==
===Physical appearance and traits===
Rexes are dinosaur-like dragons with single nasal horns, large fangs, and small dragon wings. They have purplish bodies with an orange pattern that covers their bottom jaw and runs down from the sides of their mouths to underneath their bellies (there is no known orange pattern on the bottom of their tails). The main color of the Rexes' bodies varies between games and official artwork: the official artwork for ''Super Mario World'' depicts them having dark blue bodies, but in games the color is often violet or purple (with the exception of ''Super Princess Peach'' which is a solid blue). There are three rib patterns on the orange part of their bellies. Their tails have two small spines down the center. Rexes wear big red shoes similar to [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], but are more simplistic in design and have smaller beige soles underneath. Rexes have no nostrils and the backs of their heads do not have any distinguishing traits. In earlier game installments and artwork, Rexes are depicted with tiny fingers, but in some Japanese ''Super Mario'' picture books and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', they have actual fingers.

Line 107: Line 107:
A trait that Rexes have in games are their compressive bodies, being shrunken down when jumped on (similar to the Mario Bros. shrinking when powering down from their Super forms). This allows them to withstand single jump attacks and move quicker while in this flattened state (they can still be defeated instantly by any other attack, however). In the ''Mario & Luigi'' games, Rexes can be flattened two times with jump attacks (the second time flatter than the last) and the player can safely counterattack or dodge their attacks. In the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', however, Rexes do not shrink when attacked by the player's troopers that attack from above. The Rexes' body compression trait is also possessed by [[Morty Mole]]s from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.

While Shroob Rexes have the ability to breath fire, regular Rexes have not been shown to do so. Nevertheless, Rexes seem to have some affinity to fire as they can absorb fire damage in both versions of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and are primarily encountered in the stages of [[Fury Volcano]] in ''Super Princess Peach''.
