Named for the playful dinosaurs. Yoshis. Dinosaur Land is a mysterious plate with lush rolling hills,

jagged peaks and an emerald forest set upon the backdrop of a deep blue sea. It's a perfect spot for

a vacation— or so the Mario Bros, and Princess Toadstool thought. Something is amiss in Dinosaur

Land, and all clues lead to a nefarious family of Koopas led by the one and only, Bowser.
