Unlike most enemies, T-Rexes are generally framed as wildlife in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', not as adversaries.


Two T-Rexes can be found in the Cascade Kingdom: one on a hill in the western half of Fossil Falls, and one in an optional subterranean area called Dinosaur Nest. These particular T-Rexes are found napping and will not attack Mario or damage him on contact. A fedora-wearing T-Rex can be found patrolling a path around a large tree in the Deep Woods of the Wooded Kingdom and will chase Mario when it makes visual contact. This one can either be stunned by tricking it into ramming its head into a stone wall or throwing a [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seed]] at its head to knock it out, making it possible to be captured for a short time before it wakes up. A fourth T-Rex in an [[Crazy Cap#List of items sold by Crazy Cap|Aviator Cap]] can be found in a hidden area within the [[Metro Kingdom]] called T-Rex Alleyway, where it chases down Mario along a stretch of street. Unlike the other captures, T-Rexes can only be controlled for a limited time due to Cappy requiring a lot of energy to keep such a large creature captured. Once the time expires, the T-Rex returns to the spot where it was originally captured. However, this can be circumnavigated by releasing and recapturing it quickly. The one in the Metro Kingdom cannot be captured and exists solely for a [[motor scooter]]-based chase sequence, and eventually falls down a bottomless pit.

According to director [[Kenta Motokura]], the T-Rex's realistic design was influenced by ''[[Super Mario World]]'', another game where Mario is alongside [[dinosaur]]s.

“T-Rex, most terrible of all dinosaurs, can pulverize a boulder with a single blow. On the other hand, most people don't realize how much time they spend napping.”
—Cascade Kingdom brochure, Super Mario Odyssey

T-Rexes, nicknamed "Prehistoric Tyrants"[1] and occasionally referred to as dinosaurs,[2][3][4] are enemies from Super Mario Odyssey that can be captured by Cappy. They are artistically realistic Tyrannosaurus rex, contrasting with the fantastic designs of most characters in the Super Mario franchise. Unlike most enemies, T-Rexes are generally framed as wildlife in Super Mario Odyssey, not as adversaries.

Design[edit]

According to director Kenta Motokura, the T-Rex's realistic design was influenced by Super Mario World, another game where Mario is alongside dinosaurs. The development team wanted to include a dinosaur never seen in a Super Mario game before in hopes of surprising the player, causing the developers to steer away from the more cartoonish and caricatured dinosaur designs used in Super Mario World.[5] The realistic design philosophy applied to the T-Rex permeates through Super Mario Odyssey. Other examples of realistic character designs include the Sphynx, New Donkers, the dog, and the Ruined Dragon.

History[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

The T-Rex from Cascade Kingdom
A sleeping T-Rex in Fossil Falls.

In Super Mario Odyssey, T-Rexes are native to the Cascade Kingdom and the Deep Woods of the Wooded Kingdom, two of the only places in the world where they have survived into the modern era.[6][4][7] Their iconography is incorporated into souvenirs available at the Crazy Cap in Fossil Falls, namely a diorama and sticker. One of the individuals here, the first T-Rex encountered by Mario, is believed to be female and is a subject of field research.[8] Apparently, throwing a rock in their general vicinity is enough to spook them.[4]

Two T-Rexes can be found in the Cascade Kingdom: one on a hill in the western half of Fossil Falls, and one in an subterranean area called the Dinosaur Nest. These dinosaurs are found napping and will not attack Mario or damage him on contact. He can even stand on one's body as it sleeps. A fedora-wearing T-Rex can be found patrolling a path around a large tree in the Deep Woods and will chase Mario when it makes visual contact. This one can either be stunned by luring it into a stone wall or throwing a giant seed at its head to knock it out, making it available to capture for a short time before it regains consciousness. A fourth T-Rex in an Aviator Cap can be found in a hidden area within the Metro Kingdom, where it chases down Mario down a narrow street. A T-Rex appears on the pages of newspapers read by New Donkers.

A captured T-Rex is indestructible and can destroy stone walls. It dashes when the player holds Y Button while walking, and snaps its jaws with B Button. Unlike the other captures, T-Rexes can only be controlled for a limited time due to Cappy requiring a lot of energy to keep such a large creature captured. Once the time expires, the T-Rex returns to the spot where it was originally captured. The player can circumnavigate this limitation by releasing and recapturing it quickly. The dinosaur in New Donk City is the only T-Rex that cannot be captured. It exists solely for a motor scooter-based chase sequence, and ultimately falls down a pit.

In a My Nintendo-exclusive poll conducted during E3 2017, the T-Rex was voted the top enemy that account owners wanted to capture and play as, well above the Goomba, Bullet Bill, Hammer Bro, Chain Chomp, and Cheep Cheep which were also part of the poll. Shigeru Miyamoto likened Mario's ability to capture and control a T-Rex in Super Mario Odyssey to riding Yoshi.[9]

Other appearances[edit]

The Skelesaurus enemy in Yoshi's Crafted World is referred to as a "Tyrannosaurus" in the game's files.

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Toad's backpack includes a pin designed after the Cascade Kingdom Sticker and features the T-Rex. It is visible here, towards the bottom left.
