Dinobot

Dinobot is the boss of the 4th world, Detritus Desert, in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (HD).
== Description ==
Dinobot is a giant, robotic dinosaur. He features many platforms on him that lead the player to the ending, where there is a button. The button is what defeats him by shutting him off. There are mole enemies and missiles along the way.
== Boss Battle Tutorial ==
To defeat him, you must keep crossing until you come to a 3x3 set of mole enemies. One of these mole enemies has a pink button on its head; jump on this mole enemy's head, and then proceed to the next section, which has missiles on which you must jump. Jump on one missile from both shooters. Then, proceed along the way, and hit the button on Dinobot's head while avoiding mole enemies and missiles.
==Changes in Banana Blitz HD==
This boss has undergone a significant number of changes in order to make him more challenging. The energy barriers for the 3x3 mole enemy set and missile shooter sections of the boss now appear on the very outer edge of their respective segments on Dinobot, preventing the player from skipping these sections by going around the outside of the segments. The moles in the 3x3 mole enemy set section throw a larger number of boomerangs when they pop up. Both types of missiles deal noticeably more knockback to the player, even being able to lift the player off the ground with ease, making avoiding them much more essential. The homing missiles also travel faster and circle the player more aggressively.
Additionally, returned missiles have worse pathfinding, and are more likely to crash into the stage.

== Trivia ==
*In the original Wii version, the intro animation could be skipped by holding down A, as the game considers the cutscene to be a part of the level intro. This is the only boss in the game with this oversight. It was fixed in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD.
*Dinobot was renamed Technosaur in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD.
*In Banana Blitz HD, the bananas that spawn from destroying the large cannons on the middle section will now regenerate upon falling out, even if they were collected already. Because of this, and the ability to stockpile lives in said game, it is possible to exploit this fact to gain arbitrarily high scores for this stage.
*In the Wii version, the lights on the Dinobot's eyes, and a large light on the underside of its neck were lit up, and would flicker and eventually turn off during its defeat animation. This is no longer the case in Banana Blitz HD.
*In Banana Blitz HD, the new music used for this boss fight is the Green Ship theme from Super Monkey Ball 3D.
