The Dinosaurs
- Not to be confused with Team Dinosaur.
- “We represent Pizza Dinosaur! We got the most stores in the world! Our crust is tough and our sauce is thin, but we're everywhere so you gotta give in!”
- —The Dinosaurs, WarioWare: Twisted!
The Dinosaurs are characters in the WarioWare series. They are a group of people inhabiting Diamond City who antagonize Mona and are the proprietors of the Pizza Dinosaur restaurant chain. Half of the song Mona Pizza is sung by the Dinosaurs, who boast about how great they are and that they prefer quantity over quality in their pizzas (though they do not mention this in the Japanese version of the song, instead simply boasting about their superiority over Mona Pizza). They wear exaggerated costumes that appear to parody Super Sentai villains.
The Dinosaurs first appear in WarioWare: Twisted! in Mona's story. They receive a call at Pizza Dinosaur and immediately begin yelling at the customer, who mistakenly believed them to be Mona Pizza and quickly hangs up. The Dinosaurs become enraged and attack Mona in large robotic dinosaurs. The Dinosaurs are stopped by Mona's Pets, who destroy their machines. They also have their own unlockable souvenir in the records section; the description of this record is Mona stating "I can't believe those corporate jerks put out a record, too."
In WarioWare: Touched!, the Dinosaurs appear as members of the band of Mona's rival, Vanessa. When Vanessa is knocked down to the number 2 hit singer in Ear Candy, the Dinosaurs join her in her attempt at stopping Mona from performing at the Hawt House by attacking her with an eagle mech.
