History:
During a routine battle with Mario in his Castle, Bowser was knocked into a pit of lava. While normally his thick skin would have protected him, this time Bowser tried to absorb the very power of the pit around him in a last ditch effort to destroy Mario. This proved to be too much for even the Dark Koopa Lord to take on, and Bowser's soul actually passed on to the netherworld but his dark essence was able to survive and reanimate his skeletal structure similar to Dry Bones. Now a soulless monster, Dry Bowser, as he came to be known, terrorized the Mushroom Kingdom and became King of the Dry Bones. Bowser's soul was eventually able to return to a new fresh body provided through the efforts of Bowser, Jr. and Kamek. Now that Dry Bowser and Bowser exist independently of each other, they have entered in an uneasy truce, as Dry Bowser possesses much of memories and abilities of Bowser, tho twisted and demented because he survives only as the product of a Dark Magic Will.
Wii:
Dry Bowser may be the coolest racer in any Mario Kart game and he makes his appearance only in Wii, where he is a Large Class Driver. Each size class in Wii has access to Six Karts and Six Bikes, all of varying stats. Additionally, each character adds his or her own specific bonuses to certain stats. Dry Bowser is a tricky driver. His +6 Off-Road Bonus ties Toadette as the best in the game, although there are far less vehicles available for him to take advantage of. His +6 Mini-Turbo ties Wario, Dry Bones, and Koopa Troopa as the best in the game, which again, is tricky to take advantage of. His specific stats for each vehicle are as follows:
His best ride may be the Phantom, which does have a pretty decent Off-Road, making him able to snake through shortcuts with ease as well as making mistakes or accidents that send him into the rough a little more forgiving. If there's a course without this advantage though, such as Rainbow Road or Toad's Factory, either the Honeycoupe or Shooting Star with his superior Drift, Speed, and especially Mini-Turbo can be deadly.
Dry Bowser has two Staff Ghosts in Time Trials. His first and arguably signature course is Grumble Volcano, a course literally succumbing to the Lake of Lava it rests in mirrors his own twisted existence. He does a 02:28.237 in the Offroader, while the Expert switches to the Spear and goes 02:11.852. The Offroader, despite providing his great Off-Road advantage, is not nearly fast enough for Time Trials, and the Spear doesn't really take advantage of his strengths, although it is very fast. His other Ghost is on the Retro Bowser Castle 3, which has no Off-Road at all, so it robs him of that advantage. The Normal goes 02:58.304 in the Standard Kart L and the expert goes 02:39.391 in the Flame Runner. It's an exceedingly difficult course but Dry Bowser in the Flame Runner isn't the best option, play to whatever speed or handling strength you have and take him down.
