So, real bones can be burned, like in cremation and all. I've noticed that in the older games, Dry Bones are immune to fireballs, but in the RPG games, fire is their weakness. I wonder why they were immune to fire in the first place?

They were probably immune to fire in the first place because aren't dry bones assumed to be koopas that fell into lava or something? I mean that's how dry bowser came to be, and the lava really didnt seem to do much to his bones.

Aren't the Paper Mario RPGs made by a separate company? I'm pretty sure drybones weren't weak against fire in the other RPGs.

I think you're right PDoogan, it looks like it's only in the Paper Mario series that they are specifically weak against fire. I remembered defeating the ones in SMRPG with fire, but they're just weak against all special attacks.
And nice theory, kingkoopa, although researching this just brings up more questions... like, Kolorado's dad basically just died from being trapped and rotted I guess, but he's not "alive" like the other Dry Bones? And he's just collapsed, not burned up or smashed or anything. What happens when Koopas die? Do they simply die, disappear as a spirit forever and turn to bones? And *points to quote in signature* the ones that are alive are just dead koopas enchanted by Bowser or someone else's dark magic?
Man, this reminds me of when I wondered what boos are and where they come from... but I'll save that for another topic.
