Editing Spine Coaster

'''Bonecoasters''' are rideable creatures made of bone used to aid [[Mario]] and company pass through the [[lava]] pits, [[Toxic Water]] pools, or reach far away places. 

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
[[File:8-7nsmbwii.png|200px|thumb|[[Mario]], riding the '''Bonecoaster''' in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
They first appear only in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 8-7|World 8-7]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a stage that can be unlocked by finding the secret exit in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 8-2|World 8-2]]. It also appears in multiplayer versus mode.

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.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Mii''===

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.

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

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]].

===''New Super Mario Bros. 2''===
[[File:NSMB2 Bonecoaster.png|thumb|left|A Bonecoaster in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
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. Bonecoasters are also featured on Course 3 of the [[Platform Panic Pack]] in the game's downloadable [[Coin Rush]] course packs. Bonecoasters were also in Course 3 of the [[Coin Challenge Pack#Coin Challenge C|Coin Challenge C]] DLC, although they were noticably missing the characteristic head.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U''===
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Bonecoasters appear in [[Rock-Candy Mines]] level [[Thrilling Spine Coaster]], a course that is similar to the world shown in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Mii]]'', and in the [[Superstar Road]] course, [[Spine-Tingling Spine Coaster]]. Bonecoasters and Bonecoaster tracks also appear on the world map, and can be used to travel.

==Trivia==
*"Bonecoaster" is a combination of the words "bone" and "roller-coaster".
*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.
*''New Super Mario Bros. U'' indirectly calls the Bonecoasters ''Spine Coasters''.
