-{{nihongo|'''Dry Bones'''|カロン|Karon|Karon}} are a fictional species of undead koopa in [[Nintendo]]'s [[Mario]] series of video games.
-Dry Bones are the skeletal remains of [[Koopa Troopa]]s that have been re-animated; according to [[List of characters in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Goombella|Goombella]]'s Tattle in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]], Dry Bones are former [[Koopa]]s whose spirit animates its bones. They are immune to most of [[Mario]]'s attacks and will fall apart when stomped on, only to reassemble moments later. However, they can be defeated with certain special attacks (such as with the Cape Feather, Hammer Bros. Suit or Starman). Dry Bones usually prefer dark places, mainly castles, but have been known to live in other areas like the desert or sunken ships.
-==Appearances in the Mario series==
-Dry bones gets head from birdo every night and likes it in the ass hole.. he loves watching www.bangbros.com and loves to seduce women such as  Maddie, Teeny and Bridget.
-===''Super Mario World''===
-Dry Bones' later appear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] video game, ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They walked like Koopa Troopas as in past Mario titles. Early on in the game, they only walked back and forth and regenerated, but later in the game, they would gain the ability to throw bones at you. They can only be defeated by the Cape Feather or a Starman, or by knocking the block that they are standing on from underneath (provided that said block is knockable).
-Dry bones loves women
-===''Paper Mario''===
-''[[Paper Mario]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] featured Dry Bones as an enemy in Bowser's Castle. They would attack Mario by throwing bones at him, both in and out of battle. If a normal attack knocks out Dry Bones, it might revive itself a few turns later. However, a fire attack such as Kooper's Fire Shell can defeat them instantly.
-===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
-Dry Bones return in the [[Game Boy Advance]] video game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', although instead of being undead variations of the Koopa Troopa, they are undead versions of the Troopea, a bean themed Koopa Troopa. Unlike recent Mario games, Dry Bones went back to walking on all fours and attacked Mario and [[Luigi]] by throwing its head. There are two versions of Dry Bones in this game; the first is located on Hoohoo Mountain and appears to have a [[rib cage]] instead of a shell. The second version is found in Teehee Desert during Mario's second visit and looks similar to the original Dry Bones, but they can poison him if he receives a hit from its head.
-===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===
-Dry Bones reappeared in the [[GameCube]] sequel to ''Paper Mario''. ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. There are now more variants of Dry Bones, including Dull Bones, Red Bones, and Dark Bones. Dry Bones is found in the  Palace of Shadow (the final area of the game) and the Pit of 100 Trials, and fights similar to the previous ''Paper Mario'' game, but have gained the ability to build more Dry Bones. Dull Bones (the weakest version) are the victims of the Koopa-eating dragon [[Hooktail]], and as such, are commonly found inside her castle. Both Red Bones and Dark Bones are minibosses at Hooktail's Castle and the Palace of Shadow respectively.
-===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
-In the [[Nintendo DS]] sequel to ''Superstar Saga'' ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Dry Bones is an enemy inside the stomach of the [[Shroob#Yoob|Yoob]]. In this game, they stood on two feet again and threw bones at Mario and Luigi. They were also statues in the Gritzy Desert.
-===''Super Princess Peach''===
-Dry Bones reappeared in the [[Nintendo DS]] platformer ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They have the ability to throw their bones at Peach, and can only be defeated by using the Rage and Joy Vibes or using the Poundbrella attack. Like several other enemies in the game, there is a  special depressed, crying variation of the Dry Bones. It meanders forward with tears streaming from its eyes, and throws a trio of bones in one attack.
-===''New Super Mario Bros.''===
-[[Image:Nsmbbowserskeleton.jpg|right|thumb|224px|''Dry Bones Bowser'']]
-The Dry Bones' next most recent appearance is in the [[Nintendo DS]] video game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', which features two sizes of Dry Bones. The regular sized Dry Bones can be caused to fall apart by merely jumping on them, while the larger Dry Bones (called Super Dry Bones) can only be caused to fall apart by using a Ground Pound on them. As usual, they will reanimate soon afterwards. Mario can permanently defeat either by using the Mega Mushroom, Blue Shell or  Starman, or if it's dislocated head after jumping on it falls into lava or a bottomless pit.
-[[King Bowser|Bowser]] is turned into a Dry Bones-like creature after he falls into lava at the end of World 1. Mario later fights him in this form. In this form, he is similar to Dry Bones, in that he is immune to flame and can throw bones. When he jumps up to meet Mario, he collapses into a pile of bones in a similar manner to Dry Bones, before reassembling. In the final boss battle, [[Bowser Jr.]] throws the broken skeleton Bowser into a magic cauldron, causing him to come back to life.
-==Playable appearances==
-In [[2005]], Nintendo began to put Dry Bones in a playable role in many of their spinoff titles. Its first role as a playable character was in the [[GameCube]] game, ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. It was a technique character, meaning it was best used for pitching and fielding. They were also on Bowser Jr.'s team if you were to encounter him in the Challenge mode overworld.
-Dry Bones later appears in the [[GameCube]] party game, ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. It could be unlocked by collecting 1,000 mileage points and then bought at the Duty-Free Shop. Dry Bones was also Boo's partner in ''Mario Party 7''.
-Dry Bones became playable once again in the Nintendo DS racer, ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as a light weight driver. It could be unlocked by winning a gold trophy on every cup in the Nitro Grand Prix on 50cc. Its Dry Bomber kart is very good at acceleration and handling, and is unlocked upon winning the 100cc Special Cup.
-Dry Bones is set to appear again in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', as a playable sidekick like (most recently) [[Toad (Nintendo)|Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Birdo]], [[Hammer Bros.|Hammer Bro]], [[Shy Guy]], [[Monty Mole]], and [[Boo (Nintendo)|Boo]]. He is a fast character who has maximum defense. His special shot is charging the ball up with electricity.
-== Other media ==
-Dry Bones made several appearances in the [[Super Mario Bros. television series]] under ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World''.
-A talking Dry Bones is also shown to be Bowser's helicopter pilot in the [[Nintendo Comics System]] story "It's Always Fair Weather".
