'''Spine Coasters''' are rideable creatures made of bone used to aid [[Mario]] and company to pass through [[lava]] pits or [[poison (obstacle)|poison]] pools or to cross long gaps. As their name suggests, they move along a track in a similar fashion to a roller coaster. They first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
[[File:NSMBW World 8-7 Screenshot.png|200px|thumb|[[Mario]], riding a Spine Coaster in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
Spine Coasters appear in [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-7]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a stage that can be unlocked by finding the secret exit in [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]]. It also appears in multiplayer versus mode. Spine Coasters are the only method of transportation throughout the level, and they often make risky maneuvers, passing through lava geysers and into the lava itself. Players must time their jumps to avoid coming in contact with the lava and losing a life. Spine Coasters can stand the weight of the Mario Bros. and both [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Toad]]s on it. However, if all characters perform a [[Synchro Ground-Pound|simultaneous ground pound]], it will fall and they lose a life each.


===''Super Mario 3D Land''===

Bonecoasters are very useful throughout World 8-7 because they help Mario and his friends get the [[Star Coin]]s in this stage and also prevent them from falling into the lava. However, the Bonecoasters often make risky maneuvers, passing through lava geysers and into the lava itself. Bonecoasters can stand the weight of Mario, [[Luigi]], and both [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s on it. However, if all characters perform a simultaneous [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], it will fall. Also, Bonecoasters cannot hurt any character.
Spine Coasters later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are only found in {{world-link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 2}} 2. Their design has changed into a broader, three-dimensional figure. The skull has protruding eye sockets and horns, and its maw is wide and blunt (as opposed to the narrow and pointed maw from the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design), to match with the coaster's wider figure. This alternate design for the skull somewhat resembles the thumb and bucket of an excavator, as well as the skull of a [[Dry Bones]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
[[File:Bonecoaster in action.png|thumb|200px|A Bonecoaster, as seen in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Spine Coasters appear in two levels: the [[Rock-Candy Mines]] level [[Thrilling Spine Coaster]], a course similar to the world shown in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]'', and the [[Superstar Road]] course, [[Spine-Tingling Spine Coaster]]. Spine Coasters and Spine Coaster tracks also appear on the world map, and can be used to travel between [[Frosted Glacier]] and [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', besides reprising their role on the world map, Spine Coasters appear in the levels [[Spine Coaster Stowaways]] and [[Spine Coaster Connections]].
Bonecoasters have also appeared in the [[Wii U]] demo ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]'' shown at E3 2011. One is seen in a dark cavern that is filled with poison water, carrying Mario and friends once again.


Spine Coasters reprise the aforementioned roles in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.
Bonecoasters later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. However, they only make the appearance in {{world|8|bowser}} 2. Their design has changed into a three-dimensional figure. They also somewhat resemble [[Dry Bones]].


===Other appearances===

Bonecoasters once again appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though they act more like [[Skull Raft]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Two Bonecoasters only appear in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)#World 6-2|World 6-2]], where they sail along the lava. Once a Bonecoaster has reached its stop, Mario or Luigi can ground pound its head to make it spit out a large amount of coins, or even a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. A little detail was added in this game where the eyes glowed every time a vocal riff was heard.
Spine Coasters have also appeared in the [[Wii U]] demo ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]'' shown at E3 2011. One is seen in a dark cavern that is filled with poison, carrying Mario and friends once again.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The Spine Coaster somewhat resembles a [[Bone Dragon]], but its head is smaller and there are no spikes on its back.
*"Bonecoaster" is a combination of the words "bone" and "roller-coaster".
*Whenever the Spine Coaster goes fast, especially on a slope, it lets out a dinosaur-like roar. The Spine Coasters in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' make a different noise.
*The Bonecoaster somewhat resembles a [[Bone Dragon]], but its head is smaller in size, and there are no spikes on its back.
 
*Whenever the Bonecoaster goes fast, especially on a slope, it lets out a dinosaur-like roar. A single Bonecoaster may let out multiple roars during a ride. The Bonecoasters in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' make a different noise.
