{{:Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam bestiary|transcludesection=Dry Bowser (Boss Battle Ring)}}

Dry Bowser makes his first appearance in the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]] as the secret boss in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He is fought at the end of the boss medley in the [[Battle Ring (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Battle Ring]] and is level 48 when encountered. He's the strongest boss in the game. His attacks involves detaching his body parts and throwing them, throwing his head off and spewing blue flames, and inhaling the brothers to regain health. He also has an attack where he summons [[Thwomp]]s to crush the bros. before spewing a torrent of flames. If all three Thwomps are countered, they will take the brunt of the flames, causing them to take turns jumping on Dry Bowser as they hop off, leaving him vulnerable. Occasionally, he'll summon a pair of [[Koopalings]] ([[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]] and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], or [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]) from portals to assist him, all of which are at level 46. When he summons the Koopalings, they behave like they do in their previous battles with two exceptions (Wendy will not attack Roy if she is hit by one of his attacks; Ludwig and Larry don't use battle cards). Both Dry Bowser and the summoned Koopaling pair must be defeated in order to end the battle. Dry Bowser is notably unique in that he has a special animation for both entering battle and being defeated.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===

Although Dry Bowser does not appear in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', his emblem appears on various usable items, such as baseball bats and soccer balls. These items can be unlocked through the use of [[List of Mario Sports Superstars amiibo cards|amiibo cards]] or by purchasing them from the in-game shop, after which they can be used by Bowser instead of his default equipment. The difference is purely aesthetic however, and makes no alteration to gameplay.
