Big Dry Bones

Super Dry Bones are larger versions of Dry Bones found in the games New Super Mario Bros. and its sequels, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Super Dry Bones are usually located in small areas where they have a good chance in harming Mario. Sometimes, a Super Dry Bones will be on a treadmill, where they can quickly walk towards Mario to attack him. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, they can be defeated if frozen with Ice Mario and then ground pounded before thawing, just as a Dry Bones can. However, this is extremely hard, as it thaws very quickly. It is also worth mentioning that it has a deeper-pitched sound when it is dismantled in the sequel.

Super Dry Bones act the same as normal Dry Bones, except Mario must do a Ground Pound over the undead creature to dismantle it. However, after about five seconds, the Super Dry Bones comes back together again. Mini Mario can not dismantle them at all, due to how little damage he does to enemies.
