Dry Bones are skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas that are mainly found in towers and castles. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, and have since become a staple in Mario spin-off games; more skeletal Koopas have since appeared in the Mario franchise, such as Bony Beetle and Dry Bowser. Dry Bones is commonly made a lightweight character in some spinoff games, and is sometimes accompanied by Boo. The emblem used by Dry Bones in some appearances is based on a profile of their head. They are voiced by Toru Asakawa.

Powers and abilities[]

Although Dry Bones, being made of skeleton, are prone to having their bodies collapse, they are capable of rebuilding it after taking damage, which occurs a few seconds after being stomped on. A Dry Bones can be permanently defeated by either touching it while invincible or by throwing a Koopa Shell at it. As of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a Dry Bones can be temporarily frozen into an ice block from an Ice Ball of Ice Mario's or Penguin Mario's and defeated by throwing it at either a wall or into the lava.

Dry Bones are invulnerable to Fireballs in the Super Mario series. Despite this, they are vulnerable to this in Hotel Mario, and in the Paper Mario series, Dry Bones are very susceptible to fire-based attacks, which are super-effective against them.
