How to Beat Dry Bones

1. Use Special Attacks to Instantly Defeat Them
2. Use Holy Water
3. Don't Use Regular Attacks
4. Their Resurrection Can't Be Prevented

Use Special Attacks to Instantly Defeat Them

Dry Bones will appear to have infinite HP, but the way to damage them and instantly defeat them is to simply hit them with any special attack. It's recommended to use the weakest ones to save FP, or the spread moves so you can defeat more than one.

List of Special Moves

Use Holy Water

Since Dry Bones are undead, using a Holy Water item will also instantly defeat them. It's not recommended though, since Holy Water are more useful against other undead enemies, and it's better to just sell the Holy Water for a good amount of coins instead.

Don't Use Regular Attacks

Dry Bones are completely immune to regular attacks, so don't use them. You'll never be able to defeat them with a regular attack.

Their Resurrection Can't Be Prevented

Once you defeat them, they'll crumble in the overworld. However, they'll resurrect after some time, ready to fight Mario again. There's no way to prevent this from happening, so just run away and avoid them after the battle.
