Gusty Gulch: Difference between revisions

A lot of Boos can be found in the area to the east of the Windy Mill, although some of them float in the sky or are usually hidden. Mario can talk to four of them in the west scene and three of them in the east scene. In addition, [[Stanley (Paper Mario)|Stanley]] in the east scene instructs Lady Bow to use [[Outta Sight]] to hide Mario during Tubba Blubba's invasion, shortly after which he is eaten. After Chapter 3, [[Herbert]] and another Boo will appear in the east scene, but it isn't clear whether the latter is Stanley or not. The following table numbers the Boos from west to east.

* "''Oh! Lady Bow! What a surprise, seeing you! You know, Your Ladyship, you really shouldn't come around here. It's dangerous. Tubba Blubba could come here at any time!''"

* "''Why, just yesterday, Lady. It was horrible... He...ugh... This time, he...ate Herbert. Oh, it was gruesome! Poor Herbert! He was so dark and depressing! What a terrific Boo!''"

* "''I heard from one of the Boos eaten by Tubba Blubba that his belly was literally packed full of ghosts for a while. He never felt full, though. Of course not. We're ghosts!''"

* "''Hi, Mario. You're looking good, as usual. You'd need to be paler if you want to be a proper ghost. Take my face, for example. It takes a lot of work, but look how pale I am! Whuh...? You've seen paler? Really...?''"

* "''He's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. He's in love with Bow. If he can occasionally see Bow, his life is complete.''"

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #2. This Boo near the [[Save Block]] is involved in one of Koopa Koot's favors which involves retrieving the [[Package (Paper Mario)|Package]].

* "''Psst! Buddy! Did you know you can walk slowly and stealthily by moving the Control Stick a little bit? You can use this technique to walk quietly and avoid waking sleeping people.''"

* "''Tubba Blubba is coming!? Oh no! Quick, hide! Aaagh!''"

* "''Can you wait a little while longer? I'm still looking...''"

* "''Thank you for waiting!♡ I finally found it. I can't believe it took me so long to track it down! Anyway, please give my regards to Koopa Koot, OK? And take care!''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Have you ever looked closely at Boos? I think they have really charming faces. Just like other creatures, there are some that are cute and some that just aren't. Which is which, though...?''"

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #3

* "''You've gotta watch out when you fight Hyper Goombas. They charge up their attack power and then unleash it. The best thing to do when they get charged up is to get Outta Sight with Lady Bow!''"

* "''You what!? You discovered Tubba Blubba's secret? And now he's chasing you!? Oh no... Oh... I've gotta hide somewhere!''"

* "''Oh. Mario, how's Lady Bow doing? She's a fine, upstanding Boo and is very delicate, so you be sure to take care of her.''" [A hidden Boo: ''Excuse me, Mario? Bleeeahhhhh!!!''] "''Oooh! Excellent! What technique! What perfect delivery! There's always something new I can learn from that guy. What a Boo master! I've got to work on my scaring skills, too!''"

* "''Hey, Mario, have you saved all of the Star Spirits yet? I wonder why I care... I don't even know if Star Spirits listen to the wishes of ghosts. I sure hope they do...''" [A hidden Boo: ''Pardon me, Mario? Broooaargh!!!''] "''Oh yeah! Another score! Boy, nobody scares people like that Boo! Wow! Such a flawless appearance! It takes my breath away. ... Actually, if we're splitting hairs, I'm a ghost so I don't actually breathe.''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. You know, Boos can't be attacked if they're invisible. Isn't that convenient? Whenever trouble appears, they can just disappear until the coast is clear again. I guess they're only in danger if they're taken by surprise.''"

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #4

* "''I had a friend who escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle the other day, and he said... 'The key to solving the secret is inside the innermost room. Pay attention to both the heart and body, and don't...' Then, just as he was finishing, Tubba Blubba ate him. I wonder what the rest of his message was...''"

* "''What? Whaaaaat? Tubba Blubba's behind you? Noooo! I don't wanna be eaten!''"

* "''My friend came back! I couldn't be happier! Now it's time to get back to scaring people senseless. I can't wait...''"

* "''Now then... What to do, what to do? Who should I scare? I want to hear people shriek and watch them run away yelling! That's what makes Boos happy. So, if you could, when a Boo scares you, try to be as terrified as possible, OK?''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. This land is totally barren. I wonder what Boos find to eat around these parts. Oh yeah. They're ghosts. I guess maybe they don't need to eat anything.''"

|-

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #5

* "''Oh. Hello. Boo, I guess. Poor effort. Sorry. I had a weird dream last night... This dream voice said... 'Sometimes you must turn and run away. You must run and run until you reach the tower with the spinning vanes.' Something like that, anyway. What could it mean?''"

