The '''Sharkbone''' is an enemy that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its 3DS remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where it is found in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]]. The name of the enemy was originally based on [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|unused enemy name text]], which also appeared as the undead shark's name in the [[Nintendo Power]] guide.<ref>''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' [[Nintendo Power|The Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]. Pages 88 & 127</ref> The easy mode hints in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' officially refers to them as '''Sharkbones'''. | |||
Sharkbones are skeletal shark-like creatures that always appear in groups with the dorsal fin-wearing [[Sand Cheeps]]; both remain submerged up to their dorsal fin in the sands in order to disguise themselves. Both enemies are also often fought with [[Beanerang Bro]]s. | |||
==Battle== | |||
In battle, Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps appear under the name '''????'''; only their dorsal fins are visible, making it hard to tell them apart. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the tops of any Sand Cheeps present are visible for a few seconds at the start of the battle, which in turns hints at the position of any Sharkbones. They attack by swimming through the sand to stop in front of one of the Mario Bros., then surface for a moment before lunging and trying to bite their target. The attack can be dodged or countered by [[jump]]ing, and [[Poison (status effect)|poisons]] [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if they are hit. The Bros. must watch the enemies carefully to avoid jumping prematurely and hitting a leaping Sand Cheep instead. Any Sharkbones and Sand Cheeps that have attacked and were not defeated will promptly shuffle positions after their turn, making it harder to track them. | |||
If the brothers perform a [[Thunder Bros.]] attack or an [[Advanced Command|Advanced]] [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] attack on a group of Sand Cheeps and Sharkbones, any Sharkbones that are hit will immediately attack Mario and/or Luigi, one at a time. In addition, targeting one of the underground enemies with the Advanced Thunder Bros. and [[Chopper Bros.]] attacks will reveal their identity as Luigi uppercuts them out of the ground. | |||
In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', Sharkbones are level 25, which makes them distinguishable from the level 24 Sand Cheeps. The easy mode hints will also show which of the enemies named "????" are Sharkbones. | |||
