The '''Sharkbone''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Nintendo 3DS version]] They are skeletal shark-like creatures encountered in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], and they always appear in groups with the dorsal fin-wearing [[Sand Cheep]]s; both remain submerged up to their dorsal fin in the sands in order to disguise themselves. Both enemies are also often fought with [[Beanerang Bro]]s. Sharkbone's was originally based on [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|unused enemy name text]], and it also appeared as the undead shark's name in the [[Nintendo Power]] guide.<ref> | The '''Sharkbone''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Nintendo 3DS version]] They are skeletal shark-like creatures encountered in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], and they always appear in groups with the dorsal fin-wearing [[Sand Cheep]]s; both remain submerged up to their dorsal fin in the sands in order to disguise themselves.

In battle, Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps appear under the name '''????'''; only their dorsal fins are visible, making it hard to tell them apart. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the top of any Sand Cheeps present will be visible for a few seconds at the start of the battle. This, in turn, hints at the position of any Sharkbones. They attack by swimming through the sand to stop in front of one of the Mario Bros., then surface for a moment before lunging and trying to bite their target. The attack can be dodged or countered by [[jump]]ing, and [[Poison (status effect)|poisons]] [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if they are hit. The Bros. must watch the enemies carefully to avoid jumping prematurely and hitting a leaping Sand Cheep instead. Any Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps that have attacked and were not defeated will promptly shuffle positions after their turn, making it harder to track them. | In battle, Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps appear under the name '''????'''; only their dorsal fins are visible, making it hard to tell them apart.
