Completed map of Dinosaur Land.
Dinosaur Land (also known as Dinosaur World or Dinosaur Island) is a collection of islands in the sea near the Mushroom Kingdom. Its first appearance was in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game Super Mario World, where Mario, Luigi, and Peach went there to go on vacation. On their arrival, Peach was kidnapped and all the Yoshis of Dinosaur Land were trapped in eggs. Bowser and his Koopalings set up their own castles in each land. Iggy has taken Yoshi's Island, Morton took over Donut Plains, Lemmy captured Vanilla Dome, Ludwig seized Cookie Mountain, Twin Bridges and Soda Lake, Roy acquired the Forest of Illusion, Wendy obtained Chocolate Island and Larry and Bowser inhabited Valley of Bowser while the Star Road and the Special Zone are unclaimed.
Species[]
Despite the name, this place has a few other dinosaur species. Most of the inhabitants are not dinosaurs (including Dolphins and Swoopers). The only other dinosaur species are Blarggs (lava dwelling dinosaurs), Dino Rhinos, Dino Torches, Rexes, and Reznors.
The reason why this place is called "Dinosaur Land" is possibly because it is inhabited by Yoshis.
