RIP, Koopa[edit]
So, wait, these ARE dead Koopas? Because in previous games they seemed to have been born that way.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wariofett4242 (talk).
- Yep. uper-Yoshi
- Yes they are dead Koopas.
aren't they in super mario world, too?[edit]
aren't dry bones in Super Mario World, also? Infectedshroom 18:35, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
Yes. -- Sir Grodus
then i'll put that in there.Infectedshroom
I added that they can be defeated permanently with the cape in SMW. It's my first edit! :) CD Santa
super Mario Galaxy[edit]
They aren't on four legs, they're leaning over lik emaybe a zombie would.
You're right, you can see that they have hands not 4 feet because they're clenched into fists.--Kamek101 09:36, 9 December 2007 (EST)
I don't think that's what he or she means, they are standing on two feet ( or hands ) and the ones in the front aren't really touching the ground, it just appears that way because dry bones is slouched. Never mind actually, I think I was the one who didn't understand what you said, well typed anyway.
Sub-Species?[edit]
I really don't think that they are. They're just Koopa Troopas who came back from the dead.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hammer (talk).
- Yeah, I think we are a bit generous around the wiki in giving the Sub-Species status to creatures. A Paragoomba, for example, is arguably a sub-species of Goomba, it can become a Goomba easily when you jump on them. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:06, 24 December 2007 (EST)
nominate[edit]
I NOMINATE THIS PAGE AS A FEATURED ARTICLE (or if im doing it wrong could some1 do it 4 me?)
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wiki443556 (talk).
Sigh. Gramurz r gud man. All caps prove n00bishness. IIRC, this article has been featured before. Using numbers instead of phrases is bad. Sign your edits.... blah blah blah.... brush your teeth.... GreenKoopa - Comments or questions?
- It has been nominated before, not featured. For how to nominate an article, please see MarioWiki:Featured articles. But please remember to give a good reason for your nomination (don't ask me what a good reason would look like), otherwise the community might decide to remove your vote. Time Questions 17:23, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
Thanks[edit]
This may be a dumb place to say this, but thanks, Sir Grodus, for the source. I was looking everywhere for it yesterday. X_X .
Am I Missing Something, Or Do I Have..........AMNESIA?![edit]
It says that chronologically, they first appeared in Partners in Time. Then the next paragraph says their true debut is in Super Mario World, which is what I thought. So, how is it that they first appeared in Partners in Time? That can't be right, can it?
- They first appeared to us in Super Mario Bros. 3, as far as I know. However, their first appearance in the history of the Mushroom Kingdom (hence the word "chronologically") was in M&L:PiT. —Soler (talk · edits · edit count) 08:07, 25 June 2008 (EDT).
Japanese Name[edit]
In japanese, karakara means bone dry, not clattering. Garagara means clattering.--Bowser the Second 00:26, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
- Go ahead and change it then. :) If you have trouble navigating the non-English names template, let us know. Stumpers! 12:36, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
Magic?[edit]

Will someone please explain to me where Dry Bones was in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games? I've searched the article ten times over yet I haven't seen the word Sonic in the whole thing except as the title of a (misplaced) navbox. I think it should be removed from that navbox and the navbox removed from the page.

Also, where is Super Mario Galaxy 2 section? I'm thinking this should be unfeatured.
Skeleton (Species)?[edit]
Is it allowed if I create a Skeleton (species) article to describe the species origin of skeleton enemies like Dry Bones and Fishbones?--Prince Ludwig 23:36, 16 June 2011 (EDT)
- Seems it's okay then. I'll try.--Prince Ludwig 15:22, 12 July 2011 (EDT)
- I suggest not, skeletons aren't really a species just meatless remains of the dead or undead. -Four Paper Heroes 15:34, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Super Mario World[edit]
Is Mario World the only game which they throw bones? --78.248.232.59 13:13, 29 March 2016 (EDT)
- Your answer would be right in this article: they throw bones in Paper Mario games, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Super Princess Peach, Mario Party DS, and Mario Party 9. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:39, 30 March 2016 (EDT)
- They also throw it in Super Mario Maker. Only in Super Mario World style.--(TALK) 20:53, 30 March 2016 (EDT)
Koopa or Koopa Troopa[edit]
Right now, the leading sentence calls Dry Bones "skeletal versions of Koopa Troopas," and they are listed as a subspecies on both Koopa Troopa's page and Koopa (species) under the Koopa Troopa section. However, right now, the infobox labels their parent species Koopa and they're not listed on Template:Koopa Troopas (despite Koopa Paratroopas being listed). So, which is it? Are they Koopas or Koopa Troopas? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 21:32, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
- Both because Dry Bowser. Note the lack of Bony Beetle in the category, I was about to ask about that myself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:43, 2 August 2017 (CT)
- For convenience's sake, let's set aside any subspecies or individual characters. If we were looking only at Dry Bones, would it be a Koopa or a Koopa Troopa? To me, the obvious answer is that Dry Bones are derived species of Koopa Troopas (never mind the oddity of a necromanced skeleton being called a species), but perhaps there's something obvious that I'm missing. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:13, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
- It would be considered a Troopa, yes. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:14, 2 August 2017 (CT)
