'''Fishing Boos''' (alternatively '''Fishin' Boos''') are ghostly [[Fishin' Lakitu]]s that ride a cloud without a face. They attempt to hit the player character with a blue flame at the end of their fishing lines. The name "Fishin' Boo" was localized from an early Japanese name, "Fishing Telesa".<ref>TCRF.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
{{multiframe|[[File:Fishing Boo SMW sprite.png]] [[File:SMA2 Fishin Boo sprite.png]]|A Fishin' Boo in the original ''Super Mario World'', shown left, and in the Game Boy Advance remake, shown right|align=left|size=180|bg=lightgrey}}
Fishin' Boos debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They carry a fishing rod and ride a cloud similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]] but without a face. Also, instead of a [[1-Up Mushroom]], Fishin' Boos carry a blue flame and follow the player in a way that makes it hard for them to [[jump]]. They have the same immunities as a normal [[Boo]] and therefore can only be [[Spin Jump]]ed on. Their sprite depicts their hair as light blue, instead of black, possibly to make it distinguishable from the background.

The [[Choco-Ghost House]] is the only level to feature a Fishing Boo.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Fishing Boos reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as of the version 3.0.4 update, where they are found in the level [[Fishing Boo Taunts You]]. Although they are still found carrying harmful blue flames, they can also carry items such as [[Super Mushroom]]s, [[coin]]s, [[color coin]]s, and [[Super Star]]s. In this game, despite the flames they carry, the enemies themselves are completely inoffensive, and can be defeated with a [[stomp]] attack, which reveals that they appear to be wearing sheets and brown shoes. Due to using 3D models, their turning animations are much smoother than before, making the flame's movement more predictable.

===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
A Fishin' Boo makes another appearance in the ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'' version of ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'', where they appear as the fourth non-player opponent in the game's VS. Mode if the player plays on the Hard difficulty.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Fishing Boos also make an appearance in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and a [[Calm|calmer]] variety called [[C. Fishing Boo]] also appears. Both types reside in [[Shriek Mansion]] on [[Vibe Island]], and only [[Rage]] can defeat them. 

===Unused appearances===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Fishing Boos were also likely [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content| going to appear]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', as an unknown object was named similar to Fishing Boo, but the idea was scrapped.
