Talk:Dry Bones

RIP, Koopa
So, wait, these ARE dead Koopas? Because in previous games they seemed to have been born that way.
 * Yep.

aren't they in super mario world, too?
aren't dry bones in Super Mario World, also? Infectedshroom 18:35, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Yes. -- Sir Grodus

then i'll put that in there.Infectedshroom

I added that they can be defeated permanently with the cape in SMW. It's my first edit! :) CD Santa

super Mario Galaxy
They aren't on four legs, they're leaning over lik emaybe a zombie would.

You're right, you can see that they have hands not 4 feet because they're clenched into fists.--Kamek101 09:36, 9 December 2007 (EST)

I don't think that's what he or she means, they are standing on two feet ( or hands ) and the ones in the front aren't really touching the ground, it just appears that way because dry bones is slouched. Never mind actually, I think I was the one who didn't understand what you said, well typed anyway.

Sub-Species?
I really don't think that they are. They're just Koopa Troopas who came back from the dead.
 * Yeah, I think we are a bit generous around the wiki in giving the Sub-Species status to creatures. A Paragoomba, for example, is arguably a sub-species of Goomba, it can become a Goomba easily when you jump on them. - 08:06, 24 December 2007 (EST)

Thanks
This may be a dumb place to say this, but thanks, Sir Grodus, for the source. I was looking everywhere for it yesterday. X_X

Am I Missing Something, Or Do I Have..........AMNESIA?!
It says that chronologically, they first appeared in Partners in Time. Then the next paragraph says their true debut is in Super Mario World, which is what I thought. So, how is it that they first appeared in Partners in Time? That can't be right, can it?


 * They first appeared to us in Super Mario Bros. 3, as far as I know. However, their first appearance in the history of the Mushroom Kingdom (hence the word "chronologically") was in M&L:PiT. — 08:07, 25 June 2008 (EDT).

Japanese Name
In japanese, karakara means bone dry, not clattering. Garagara means clattering.--Bowser the Second 00:26, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
 * Go ahead and change it then. :) If you have trouble navigating the non-English names template, let us know. 12:36, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

Magic?
Ok. Mario Party DS Said Dry Bones Turned Donkey Kong to stone with MAGIC! Since when did Dry Bones Learn MAGIC? I mean he didn't have magic in any other game! - User: Thirsty for Power


 * Dry Bones' trophy explains that it was learned from Kamek. 20:26, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

And, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't they have magic in Mario RPG? User: Mecha-Boss Unit


 * The boss Dry bones used magic in Mario party DS. I'm pretty sure Kamek was comanding/controlling him. Dry & Dull bones both might use magic in the Paper mario series to bring back partners. Also, aren't their bones held together by magic? I mean there aren't Dry Goombas... It has to be Kamek! -

That Explained a Bunch. Thanks! but woulbn't it be cool if there WERE dry goombas? User: Mecha-Boss Unit
 * There were Zombie Goombas

Excuse me
Will someone please explain to me where Dry Bones was in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games? I've searched the article ten times over yet I haven't seen the word Sonic in the whole thing except as the title of a (misplaced) navbox. I think it should be removed from that navbox and the navbox removed from the page.

P.S.Sorry about the sig problems, I've fixed it-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 00:10, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Also, where is Super Mario Galaxy 2 section? I'm thinking this should be unfeatured.

Skeleton (Species)?
Is it allowed if I create a Skeleton (species) article to describe the species origin of skeleton enemies like Dry Bones and Fishbones?--Prince Ludwig 23:36, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Seems it's okay then. I'll try.--Prince Ludwig 15:22, 12 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I suggest not, skeletons aren't really a species just meatless remains of the dead or undead. - Four Paper  Heroes  FourPaperHeroes.jpg 15:34, 12 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I agree with Four Paper Heroes
 * Just when anybody would really agree with me, especially you Goomba's Shoe15? Hmph. Whatever. If that's the case, let's not do it until the time is right.--Prince Ludwig 18:28, 12 July 2011 (EDT)
