Big Dry Bones

Big Dry Bones (called Super Dry Bones in some strategy guides) are larger versions of Dry Bones that have appeared in all four of the New Super Mario Bros. games.



Jumping on a Big Dry Bones will merely stun it for a second. While stunned, the enemy's head will shake and will make a noise. Big Dry Bones can only be dismantled with a Ground Pound; the collapsing noise they make when dismantled is low-pitched. After about five seconds, the Big Dry Bones comes back together. Mini Mario cannot dismantle them.

Like their smaller species, they are immune to the powers of Fire Flowers. The Big Dry Bones is also highly resilient to being frozen by ice balls, as they'll break free from the ice the instant they're frozen.

Big Dry Bones also appear in Mario Party: Island Tour. They appear on the second and third Star Stages of the Star-Crossed Skyway board. They give out seven Mini Ztars.
