====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Bone Goombas first appear in {{world link|1|towern2|World 1-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}.  

When defeated, the skulls on their heads are broken, revealing that they are just normal Goombas with a teal coloration, similar to the Goombas found underground in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Additionally, these teal Goombas appear without skulls in {{world link|6|ghosthousen2|World 6-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, {{world link|flower|ghosthousen2|World Flower-Ghost House}}, and in the [[Gold Classics Pack]].

 

Bone Goombas appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' on the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board. They appear on the third Star Stage initially on the second spot and give out five [[Mini Ztar]]s.

Bone Goombas make their ''Paper Mario'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', where they are enemies that can be fought in [[Marmalade Valley]]. They are slightly stronger than regular Goombas, but otherwise act the same. In addition, it is the first game in which they can open their mouths.

Bone Goombas return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami Bone Goombas appear as enemies in the [[Temple of Shrooms]], [[Bonehead Island]], and [[Scorching Sandpaper Desert]] once the sun returns. In battle, Bone Goombas attack similarly to regular Goombas with Skullbonk, though they are a lot stronger. A regular Bone Goomba also appears as part of the [[Canned-Food Par-tay Trio]] in Autumn Mountain and briefly accompanies Mario until he arrives at their party. If Mario enters battle while the Bone Goomba follows him, it aids in battle by attacking one enemy with Skullbonk, dealing 20 damage. However, this attack does not work against [[Spiny|Spinies]]. This Bone Goomba can also use its teeth to open cans, such as [[Canned Tuna]] and the [[Canned Heart]]. Another regular Bone Goomba appears in the [[Bonehead Island]] [[café]]. It offers for Mario to borrow its spoon, and then tells the [[Dry Bones]] that runs the café that its friend, another Dry Bones, is exhausted. Additionally, the Bone Goombas in this game speak in broken English.

In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'', Bone Goombas appear as drawings imprinted on the sides of book shelves and bureaus found in several areas of [[Spooky Trails]].

==Notes==

*Twenty-one years prior to ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', a skeletal version of a [[Galoomba]] similar to a Bone Goomba called「ホネクリボン」(''[[Hone Kuribon]]'', "Bone Galoomba") is encountered in the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 1|first volume]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' in the chapter revolving around a theoretical "''Super Mario Bros. 5''". Upon being stomped, it releases a power-up that transforms Mario in a skeleton for a limited time.
