Rexes, though simplygenerically referred to by the generic termas '''Dinosaurs''', make several appearances in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. The Rexes of ''Super Mario World'' come in different colors, such as green, red and yellow. Unlike in the game, they bear at least some resemblance to actual dinosaurs, they lack shoes, have clawed hands and feet, and their lower jaw now has different coloring from their belly. Some Rexes have bird-like wings, and others have second nasal horns.

Rexes first appeared in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]", where several are shown disguised as clowns in [[Bowser|King Koopa]]'s "Koopaling Bros. Circus". After several misadventures in their circus act, that the clowns are accidentally revealed to be Rexes, who, upon tearing off their costumes, begin to herd all the circus audience members into a large pit. In this episode, they more closely resemble their in-game depiction.

In "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]", several multi-coloredmulticolored 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-frieing 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]], only toand 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.

In the episode "[[Born to Ride]]", two Rex bikers named [[Duke,Dino Lulu and RockmanRiders|Duke and Rockman]] appear. Duke and Rockman, along with their ally, Lulu, attempted to manipulate Yoshi into capturing Mario and Luigi for them, only to be beaten in the end.

In a later episode entitled "[[Rock TV]]", two other Rex characters named the [[Tyrannosaurus Twins]] appear. The Tyrannosaurus Twins, who wereare wrestlers, afterand pummelingpummeled Mario and Luigi for sometime, arethough they were eventually defeated by Cape Mario.

Rexes are obviously dinosaur-like dragons as you could probably tell by looking at the image above 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'' shows 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 cobalt 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 the [[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 page 61 of the ''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', it is said even said that Yoshis are relatives of Rexes from long ago.
