Despite this, they are often larger than living Cheep Cheeps, and they have completely different tail fins. In later games, they take on torpedo-like qualities.

Wii]]''; they appear in {{world-link|4|castle|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} and {{world-link|5|ghosthouse|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. Also, in the battle against [[Wendy O. Koopa]] in {{world|4|castle}}, various Fish Bones can be seen swimming in a water tank in the background. Fish Bones have a newly introduced attack pattern where if it detects one of the characters, it will lock on to them (as their eyes turn red) and launch themselves in the direction of the character. If it misses and hits a wall or another Fish Bone, it will crash and break apart in a similar manner to that of [[Dry Bones]] (the sound effect is longer if it hits another Fish Bone). However, once they break apart, they will reappear if the player goes far enough offscreen. Fish Bones can be permanently defeated with [[Ice Ball]]s, a thrown object, or a [[Super Star|Star]]. Fish Bones will stop following a player that jumps out of the water; the player can also dodge them by walking on the floor and ducking once spotted, which turns the Fish Bone's eyes back to normal and stops the chase. In dark caverns, their eyes light up, although the illuminated area around them is much smaller than that provided by [[Bulber]]s and thus far less useful.

Fishbones reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they keep their design and attack pattern from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''Super Mario World''. They appear in three levels: {{world-link|3|towern2|World 3-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, {{world-link|star|3|World Star-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}, and {{world-link|star|6|World Star-6 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}. In this game, Fishbones do side flips when a vocal riff "[[paah]]" is heard, similar to [[Cheep Cheep]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U''====

Fish Bones reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', retaining the same design and attack pattern from their previous appearance. They appear in [[Haunted Shipwreck]] and [[Deepsea Ruins]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they appear in [[Haunted Cargo Hold]] and [[Deepsea Stone-Eyes]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===

====''Mario Kart 7''====

Fish Bones make their first ''Mario Kart'' appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and take their design from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They are found in [[3DS Wario Shipyard|Wario Shipyard]], where they swim in schools or sometimes alone. Drivers that collide with Fish Bones will simply lose some speed.

 

Fish Bones also appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in the underwater section of [[Twisted Mansion]]; unlike in ''Mario Kart 7'', however, drivers cannot interact with them. As {{classic|N64|Choco Mountain}} returns in this game, the different sized Fish Bones on the walls of the falling boulder section do as well. They also appear in {{classic-link|GBA|Boo Lake}} and [[Piranha Plant Cove]] during the underwater section.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', several Fish Bones of different sizes can be seen in the walls in the falling boulder section of [[N64 Choco Mountain]]. Fish Bones also appear as obstacles in the returning course 3DS Wario Shipyard and are added in [[GBA Boo Lake]], where interacting with them in any way causes them to collapse and give points.

A [[Mii]] Racing Suit and two karts based on Fish Bones, both of the latter being called the [[Fish Bone Ferry]] and the [[Gold Fish Bone Ferry]], all debut in the [[Night Tour]].

====''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''====

Fossilized Fish Bones can be found in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'' in the [[Mario Cup]] (added in the version 1.1.0 update), similarly as to how they appear in ''Mario Kart Tour''. They appear on the gates in [[Fossil Fields]].
