Talk:Dry Bowser

Okay, where is it ever said that Dry Bowser's full name is "Dry Bone Bowser"?
 * Dunno, never heard about it either. If there's no proof, it should be removed. --Grandy02 14:08, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

I've gone ahead and removed it

Well,I know he's undead,but what proves that he's a dry bones?
 * He's a skeletal Koopa. That's a Dry Bones.

This is my absolute favorite character. He needs to be in more games.
 * And how does that help the article? 17:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I know this conversation is about a year old, but, Beecanoe, that kinda thing belongs on the forum,unless your saying that he is in more games, that we left out.And he was never called Dry Bone Bowser in any games, but it does make sense, because as Pseudo-dino said, Bowser is a Koopa, and this is a skeletal version of Bowser, thus meaning he is a skeletal Koopa, which is a Dry Bones. But his official name is Dry Bowser, so yes, it should be removed.--Smileymiley5001 11:45, 27 February 2011 (EST)

dry bowser is likely to appear in the next Super Smash Bros. no? User:Galaxymario99

Character Infobox Image
I'm kind of wondering why Dry Bowser's CSS icon from Mario Kart Wii is being used, instead of his Mario Kart Wii artwork for the infobox. I know that Dry Bowser's artwork has him with his kart, but it's the only artwork choice we have. Anyway, I just want some answers, regarding this. 23:08, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

I wonder that too.
 * We should probably change it to the artwork, even if the kart is there. It's still more descriptive than just a head-shot of him.

Dry Bowser in Super Mario 3D Land
Do we have a source that confirms he is going to appear?

Yes we do. There is a video on Youtube (which is now private) which shows the castle stage of the special world. He appears the boss there. He seems to fight the same way as the False Bowsers except that his flame is blue. I saw the video when it was still public and I can confirm that this is 100% true. Besides, the Source is in the Super Mario 3D Land page. (but it won't be of much use). User:MarioMaster720

Dry Bowser form and character
Similar to Metal Mario (there is the form and the character, I think Dry Bowser is a form and a character : in New Super Mario Bros., it is shown that Bowser becomes Dry Bowser. However, in Mario Kart Wii, Bowser and Dry Bowser are two distinct characters who can be seen together. However, I'm not sure if we should split the article because of this fact, but... 15:51, 31 December 2012 (EST)
 * I don't think there's enough distinctions to split these two. You can make a TPP about it if you're passionate.
 * I think just like you, but maybe we could write somewhere in the article that there is a form and a character, maybe just in Trivia "Oddly enough, in NSBW Bowser becomes Dry Bowser, but in MKW, we can see that they are two distinct characters." or something like this. 16:44, 31 December 2012 (EST)
 * Personally, I see Dry Bowser to Bowser like how Baby Mario is to Mario. Since at one time of his life, Bowser becomes Dry Bowser, so using some sort of time machine that Dry Bowser is able to travel to the present time during MKW and participate in races like the Babies probably would. Do you get what I mean? MarioComix (talk) 18:12, 31 December 2012 (EST)
 * That is true and I get what you mean. But then, Dry Bowser is his own article. Wasn't it before that Dry Bowser was merged with Bowser or something and split off into this article due to him being separate? I find splitting off into Dry Bowser (character) is a little redundant.
 * Miyamoto stated in an interview that the characters can have multiple personnalities, for example, Bowser keeps kidnapping Peach, but he can play football and karting with her. I think that's the same thing, it's not mainstream-canon. So, don't split. 20:11, 31 December 2012 (EST)
 * Then again, according to that logic we should merge Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, others, and Metal Mario into their respective articles.
 * Maybe we should... The "Background" section could be bigger. 10:39, 1 January 2013 (EST)

Dry Bowser's Species
Has someone changed Koopa to Dry Bones on species?
 * Yes, but I think that makes more sense because like Bowser is a Koopa Troopa, the dead version of Bowser is the dead version of Koopa Troopas, a Dry Bones. MarioComix (talk) 21:12, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Dry Bones is a character, not a species. Since Bowser is a Koopa and Dry Bowser is just a skeleton version of Bowser, then Dry Bowser should be a Koopa. Dry Bones himself is a Koopa. Why don't we put Koopa/Dry Bones under the species section instead?
 * The thing is, what a Dry Bones is, is a dead Koopa. Now that he is a dead Koopa, he is a Dry Bones. Like, if someone died they might become a ghost, instead of being a human, so this is a similar idea in which as he is dead he becomes a Dry Bones. Like how a Paragoomba becomes a Goomba when it loses its wings. MarioComix (talk) 20:49, 26 March 2013 (EDT)

Why do you keep changing this? Can't you just leave it? Jovester 🍔👢💎👔 12:52, 27 March 2013 (EDT)

You know what, forget it. You can have him a Dry Bones if you like. Jovester 🍔👢💎👔 12:53, 27 March 2013 (EDT)
