====''Paper Mario''====

Dry Bones reappear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in [[Bowser's Castle]] when [[Bowser]] captures [[Princess Peach]] and [[Princess Peach's Castle|her castle]]. Dry Bones only appear in Bowser's Castle in the game, protecting the upper regions of the castle from [[Mario]] and his partners. They are a relatively powerful enemy, as they appear about halfway through the Castle. This variation of Dry Bones is able to walk upright and throw bones at Mario. They are also capable of building more of themselves, with the same amount of HP as the original unit. They regenerate themselves if all their [[Heart Point|HP]] is taken, but can be permanently defeated with flames or explosions, which they are immune to in previous game. In this game, fire and explosions are extremely effective against Dry Bones. Player can use [[Kooper]]'s [[Fire Shell]] or [[Bombette]]'s explosions to defeat them easily.

====''Super Paper Mario''====

''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' once again features Dry Bones. When stomped, Dry Bones collapse, but come back very quickly, much like previous platformer games. Like in previous ''Paper Mario'' games, it throws bones at [[Mario]] and company. Dry Bones are found in [[The Underwhere]] and the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] in this game.

A stronger variety can be found in [[Teehee Valley]], which is also known as [[Elite Dry Bones|Dry Bones]] in English, but named differently in other languages. This Dry Bones has a shell, unlike the one in Hoohoo Mountain. In the remake, these became known as Elite Dry Bones.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====

Later in the game, large Dry Bones statues appear in [[Gritzy Desert]]. When these are encountered, the player has to split the babies and the adults. After doing this, they have to hit four blocks within ten seconds of each other. There are two pairs of blocks in the desert, and once the two pairs are hit, a hidden door to the [[Koopaseum]] opens.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====

In the game, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', some Dry Bones are seen in the [[Fawful Theater]]. One is in the lobby of the building, and the rest attend [[Fawful]]'s show. There are also two Dry Bones standing in the watchtowers of Bowser's mechanized castle during Bowser's fight against it.

Three Dry Bones also appear in the minigame [[Ruins Rumble]]. Despite being non-playable characters, they and the player's opponents must be defeated in order to win the minigame. They also have an appearance in the minigame [[Smash Compactor]], in which they raise the compactor after each round. During the introduction to the minigame, a Dry Bones may also appear on top of the compactor.

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

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===

Dry Bones's first appearance in the ''Mario and Sonic'' series was ''[[Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' as [[Wii]]-exclusive referees.

In the follow-up, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', they appear as rivals. On the Wii, three of them appear along with [[Dry Bowser]] as the final rivals in Festival Mode in the event [[Ice Hockey (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games)|Ice Hockey]] on the last day. Dry Bowser is the goalie and there are three Dry Bones as the field players. Also in the Wii (Team Festival Mode) and in the DS Version, they appear without Dry Bowser in the event [[Curling]] with four Dry Bones instead of three.

Dry Bones also appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. It is the rival of [[Table Tennis]] in London Party Mode, and later, Dream Hurdles. When the player defeats it, they'll win a sticker. It's also one of the characters that can be spoken to.

Dry Bones is the dead version of [[Koopa Troopa]]. He is most likely a skeleton because he fell in [[lava]], because he only appears in Bowser Castle's in Super Mario Bros. games. But anyway, he has the same shape as Koopa Troopa, but is a white/grayish color, due to all his bones. He wears white gloves and boots. Very fashionable, right? His shell is all pale and cracked up, and his torso is his rib cage. He also has sharp teeth, and instead of white, lively eyes, he has gaping black eyes with yellow pupils. Ohh, scary. Outside of the Mario Kart series, a variation called "[[Parabones]]" can be seen, it's a Dry Bones, but with wings, this variation only appears in 3D games, the normal and winged Dry Bones never appear in the same games besides ''Super Mario Maker''.
