'''Dino Rhinos''', sometimes hyphenated as '''Dino-Rhinos''', are {{wp|Ceratopsia}}n [[dinosaur]]s first seen in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Art - Dino Rhino.png|thumb|left|Artwork of a Dino-Rhino from ''[[Super Mario World]]'']]
Dino-Rhinos reside in [[Chocolate Island]], located in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They will follow [[Mario]] and jump over short obstacles to get him. When Mario jumps on one, it turns into a [[Dino-Torch]]. Dino-Torches are capable of breathing fire, unlike their bigger form, although there are unused sprites of Dino-Rhinos breathing fire. [[Mario]] can also defeat the enemy in one go by [[Spin Jump]]ing on one or jumping on it with [[Yoshi]]. Yoshi can eat Dino-Torches, but not the large Dino-Rhinos. Additionally, Dino-Rhinos are immune to [[fireball]]s.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In both the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the game, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the king of World 3, [[Water Land|Sea Side]], was transformed into a purple Dino Rhino.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:CartoonDinoRhino.jpg|thumb|A Dino-Rhino from the ''Super Mario World'' television series]]
Dino-Rhinos, though never named as such, appeared only once in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series. In the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]", a Dino-Rhino, along with two Dino-Torches, was shown to be held in a cage in [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s "Koopaling Bros. Circus". After being shoved into this cage by Koopa, Mario narrowly avoids being eaten by the Dino-Rhino, which he defeats by shooting fireballs into the creature's mouth after transforming into [[Fire Mario]] by using a [[Fire Flower]].

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
While traveling through a forest in the [[Nintendo Adventure Book]] ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', Mario, Luigi, [[Toad]] and the [[Mushroom King]] encounter a herd of Dino Rhinos that, depending on how the reader solves the accompanying puzzle, will either narrowly miss the quartet or run them down, causing them to lose their International Dino-Flying Derby tickets and some [[Coin]]s. In ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'', after shedding his [[Toad (species)|Toad]] disguise around the beginning of the story, Bowser escapes Mushroom Palace by jumping out a window and onto the back of a waiting Dino Rhino. Other Dino Rhinos are shrunk by [[Magikoopa]], and some of them are eaten by [[Yoshi]] and can be encountered by Mario, both inside and outside the dinosaur's body.

In the final book, ''[[Brain Drain]]'', Mario and Luigi (who is in the body of a [[Koopa Troopa]] due to [[Iggy Koopa]]'s [[Synapse Switcher]]) can encounter a group of Dino Rhinos and [[Sumo Bro]]s. Luigi can gain the trust of these enemies if he "scares" Mario away, but will wind up switching bodies again (if he does not have pizza to plug his ears with) when the group decide to celebrate by listening to a radio that Iggy is using to broadcast the Synapse Switcher's signal.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:AlbinoDino PM.png|thumb|left]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a white version of Dino Rhinos, called [[Albino Dino]]s, appear as guards in the [[Crystal Palace]]. They would have additionally (or instead) been enemies that Mario could fight, but they were removed. However, their battle data remains complete within the game's files.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Dino Rhinos appear in [[Mossrock Theater]]. They attack by ramming and breathing fire, like a [[Dino-Torch]]. Stronger counterparts known as [[Wild Dino Rhino]]s appear in [[The Emerald Circus]], alongside an [[Animal Trainer Shy Guy]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:PMTOK Sombrero Guy cafe.png|thumb|right|A Dino Rhino in the Shroom City café]]
One Dino Rhino appears as an NPC in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It appears in the [[Shroom City (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Shroom City]] [[café]], singing alongside a [[Ptooie]] and a [[Sombrero Guy]].

The in-game concept art shows that origami Dino Rhinos were originally going to be enemies.