* "''Stanleeeeeeeey!!! He ate Stanley! I can't believe I just saw Stanley get eaten! Oh, I'm gonna be sick... Oh, cruel destiny!''"

* "''Tubba Blubba ate up my dear, lovely Victoria...but now she's come back safely! Victoria... So coy... She's never even given me the time of day...''"

* "''Oh...sweet Victoria... Please give me a sign! You're the object of my fondest nightmares!''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Consider this: Is this place lonely because Boos make their home here, or do Boos live here because this place is lonely? .... That riddle's gonna keep me up all night.''"

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #6

* "''My friend escaped from Tubba Blubba's Castle. He claims that Tubba Blubba hides something incredibly important right next to his bed. I wonder what it could be.''"

* "''Tubba Blubba sometimes travels down to the foot of the hill. I'm sure he's doing something secretive down there, but... ...what could it be?''"

* "''Boos are saying that Tubba Blubba took off. Phew! This area will once again be a ghost paradise. Not only that... Tubba Blubba returned all the ghosts he'd eaten! And here we thought they were gone for good.''"

* "''Everyone is so crazy about the lovely Victoria. But the way I hear it, she's already got somebody specific in mind. Sigh... Love is so painful. Not all wishes can be granted, I suppose. How sad...''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Boos live in this wasted land and scare people. They also take scare-trips to Forever Forest for fun. It must be fun having nothing to do except scare people.''"

|-

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>[[Stanley (Paper Mario)|Stanley]]. He instructs the Boos to hide during Tubba Blubba's invasion, shortly after which he is eaten by Tubba Blubba.

* "''Hello there! You're going up to beat Tubba Blubba, right? Yeah! Get revenge! He'll never eat another ghost! Never! Especially not...''"

* "''Oh... Oh no! Tubba Blubba's coming! Everybody, hide!! Lady Bow! You have to hide Mario!''"

* "''Everything's cool, Lady! He can't see you! Nope, there's no way Tubba Blubba can see you right now!''"

* "''Er...''" (before being grabbed by Tubba Blubba)

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #7

* "''You know, Tubba Blubba lived in that castle for a while and was perfectly nice. It was a great place for ghosts, too. So dim and dark... But then one day he turned invincible and started acting crazy. He started eating all the Boos in the castle! It was insane! We had no choice but to flee or be eaten...''"

* "''Oh!! Stanley!! Oh, the horror of it all...''"

* "''I'm really happy that all the ghosts are back, but... with so many of us around, people might get used to us and not get scared anymore. That would be a tragedy, huh? Maybe we'd better find a quiet place with fewer ghosts so we're not so conspicuous.''"

* "''It seems like fewer and fewer people are getting lost and coming around here recently. I haven't even tried my new way of terrifying people yet. I've been practicing for ages. Maybe I should start wishing to the Stars for people to lose their way more often. Then we'll be in business.''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. Don't you think Boos have expressive faces? They must do special face exercises to be able to stretch them so much. Pulling a face muscle would hurt.''"

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>Boo #8, appears after Chapter 3 is cleared.

* "''I never thought I'd be back in dear old Gusty Gulch again. I swear, when Tubba Blubba ate me, I thought that was the end for this Boo. But now it looks like everything might work out. And now I've got a great story to tell youngsters.''"

* "''My dear Victoria has also come back safe and sound. I was desperate when she was first eaten by Tubba Blubba, that's for sure. Now I'm by her side again... What? You can't see her? Ha ha ha... Of course not! She's a ghost, Mario! I finally made up my mind. I'm going to confess my feelings for the lovely Victoria. But how to tell her... First, I figured I'd express my feelings by giving her a present like, you know... 'Here's a Fire Flower to show how hot the flame of my passion burns.' or... 'Are you shocked to know of my love? Here's a Volt Shroom.' or... ... Gaaah!! I can't decide! Which line do you think would work better?''"

* "''Victoria loves me back! We're going to get married when Lady Bow returns here! So...hurry up and come back as soon as possible, OK? Seriously! Soon!''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. It's hard to tell if they're male or female, isn't it? They should all wear bows like Bow does. That'd make it easier.''"

|-

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Herbert.png]]<br>[[Herbert]], appears after Chapter 3 is cleared.

* "''Since Tubba Blubba left, this hill seems so quiet. It's almost like a... ghost town or something. Chilling and desolate... Heh heh...♡''"

* "''I'm a ghost named Herbert. Isn't that a great name? My grandmother named me. My ancestors lived in that castle for many generations. They were great ghosts. I wanna be that great. I wanna be so scary that no one will ever forget me.''"

* "''That's a Boo who lives here in Gusty Gulch. You know, I think it's possible for a ghost to be cute and scary at the same time. It all depends on the person they're scaring. What's cute to one may be horrifying to another. This Boo doesn't look that scary. He looks too nice.''"
