They often collapse when attacked, but they soon revive and become animate again. However, some methods of attack, such as touching them while in an [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] state, can permanently defeat them. First appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Dry Bones have since become a staple in ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games as both enemies and playable characters and have ushered a recurring theme of skeletal [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] such as [[Bony Beetle]] and [[Dry Bowser]]. Their name may come from the Biblical verses of Ezekiel 37:1-10, which describes a pile of dry bones coming back to life while making "an odd sound". | ||

Once they collapse, the Dry Bones soon revitalize themselves by reattaching their heads. If the head falls into a pit or lava, it takes longer for it to reanimate itself. If their bodies are destroyed while crumbled, the head remains for some time before eventually despawning - if they were in the process of rebuilding themselves, the head freezes in place momentarily. Finally, as in the previous platformers, they are immune to fireballs. | ||
A new variant, [[Big Dry Bones|Super Dry Bones]], is also introduced. Similarly to their smaller cousins, they can be found only in various castles and fortresses. It takes a [[Ground Pound]] to crumble them briefly, and they revive themselves as quickly as the normal Dry Bones do.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Dry Bones appear as enemies in the [[Sunken Ship]]. They guard the ship's midsection. The skeletal Koopas have an infinite amount of [[Heart Point|HP]], meaning that regular Attacks never defeat them. The only way to defeat them is with a special attack, which defeats them instantly. When defeated, they simply crumble on the overworld map. However, they always resurrect after a short amount of time and attempt to re-engage battle with Mario.

Its [[Skillshot]] is the [[Shocker (Mario Strikers Charged)|Shocker]]. After charging the ball completely, Dry Bones electrifies the ball, making the rival's [[Kritter|Goalkeeper]] or even another competitor unable to move and react briefly, freeing him up for another shot. When evading a potential opponent attack while having the ball, Dry Bones can turn around and disappear, making it almost invincible, capable of passing hazardous obstacles, such as power-ups dropped on the field or dodging the Goalkeeper's moves. However, Dry Bones cannot use its deking capabilities to pass through the electric fence; it is electrocuted, which results in losing control of the ball. The durability and effect of Dry Bones' deke depends on the light the ball is emitting. Therefore, if the light is white, Dry Bones can go further while invisible. Once Dry Bones has performed its evasion in this way, the light of the ball changes back to its lowest power. | Its [[Skillshot]] is the [[Shocker (Mario Strikers Charged)|Shocker]].

In the Wii version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', in London Party mode, Dry Bones also appear as one of the characters that can be spoken to on the map in order to play a minigame.

In the Nintendo 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Dry Bones first appears in Story Mode protecting the [[Phantasmal Fog]] alongside Dry Bowser in [[Foggy Foes]], where they intimidate Toad and [[Omochao]] before challenging Mario and Luigi to [[Sailing - 470 (Pair)]]. After their defeat, Mario and Luigi destroy the [[Fog machine]] and the pair leave before they can be questioned. Dry Bones also appears alongside several other characters for the opening ceremony. In [[The Life of a Minion]], Dry Bones appears alongside Lakitu to help set up a challenge for Bowser with [[Knuckles]] and [[Vector]], which they do by having Magikoopa transform them to look like [[Espio]] and [[Charmy]]. The pair manage to distract Knuckles and Vector for long enough so that Magikoopa can stun them, though Dry Bones almost gives them away as it only speaks with clicking sounds, and after Bowser defeats Knuckles and Vector, Dry Bones and Lakitu stay behind to calm them down. Dry Bones also appears in [[Mario's Defeat?!]], in which it distracts Bowser while [[Goomba]] is transformed to look like Mario, being ruled out itself due to the way that it speaks, and later when Goomba is being changed back. | ||
Dry Bones made its first playable appearance in the series with the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', although only in the [[BMX (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|BMX]] event. | |||

Dry Bones are undead Koopa Troopas with gray bones, dark gray shells, black eyes, yellow pupils, and pale blue shoes and gloves. A Dry Bones' shell is similarly designed to that of a Koopa Troopa's, but it is gray and features black patterns in between each shell segment. Dry Bones | Dry Bones are undead Koopa Troopas with gray bones, dark gray shells, black eyes, yellow pupils, and pale blue shoes and gloves, the latter of which notably are not worn by their living counterparts. A Dry Bones' shell is similarly designed to that of a Koopa Troopa's, but it is gray and features black patterns in between each shell segment. Dry Bones' appearance has changed often, due to receiving changes between games and media, which range from minor changes such as increased or decreased vibrancy in colors, to major alterations such as having longer or shorter limbs, and appearing as a bipedal or quadrupedal creature; however, in the GameCube era, Dry Bones' standard appearance was finalized, as with many entities - in particular, Dry Bones received its standardized design in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and the [[DIC Entertainment]] ''Super Mario'' cartoons, Dry Bones appears as a quadruped, due to standing on all fours, and never standing upright. The DIC ''Super Mario'' cartoons give Dry Bones hollow eyes, shorter limbs, and longer necks. Additionally, the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style in ''Super Mario Maker'' uses a heavily modified Koopa Troopa sprite, with the lone differences being gray skin, black eyes, and blue pupils. | ||
''Super Mario World'' is the first game to give Dry Bones an upright stance, which would be used in a multitude of subsequent installments. However, Dry Bones' ''Super Mario World'' design comes with exclusive elements not present in other games, such as white pupils, a small set of teeth, and a physically larger stature than the Koopa Troopas. Later games resize Dry Bones so they are the same height and shape as a Koopa Troopa. ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' once again depicts Dry Bones as a quadrupedal species; in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the Dry Bones in Beanbean Kingdom retain their quadrupedal stature, though their Mushroom Kingdom relatives present in the ''Minion's Quest: The Search For Bowser'' side story are shown in an upright posture, thus suggesting that Dry Bones differ depending on the region. Both ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games depict Dry Bones as bipedal creatures who stand and move in hunched postures, a feature that is reused in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and for [[Parabones]] in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''Super Mario Odyssey''. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Dry Bones' trophy has a more realistic appearance than its species' main depiction. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Dry Bones' trophy has a more monotone appearance, as well as a darker color scheme and a detailed shell. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', its trophy has a more vibrant and cartoonish appearance, as well as much less detailing. | ''Super Mario World'' is the first game to give Dry Bones an upright stance, which would be used in a multitude of subsequent installments.

In the first three ''Paper Mario'' games, Dry Bones use their ''Super Mario World'' design, but with three tufts of hair, a feature that is only present in their ''Super Mario World'' artwork. Starting from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', Dry Bones use their design from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. Additionally, ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' gives Dry Bones a pronounced paper outline. | In the first three ''Paper Mario'' games, Dry Bones use their ''Super Mario World'' design, but with three tufts of hair, a feature that is only present in their ''Super Mario World'' artwork.

Starting from the early 2000s, Dry Bones received voice acting, though it comprised of clustered bone "grunts" and "yells" provided by [[Nintendo]] sound manager and composer [[Toru Asakawa]], who also does [[King Boo]]'s voice. In contemporary games, Dry Bones receive text-based dialogue, while some games use "rattle" and "clickety-clack" sounds as speech with the translation in parentheses. ''Super Mario Party'' notably has Dry Bones' speech translated; however, unlike other games which do this, Dry Bones pauses some of its sentences with ellipses. As an earlier instance, ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' had Dark Bones pause their sentences; however, [[Dark Bones]] spoke intelligibly, as opposed to having their speech translated in parenthesis. | ||
