Editing Dry Bones (section)

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 7''====
In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Dry Bones is one of two unlockable characters, the other being [[Birdo]]. The player can unlock him by spending 1000 [[Cruise Mileage Point]]s at the [[Duty-Free Shop]]. Dry Bones is partnered with [[Boo]] by default. He and Boo share a special item, the [[Magic Orb]], enabling them to roll two dice and become cloaked in invisibility, preventing other players from affecting them for a turn.

====''Mario Party 8''====
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Dry Bones returns as a playable character, but he is now among the starter characters, with [[Blooper]] and [[Hammer Bro]] being the two unlockable characters instead.

====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Dry Bones plays a larger, antagonistic role. In Story mode, Dry Bones is responsible for turning [[Donkey Kong]] into a stone monument on the [[DK's Stone Statue]] board. [[Diddy Kong]] recruits [[Mario]] and the other protagonists to stop Dry Bones.

On the board, Dry Bones is asleep inside a coffin. If a player character lands on a [[Green Space]] near the coffin, Dry Bones slams the lid of the coffin shut, sending the character backward to the start or right before the [[Star Splurge Space]].

In Story mode, once the player becomes the [[Superstar]], they must fight Dry Bones in the mini-game [[Hexoskeleton]]. In it, the player must attack Dry Bones by ground-pounding the magic switches in a certain order, which sends a disc-shaped spell onto Dry Bones. Dry Bones attacks by trying to slam the player character. After three hits, Dry Bones collapses in defeat.

====''Mario Party 9''====
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Dry Bones appear in two minigames. In the 1-vs.-Rivals minigame [[Ruins Rumble]], the solo player has to not only defeat their rivals but also three Dry Bones. In [[Smash Compactor]], Dry Bones gradually raise the crushing device to trap the characters.

On a larger scale, there is a [[Mega Dry Bones]] (also named "Dry Bones") who is the mid-boss of the [[Boo's Horror Castle]] board in Solo mode, and it is fought in the boss minigame [[Deck Dry Bones]].
