29			Dry Bones	Enemy	Some enemies just won't rest in peace! These boney Koopas will pace back and forth endlessly. When you stomp them, they'll collapse into a dusty pile. However, they will rebuild themselves a short while later. Dry Bones are immune to fire power, but you can use ice power to encase them in a cube and throw them aside.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Notebook description: "This bunch of bones was once a turtle. Stomping it will make it crumble, but it'll pop back up after a bit."

If you have a cape, it can be defeated, but even if you step on it normally and break its bones, it will revive again after a while. The Dry Bones in World also throws bones.

You're going to have to beat them all at once. Or you could use fire attacks. If they become ashes, there's no way they'll recover.

Tattle Log #: 22	Log	A skeleton Koopa that sometimes builds friends. Even after it collapses at 0 HP, it will sometimes get back up.
Tattle Log #: 22	Tattle	That's a Dry Bones. It's a former Koopa whose spirit animates its bones. Eeeeeek! That's so freaky! Max HP is 8, Attack is 5, and Defense is 2. When its HP goes down to 0, it collapses into a pile, but it'll eventually rise again. Fire and explosions will put a permanent end to it getting back up, though. A Dry Bones will sometimes build friends if it feels it's outnumbered. If you don't take them all out close together, they'll just keep coming back. Let's wipe them out all at once, and quick! These things totally freak me out!
