Pterodactyls appear in the PC version of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]''. It appears if [[Mario]] enters an incorrect time or date into the [[Timulator]], in which case he ends up in the [[Cretaceous Period]]. As soon as he arrives, the Pterodactyl begins launching eggs at him, and the only way for Mario to return to the present is by catching enough of them in a basket. The number of eggs that he needs to catch depends on the difficulty that the game is set at. [[Bullet Bill]]s also attack Mario while he is catching them. After Mario catches enough eggs, he [[jump]]s onto the back of [[Yoshi]], who runs back to the present. | Pterodactyls appear in the PC version of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]''.
