Mega Dry Bones (originally known asSuper Dry Bones[1] and also known asBig Dry Bones) are larger versions ofDry Bones first appearing inNew Super Mario Bros.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
InNew Super Mario Bros., jumping on a Super Dry Bones merely stuns it for a second, during which it head shakes and makes a noise. Super Dry Bones can only be dismantled with aGround Pound; the collapsing noise they make when dismantled is low-pitched, similarly toDry Bowser's. After about five seconds, the Super Dry Bones comes back together.Mini Mario cannot dismantle a Super Dry Bones, and they are unaffected byfireballs.
Two Super Dry Bones appear in theWorld 1-Tower near the boss door. However, the player cannot reach them.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Big Dry Bones inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, unlike inNew 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 withiceballs has little effect, as they thaw the instant they are frozen. They are also defeated upon touchinglava.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Big Dry Bones inNew Super Mario Bros. 2 are found in some towers and castles, as well asWorld 6-A.
New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]
Big Dry Bones appear inNew Super Mario Bros. U,New Super Luigi U andNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. However, they are no longer affected by lava. In a secret room inIggy's Volcanic Castle, the player must bounce off some Big Dry Bones that are walking on lava to access aStar Coin.
Super Mario Maker series[edit]
Big Dry Bones also appear inSuper Mario Maker,Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Mario Maker 2. Players can enlarge a standardDry Bones with aSuper Mushroom, which ends with the creation of a Big Dry Bones. In theSuper Mario World style, Big Dry Bones can throw large bones, like their smaller counterparts.
In these games, the player can attack Big Dry Bones the same way as in past titles; when riding aYoshi orSpin Jumping, the player can cause a Big Dry Bones to crumble with a simple stomp. If given wings to become a Big Parabones, it will not lose them unless it's crumbled.
Mario Party series[edit]
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Big Dry Bones appear on the third and fourth Star Stages of theStar-Crossed Skyway board inMario Party: Island Tour. They give out sevenMini Ztars.
Mario Party: Star Rush[edit]
A Mega Dry Bones appears as a boss inMario Party: Star Rush, where he is fought in the minigame,Mega Dry Bones's Femur Fever. Players need toGround 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.

Names in other languages[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Since the introduction of large-sized enemies as a concept in 1988, the Japanese monikers applied to individual variants has been varied, as have the localizations of these names. Standardization occurred around 2010, after which the localized adaptations of these names have also largely been consistent with the following schemes:
- 「でか」(Deka) is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies in most of the mainlineSuper Mario series of platformers. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Big" (e.g,「でかカロン」(Deka Karon) is translated as "Big Dry Bones").
- 「巨大」(Kyodai) is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies and bosses in theMario Party series. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Mega" (e.g,「巨大カロン」(Kyodai Karon) is translated as "Mega Dry Bones"). The large Dry Bones inMario Party: Island Tour is an exception to this convention, which is referred to as「でかカロン」(Deka Karon, "Big Dry Bones").
Names in other languages[edit]
In Japanese,「でかカロン」(Deka Karon) and「巨大カロン」(Kyodai Karon) are listed together because they are both in current use. The contemporaneous localized adaptations for「でかカロン」(Deka Karon) and「巨大カロン」(Kyodai Karon) are listed first for the applicable languages and denoted as such in the "notes" column. Where there is only one contemporary localization for both names, it is listed first and the "note" column is left empty. Subsequent names are listed in chronological order for each language, from oldest to newest, and have the media with which they are associated in the "notes" column. Names exclusive to localizations of theSuper Mario Bros. Encyclopedia are not prioritized due toconcerns about circular reporting, and are only listed first for their respective languages if they are the only ones available.
