Fishbones are found in the submerged [[Vanilla Fortress]] and the underwater room of [[Bowser's Castle]]. They are the only strictly aquatic dungeon enemies in the game, though terrestrial enemies are also found underwater in these levels. Their behavior is simple, traveling in straight lines across the screen in a jerky, darting motion, usually in small groups. Fishbones can be defeated by [[Cape Mario]] or Cape Luigi's spin attack, but only in the ''[[Super Mario Advance 2]]'' release, and are otherwise invincible. | Fishbones are found in the submerged [[Vanilla Fortress]] and the underwater room of [[Bowser's Castle]].
