| ==History==
| | Sharkbones are skeletal shark-like creatures that 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. |

| In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and its 3DS remake, Sharkbones are 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. Their name 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>{{cite|author=Thomason, Steve|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide|page=88 and 127|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-930206-43-7}}</ref>

| 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.

|
| If the brothers perform a [[Thunder Bros.]] attack or an [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] attack on a group of Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones, any Sharkbones that are hit will immediately attack the Mario Bros., one at a time. In addition, targeting one of the underground enemies with the Advanced Thunder Bros. and [[Chopper Bros.]] attacks will reveal their identity as Luigi uppercuts them out of the ground.

| | In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Sharkbones are level 25, which makes them distinguishable from the level 24 Sand Cheeps. The easy mode hints will also show which of the enemies named "????" are Sharkbones. |
| In ''Mario & Luigi: Brothership'', Sharkbones appear in the quicksand portions of [[Allsand Island]]. The bodies of Sharkbones are now visible on the overworld, rather than just the fin. Their power has been drastically increased, encountered as a level 40 enemy with high POW, DEF, and HP, significantly higher than the other level 16-17 enemies on the same island, with their damage well exceeding Mario or Luigi's max HP and downing them in one attack. Their remaining health is hidden unlike most of the game's enemies. An NPC found just before the first Sharkbones advises Mario and Luigi to avoid them at all costs.
| |
| | |
| Sharkbones attack by sliding their fins against both Bros.; if they briefly rise above the sand they will jump over the Bro. They can also cause a tremor before rising up and biting a Bro. In pairs, the Sharkbones will repeatedly attempt to ram both Bros. while being repelled by hammer, eventually launching themselves out of the sand to attack. If they are not constantly attacked, they will eventually flee the battle, leaving no rewards.

| | |
| The sidequest [[The Fossil and the Bones]] requires the player to obtain a Sharkbone Bone from defeating a Sharkbone.
