BACKGROUND: Fishbones are undead fish that are possibly relatives of Cheep Cheeps or Blurps. They were recruited into Bowser's army and were used to guard the areas around sunken ships. Since Bowser's defeat in Dinosaur Land, they haven't been seen, suggesting they're native to that area.
EVOLUTION:
In Super Mario World they are just swimming fish skeletons. They returned in Super Mario Land 2 with much the same appearance.
In Super Mario Galaxy in addition to being 3D, they are now silver with sharp teeth and glowing red eyes.
OTHER BACKGROUND INFO:
"This finny fossil follows a straight and narrow path. He's slow but deadly if you dare to step into his territory at the wrong time." - Mario Mania
"After Mario lands two hits on the Bonefin, the behemoth calls in reinforcements. Skeletal fish rise out of a hole in the seafloor and run interference, blocking shells and zeroing in on Mario like Bullet Bills. With each additional hit, more fish swim out of the hole to cloud the waters. The school of skeleton fish follows Mario doggedly through the water. To get rid of a fish, hit it with a shell." - Super Mario Galaxy Prima Players Guide
