'''Mega Dry Bones''' (originally known as '''Super Dry Bones'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|date=May 15, 2006|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3|page=10}}</ref> and also known as '''Big Dry Bones''') are larger versions of [[Dry Bones]] first appearing in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', jumping on a Super Dry Bones merely stuns it for a second, during which it head shakes and makes a noise. Super Dry Bones can only be dismantled with a [[Ground Pound]]; the collapsing noise they make when dismantled is low-pitched, similarly to [[Dry Bowser]]'s. After about five seconds, the Super Dry Bones comes back together. [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] cannot dismantle a Super Dry Bones, and they are unaffected by [[fireball]]s.

Big Dry Bones in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', make a rattling sound when jumped on as opposed to the sound that normally plays when stomping on an enemy. Freezing them with [[iceball]]s has little effect, as they thaw the instant they are frozen. They are also defeated upon touching [[lava]].

Big Dry Bones in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' are found in some towers and castles, as well as [[World 6-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-A]].

Big Dry Bones appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. However, they are no longer affected by lava. In a secret room in [[Iggy's Volcanic Castle]], the player must bounce off some Big Dry Bones that are walking on lava to access a [[Star Coin]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====

Big Dry Bones also appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Players can enlarge a standard [[Dry Bones]] with a [[Super Mushroom]], which ends with the creation of a Big Dry Bones. In the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, Big Dry Bones can throw large bones, like their smaller counterparts.

 

In these games, the player can attack Big Dry Bones the same way as in past titles; when riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] or [[Spin Jump]]ing, the player can cause a Big Dry Bones to crumble with a simple stomp. If given wings to become a Big Parabones, it will not lose them unless it's crumbled.

Big Dry Bones appear on the third and fourth Star Stages of the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. They give out seven [[Mini Ztar]]s.

A Mega Dry Bones appears as a boss in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', where he is fought in the minigame, [[Mega Dry Bones's Femur Fever]]. Players need to [[Ground Pound]] the platform they are standing on to launch a cannonball at him. Each Ground Pound lights up one light out of three. If all three are filled, a cannonball is launched. If the Ground Pound is done at the peak of their jump, then two lights are lit up instead of just one. The more allies on a player's team, the faster they can launch cannonballs. Mega Dry Bones can also attack by throwing a bone that goes through each players' platforms in a straight line starting at either Player 4 or at Player 1. When Mega Dry Bones' health bar goes past the halfway mark, the bones he throws are now on fire and he attacks more frequently.
