− | Dry Bones are the living skeletons of Koopas | + | Dry Bones are the living skeletons of Koopas and seemingly what a Koopa becomes in its afterlife. They seem to be mindless and are known for being nearly invincible. They primarily attack by tossing bones at their enemies. Many attacks will cause them to crumble, but they will often reform themselves shortly afterwards. They can only be permanently destroyed through certain methods, which vary from game to game, although [[Starman|invincibility Starmen]] are always effective. |
− | Dry Bones | + | The Dry Bones' weakness has included the [[Hammer Suit]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Cape Feather|cape]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (as well as ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a [[Mega Mushroom]] as well as the [[Koopa Shell]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being frozen by an [[Ice Flower]] or [[Penguin Suit]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and a [[Bullet Bill]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. In ''Galaxy'', they appeared in the Dune Desert Galaxy and could also be destroyed by being lured into quicksand. They also appear in the Shriek Mansion area of ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they are destroyed only through use of the Rage Vibe. |
− | + | Even though they are immune to fire in most of the mainstream games, the Dry Bones's primary weakness is fire in most of the RPG games. In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', they appear in the Sunken Ship and can only be permanently defeated in battle with special attacks (which include Mario's fire attacks) or usage of pure water. Even after the battle has ended, the Dry Bones will only temporarily crumble on the map. In the ''Paper Mario'' games, there were several different versions of the enemy, with Dry Bones being the third strongest. They are also capable of "building" additional Dry Bones during a battle. They are found in Bowser's Castle in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the Palace of Shadows in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and the Underwhere as well as the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. | |
− | + | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', a version of Dry Bones that walks on all fours appears. They attack by tossing their spinning heads at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. They are found in the Hoohoo Mountain area, and a version that is stronger as well as poisonous appears in the Teehee Valley. A more traditional version of the Dry Bones appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where they were found within the [[Yoob]]'s Belly (seemingly implying that they are the remains of Koopas ingested by the Yoob). | |
− | + | Dry Bones sometimes show signs of intelligence and speech capabilities. Notably, a Dry Bones appears as one of the [[Characters in Super Mario RPG|Three Musty Fears]] in ''Super Mario RPG''. Bowser has also been shown to have become a skeletal version of himself, known as "Dry Bowser", in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' before being revived. | |
