'''Skeleton Goonies'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|page=[[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128]]}}</ref> are skeletal undead versions of [[Goonie]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. Unlike normal Goonies, they cannot be ridden on, and will lose their wings and fall if this is attempted. They also fall if attacked with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. Some carry [[bomb]]s to drop on [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], similar to regular Goonies, but they never carry green [[Shy Guy]]s. Oddly enough, they have feathers even though they have skeletal wings. A flightless variety exists known as the [[Flightless Skeleton Goonie]]s.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:Skeleton Goonie.gif|frame|left]]
In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], even though they had their own level, World 6-1: [[Scary Skeleton Goonies!]], Skeleton Goonies debuted in the first skiing part of World 5-3: [[Danger - Icy Conditions Ahead]]. They also appear in the opening segment of [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]].

====''Yoshi Touch & Go''====
They appeared in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'' where they behaved like their non-skeletal counterparts, flying in the top screen, sometimes dropping bombs and Shy Guys. Hitting them with an egg rewards a [[Blue Coin]].

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
They also appear in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' and ''Yoshi's New Island'' with little to no differences in behavior or physical appearance. In the former, due to them using sprites edited from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' while Goonie uses sprites edited from ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', Skeleton Goonies are conspicuously smaller than ordinary Goonies.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:YNI Skeleton Goonie.png|thumb|left]]
They appear in ''Yoshi's New Island'', where they appear in [[Bowser's Castle Break-In]].

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Skeleton Goonies as well as Flightless Skeleton Goonies also make a cameo appearance, though not as an enemy, in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They appear in the background of the [[Wavy Beach]] minigame in the level where [[Gooper Blooper]] is fought.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:WoollySkeletonGoonieHQ.png|thumb|A Skeleton Goonie in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
They appear in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' in three levels: [[Kamek's Last-Ditch Flyby]], [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]], and [[Skeleton Goonies' Lava Lair]]. Like most other elements in the game, Skeleton Goonies have a woolly appearance.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Despite not reappearing in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' as enemies, Skeleton Goonies cameo as platforms in [[Poochy's Magma Run]] and background elements in the first phase of [[The Great King Bowser (level)|The Great King Bowser]].
