Dry Bones: Difference between revisions

'''Dry Bones''' are skeletal versions of [[Koopa Troopa]]s 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; mo skeletal [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] have since appeared in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, such as [[Bony Beetle]] and [[Dry Bowser]], . They are voiced by [[Toru Asakawa]].

 

Dry Bones often collapse when attacked, but they soon revive themselves and become normal once again; some methods of attack can still permanently defeat them. Dry Bones is commonly made a lightweight character in some spinoff games, and is sometimes accompanied by [[Boo]]. Yhe emblem used by Dry Bones in some appearances is based off a profile of their head.  

Dry Bones' debut is in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Dry Bones can be stomped on the head and turned into a pile of bones; however, they soon regenerate. Unlike normal [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s, Dry Bones is immune to the tail of [[Raccoon Mario]] and the fireballs of [[Fire Mario]] but can be defeated with a [[Star]] or the rare [[Hammer Suit]]. Dry Bones appear most prominently in the multiple [[Fortress]]es of the game, where they often accompany [[Boo]]s and [[Thwomp]]s. The first level that they appear in is [[World 1-Fortress]]. It is also the only appearance of Dry Bones on the [[NES| Nintendo Entertainment System]].
