Other Appearances
Dry Bowser made his first appearance in the Nintendo DS game New Super Mario Bros. After a fight with Bowser at the end of World 1, Bowser would fall into a fiery lava pit that would transform his body into a mass of bones. Mario defeated Dry Bowser, and Bowser Jr. took the remains of the skeletal Koopa King and dropped them into a cauldron, which transformed Dry Bowser back to his normal self, only much larger. He also appears in Super Mario 3D Land, after beating the game and playing the special worlds.
