'''Big Dry Bones''' (originally known as '''Super Dry Bones'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 10.</ref> and also known as '''Mega Dry Bones''') are larger versions of [[Dry Bones]] that appear in some games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. They first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:SuperDryBones.png|frame|left]]
Super Dry Bones debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''; jumping on a Super Dry Bones merely stuns it for a second. While stunned, the enemy's head shakes and makes a noise. Super Dry Bones can only be dismantled with a [[Ground Pound]]; the collapsing noise they make when dismantled is low-pitched (similar to [[Dry Bowser]]). After about five seconds, the Super Dry Bones comes back together. [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]] cannot dismantle them.

Like their smaller species, they are immune to [[fireball]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Big Dry Bones in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', make a rattling sound when jumped on as opposed to the sound that normally plays when stomping on an enemy. Freezing them with [[iceball]]s has little effect, as they thaw the instant they are frozen. They are also defeated upon touching [[lava]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Big Dry Bones NSMB2 Prima.jpg|thumb|100px|Big Dry Bones in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
Big Dry Bones appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', having the same function in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They are found in some towers and castles, as well as [[World 6-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-A]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Big Dry Bones appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. However, they are no longer affected by lava. In a secret room in [[Iggy's Volcanic Castle]], the player must bounce off some Big Dry Bones that are walking on lava to access a [[Star Coin]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
Big Dry Bones also appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Players can enlarge a standard [[Dry Bones]] with a [[Super Mushroom]], which ends with the creation of a Big Dry Bones. In these games, the player can attack Big Dry Bones the same way as in past titles. When riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], the player can cause a Big Dry Bones to crumble with a simple stomp.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Big Dry Bones also appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. They appear on the third and fourth Star Stages of the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board. They give out seven [[Mini Ztar]]s.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
A Big Dry Bones, known as '''Mega Dry Bones''', appears in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' as a boss. In his minigame, [[Mega Dry Bones's Femur Fever]], players need to [[Ground Pound]] the platform they are standing on to launch a cannonball at him. Each Ground Pound lights up one light out of three. If all three are filled, a cannonball is launched. If the Ground Pound is done at the peak of their jump, then two lights are lit up instead of just one. The more allies on a player's team, the faster they can launch cannonballs. Mega Dry Bones can also attack by throwing a bone that goes through each players' platforms in a straight line starting at either Player 4 or at Player 1. When Mega Dry Bones' health bar goes past the halfway mark, the bones he throws are now on fire and he attacks more frequently.
