Editing Dry Bones

Dry Bones return in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its remake]]. Dry Bones are encountered in [[Fortress]]es and [[Castle]]s only. Besides a star, Dry Bones can also be defeated with a [[Cape Feather]]. They also turn around at ledges, similar to Red Koopa Troopas, instead of just falling. Some of the Dry Bones in this game can throw bones at Mario. Like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, this is the first game where Dry Bones walk on two feet. Dry Bones were given pink shoes (red in the artwork), and were made slightly larger than Mario and Luigi. They also appear larger than regular Koopa Troopas, despite being skeletal versions of them. Their appearance is somewhat more similar to [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s than Koopa Troopas, which may have been intended to tie in with the game's dinosaur-theming. Dry Bones are depicted with a visible neck, despite lacking one in the artwork. [[Bony Beetle]]s resemble squat versions of Dry Bones and use the sprites when breaking apart.

Dry Bones are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', which is also the first appearance of their larger variant, [[Mega Dry Bones|Super Dry Bones]], as well as [[Dry Bowser]]. Both Dry Bones and Super Dry Bones appear only in [[Tower]] and [[Castle]] levels, and they can be defeated by a [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Super Star|Starman]], or a [[Blue Shell]]. The main difference with Dry Bones from before is that stomping them now breaks their head off of their body, and if the head falls into [[lava]] or a [[pit]], the Dry Bones takes longer to revive. If their bodies are destroyed while crumbled, the head remains for some time before eventually despawning; if they were in the process of rebuilding themselves, the head freezes in place momentarily.

Dry Bones are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though a Dry Bones in the process of recovering can be stomped. Ways to defeat a Dry Bones include using either a [[Super Star|Star]], a [[POW Block]], a [[Koopa Shell]], or the [[Ice Flower]]/[[Penguin Suit]].

Dry Bones in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' are similar to the first ''Super Mario Galaxy''. A Dry Bones can now be defeated from falling into [[lava]], but it does not blow up in a cloud of smoke when this happens, unlike other enemies. One Dry Bones is loaded in [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], but it falls into the bottomless pit immediately due to not being placed on solid ground and thus, cannot be faced.<ref>[https://noclip.website/#smg2/TropicalResortGalaxy;ShareData=AQWQAUD:k?9KK|yUXX@o=wVx@Qd;cTUgw+JUFHkj+k!Z!9vwL/8;}S$T;|qeWqk noclip.website], Starshine Beach Galaxy</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Dry Bones are based on their appearance from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel, and as such once again act quite different from the game's Koopa Troopas, which walk forward oblivious to Mario. They appear alongside many [[Draglet]]s and [[Thwomp]]s in most of the castle stages. There are two visual differences: a Dry Bones' head moving upward if it is hit by a [[fireball]], and its eyes flashing red for about one second while recovering. Unlike previous appearances, Dry Bones can be defeated by [[Invincible Mario]] or [[White Tanooki Mario]] only. A boomerang from [[Boomerang Mario]] or tail whip by [[Tanooki Mario]] are two other ways a Dry Bones can break apart.

Dry Bones and [[Mega Dry Bones|Big Dry Bones]] appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Dry Bones appear mainly in tower and castle levels, but they have also appeared in non-boss levels such as [[World 6-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-A]]. Dry Bones' design is reused from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but with three small spikes added to their shells. Besides the usual Star, a Dry Bones can be defeated from a [[Gold Flower]] as well. Dry Bones react to "[[paah]]s" by dancing similarly to a [[Koopa Troopa]]. One trait is retained from ''Super Mario 3D Land'': They can crumble when hit by a tail whip.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|port]], Dry Bones do not appear, instead being replaced by a winged variety introduced in the former iteration, [[Parabones]]. However, these varieties are based on Dry Bones from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

Dry Bones in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' are based on their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and its sequels. Dry Bones were also made vulnerable to [[Wall Jump]]s, [[roll|Rolling Jump]]s, and the upward portion of [[Vaulting Jump]]s, all of which can defeat a Dry Bones permanently. Dry Bones appear in five levels: [[Bowser's Castle Hangout]], [[Cutting Edge Spire]], [[Rings of Fire!]], [[Secret Course 16]], and [[Secret Course 19]]. Unlike before, stomping a Dry Bones defeats it and earns the player [[coin]]s, but it counts to [[level up|leveling up]] only if the bones fall offscreen, either through [[roll]]ing or [[slide|sliding]] through it, by using one of the aforementioned jumps, or by being [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].

Dry Bones appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. According to a [[List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl pre-release and unused content|datamine]] of the former game, Dry Bones would have appeared as an enemy in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].
