Dry Bones, duh

[Kereokacola]

Someone so common as to Dry Bones has never been mentioned... at least I think he hasn't. I remember having the idea awhile ago, but forgot to post it. Oh well, here it goes.

A common enemy in the Super Mario Bros. series is becoming much more popular these days. He was playable in Mario Party 7, Mario Kart DS and Mario Superstar Baseball (did I miss any?) I'd much rather have him as a character than a regular Koopa Troopa, because he's more original, and has more potential. This moveset I created below is seriously something I just pulled out of my ***.

B - Noggin' Swirl (Detaches his head and controls the movement as it causes aerial havoc.)
Over and B - Bone Throw (Toss a bone to do damage.)
Up and B - Scatter (For his triple jump, he scatters his bones in several counts to reach distances.)
Down and B - Fall Apart (Remember what happens when you stomp on Dry Bones? He falls apart. This would be a temporary defensive move. Opponents cannot harm you while you are scattered on the ground, but it only lasts... let's say, 5 seconds.)

Easy to accomplish. Wouldn't you all agree?

Regular Koopa Troopa would be better because his the second most recognised generic mario bad guy the most recognised being of course a goombah. Dry Bones is just some random zombie Koopa Troopa, plus Dry Bones are too generic also check the character support thread because I think there already is one.

Believe me when I say I have checked the character disc thread, and there is no link to a Dry Bones topic, because I'm 99% sure there isn't one. Anyway...

I must disagree. Koopa Troopa is no more a character than Dry Bones is. They are a species, and there will always be one you can identify with, and you can assume the one that is playable, or is a helper in a video game, they are the same character that shows up in all of the other games (example: the Dry Bones that was playable in Mario Kart DS is the same Dry Bones that was playable in Mario Party.) You really have no case there.

I think Dry Bones has more potential than Koopa Troopa. I can't recall anything special Koopa Troopa did in the past other than being knocked around in a shell. At least Dry Bones has a more unique look and feel to him, in my opinion, anyway.

Well, unless you're talking a certain Koopa troopa with more personality like one of the Paper Mario ally ones, then I see what you mean, and I agree. It seems to me that minion characters would be enjoyable to have in Smash, but they don't seem like they have much hope of making it.

If we were to have a Koopa troopa, then it'd HAVE to be King K from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door!
I can see a Dry Bones fighting style pretty interesting to see, though.
