Astro’s Playroom [PS5] – T-rex / Astro

Media: video game: “Astro’s Playroom”
Developer: Japan Studio, Team Asobi
Platform: PlayStation 5

Description: 

Once all four worlds are completed, a fifth level opens up with the subtitle “1994 Throwback.” Upon reaching the end of the brief level, the T-rex from the 1994 PlayStation tech demo appears as a boss. A view into its mouth can be seen as it roars at Astro Bot and spits enemies at him, and it will regularly use biting attacks, though this deals contact damage, rather than the T-rex actually swallowing him.

After defeating the T-rex, a robotic T-rex then appears and acts as the final boss. It behaves largely similarly to the first T-rex, but when defeated, Astro must grab its tongue and pull it so it strikes it in the face.
