Tryclyde: Difference between revisions

Not much of Tryclyde's past is revealed, though it is mentioned that he was originally an outcast; he was recruited by [[Wart]] due to his "cunning brain and offensive capabilities which are three times normal strength".<ref name=SMB2>''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet. Page 27.</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Tryclyde acts as the guardian of [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2]] and [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6]]. Upon sighting the player, he shoots [[fireball]]s at them. In order to injure Tryclyde, the player needs to throw three [[Mushroom Block]]s at him, which are resistant to Tryclyde's fire breath. After being hit by three Mushroom Blocks, Tryclyde is defeated. In this incarnation, he is red with black stripes or wrinkles. Only the front two heads actually move and spit fire; the back one stays still and only reacts to getting hit.

While Tryclyde reprises his role in the version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' included in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', he is only the boss of World 2 in the ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' version, his rematch in World 6 having been replaced by [[Mouser]]'s own (originally from World 3). His color changes in the remakes, coloring him turquoise and orange. Upon defeat in ''Super Mario Advance'', Tryclyde can be heard shouting, "Impossible!" In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance'' versions of the game, Tryclyde is recolored turquoise in the game, yet official artwork still depicts him in red like the original NES version. Most official artwork related to ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' shows Tryclyde with visible bottom fangs, yet in-game, the upper fangs are visible instead. He is also depicted in artwork with plain smooth skin rather than stripes.

Tryclyde returns with the other bosses from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. Like in the first game, Tryclyde serves as a boss, and is fought in a similar way as in his battle from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

 

Tryclyde's mugshot depicts him having a green coloration, closer to his in-game sprite reused from ''Super Mario All-Stars'', though the cutscenes in which he appears color him red.
