==History==

===''Super Mario'' series===

====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====

[[File:Fish Bone SMW sprite.png|frame|left]]

Fishbones are found in the submerged [[Vanilla Fortress]] and the underwater room of [[Bowser's Castle]]. They are the only strictly aquatic dungeon enemies in the game, though terrestrial enemies are also found underwater in these levels. Their behavior is simple, traveling in straight lines across the screen in a jerky, darting motion, usually in small groups. Fishbones can be defeated by [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] or Caped Luigi's spin attack, but only in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Super Mario Advance 2]]'', and are otherwise invincible.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Fish Bones reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and are now completely separate from Dry Bones. Thus, they can now be placed on land. Parachutes can also be attached to them. However, they fall apart whenever they touch the ground. If they reach the surface of the water from below, they break apart. If placed in a [[Koopa Clown Car]] or on [[track]]s, they can exist above water. In the nighttime sky and airship themes, Fish Bones are able to swim in the air, and can be defeated with a stomp. They also appear in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style despite not appearing in the source game itself.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===

===''Super Mario Adventures''===

In the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, Fishbones, along with several other creatures such as [[Urchin]]s and [[Porcupuffer|Porcu-Puffer]]s, are shown to act as guards/obstacles in the moat surrounding the [[Koopalings]]' tower.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===

Although no Fish Bones appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', there are rock carvings with images of Fish Bones in [[Driftwood Shore]].

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===

Fish Bones make their ''[[Dr. Mario (series)|Dr. Mario]]'' series debut in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. In stage mode, they have a chance in increasing capsules by 2 when there are no more capsules left and no further moves could be made. The activation will be checked again when it didn't activate earlier but the condition is met again, but after the effect is activated it will not activate again in the stage. In versus mode, it grants a chance in defending against four-line attacks, which does not stack with the doctor's innate defense. They also appear on [[World 19 (Dr. Mario World)|World 19]] alongside Dry Bones when an area is cleared of viruses.

''A fish that has turned into a skeleton. Is it the ghost of Cheep Cheep (p. 190)? This fish sometimes stops for a moment, rests, and then moves on. It is impossible to defeat it, but it swims straight to the left and right, so just avoid it.''
