The Rex is a recurring enemy type in the Super Mario series that debuted as one of the first new enemies Mario will face in Super Mario World (1990). Like many of the enemies that were introduced in SMW, Rex did not return in the next Mario games. Instead they made a pause until they re-appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003) and later its sequels up to Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions (2017).

They also appeared in the WiiU version of Minecraft in 2015.
