Big Dry Bones

Super Dry Bones is a larger version of Dry Bones found in the games New Super Mario Bros. and its sequel, New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Super Dry Bones are usually enclosed in small places, 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 Dry Bones can. However, this is extremely hard, as it thaws very quickly. Also in the sequel, it has a deeper-pitched sound when it is dismantled.

Super Dry Bones acts 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. They reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2.
