Dr. Mario World has grown yet again and its latest addition is one of the most bizarre we’ve seen to date.
Players can obtain Dr. Dry Bowser as a playable character in the mobile puzzle game, either through completing a special stage (alongside stages 381 – 400) or purchasing him as part of a bundle with 260 Diamonds for 2,440 yen.
About Dry Bowser
Dry Bowser is the undead and skeletal version of Bowser, with his English name playing off of Dry Bones. Despite not technically being one himself, he is closely associated with them and shares several traits with the species, like an immunity to fireballs.
He made his debut in New Super Mario Bros., where he ascended as the result of Mario defeating Bowser by dropping him into lava at the end of New Super Mario Bros.’s first castle. Unlike previous occasions, the lava reduced the once-mighty king to a skeleton, leaving his son, Bowser Jr., temporarily in command of the Koopa Troop. Dry Bowser is then fought in the first castle in World 8.
And after diving into Dry Bowser’s background.. it’s an ironic character to add to Dr. Mario World, seeing as he’s a non-living creature who has to act as a doctor. Well … I would prefer my doctor to be alive.
