Balloon Boos[1] are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. They are Big Boos with pink cheeks, and their tails resemble balloon knots, akin to their name. They are encountered only in World 4-
Ghost House, which contains five of them. They appear large at first, but when looked away from, they approach the player while expelling air and shrinking; otherwise, they stop and inflate by inhaling air at a rather slow rate, until they have assumed their massive appearance once more. Balloon Boos continue to chase Mario or Luigi even when they have reached their minimum size. Unlike regular Boos, they chase Mario or Luigi only if they are in the same room. Balloon Boos can be defeated with a Blue Shell or a Mega Mushroom.
