'''Dry Bowser''' is the undead and skeletal version of [[Bowser]], with his name playing off of [[Dry Bones]]. Despite not technically being one himself, he is closely associated with them and shares several traits with the species, like an immunity to [[fireball]]s. He made his debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where he ascended as the result of [[Mario]] defeating Bowser by dropping him into [[lava]] at the end of ''New Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s first castle. Dry Bowser is then fought in the first castle in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bowser becomes Dry Bowser when he falls into lava after being defeated in [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]]. He later appears as the boss of {{world-link|8|castlen|World 8-Castle}}; here, Dry Bowser appears in a room at the end, where drops in from the ceiling and falls apart, before reassembling and beginning to fight Mario. To defeat Dry Bowser, Mario must dodge his attacks, which includes breathing small flames and throwing his own bones. Mario can wait for Dry Bowser to make a high [[jump]] and then run under him, or precisely jump over him. Then Mario can hit the [[skull switch]], destroying the bridge and throwing him into a very deep pit; when he finally hits the ground, his whole body falls apart. Like Dry Bones, Dry Bowser is fireproof, so [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs do not have any effect against him.

Dry Bowser reappears in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' as the game's final playable character to be released. He was initially unlocked by participating in the July 2019 tournament, and has been available for all players since August 1, 2019. Like his previous appearances in the ''Mario Tennis'' series, he is a Defense-type character. Uniquely, his racket does not take damage when he fails to block a [[Zone Shot]]; however, it will still break if he fails to block a [[Special Shot]].<ref>[https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29137/p/897 How to Update Mario Tennis Aces]</ref> He shares his animations with Bowser, albeit with blue fire instead of red fire; this includes his [[Trick Shot]]s and Special Shot. However, his sideways Trick Shot (Shell Spin) is unique in that it always functions like a slice with maximum charge. Dry Bowser's emblem also appears on "Ultra Drink" advertisements in [[Marina Stadium]].
