Strategy Against Dry Bones

When Dry Bones deconstructs itself and lies on the floor after reducing its HP to 0, make sure to use a jump attack on it to fully eliminate them.

Attack Pattern 1

Throws its head in the air and follows it as the head goes towards Mario or Luigi. Both the head and body will pass through again from the back.
How to Dodge Let the head pass above you then jump over the Dy Bones' body. Do the same when they come back.
How to Counter Jump over the head then immediately jump again to stomp on its body. Do the same when they come back.

Attack Pattern 2

Forms a row with the other Dry Bones and the Bros. One of the Dry Bones will knock its head sideways that will start a chain reaction of head switches.
How to Dodge Jump over the flying head as it passes over a Bro.
How to Counter Stomp on the flying head as it passes over a Bro.

Attack Pattern 3

Throws a series of bones at either Mario or Luigi.
How to Dodge This attack cannot be dodged.
