Appearances
New Super Mario Bros.
In New Super Mario Bros. to defeat the skeletal monster, Mario must dodge Bowser's attacks, which include breathing small flames and throwing his own bones, and wait for Bowser to make a high jump. Mario must then run under Bowser and hit the Skull Switch, breaking the bridge to bits and sending Bowser into a very deep pit. If Mario is in Shell Mario form, he can defeat him by performing the Shell Dash against him three times. As Mega Mario one stomp is enough. A very simple way is to at least have a Super Mushroom then run straight through him and hit the switch.
At the final battle of the game, the remains of Dry Bowser were thrown in a cauldron filled with special ingredients which turns Dry Bowser back into his original form, but now Bowser is larger than before, and in a way resembles Mega Mario.
Mario Kart Wii
Dry Bowser makes his first playable appearance in Mario Kart Wii. He is a Large-sized driver along with his living counterpart, Bowser. He has a more terrifying roar than Bowser in this game, mixed in with several bone rattling sounds, which make up his sound effects throughout the game. He can be unlocked by beating all new cups on 150cc with at least 1 star ranking.
Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bowser has a white alternate costume that may be loosely based off of Dry Bowser.
