Hide and Boo Seek is one of Yoshi's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and a Puzzle minigame in New Super Mario Bros. Despite being one of Yoshi's minigames in the former, this minigame features Luigi as the playable character. The name and gameplay of this minigame are based on the game hide-and-seek.

The minigame's music is an arrangement of the Underground Theme from Super Mario Bros.

Gameplay[edit]

Luigi must use his flashlight to find the Boos in the mansion of Big Boo's Haunt. At the beginning of each level, the Boos appear and follow basic physics, bouncing off walls and each other at angles relevant to the angle at which they hit them. By observing the Boos at the beginning, the player can predict where they end up. After a few seconds, the lights turn off, and the player has three seconds to find the Boos in the dark by rubbing the Touch Screen with the Stylus stylus. If the player finds all of the Boos, the player moves on to the next level, where more Boos are found. After Level 15, the time gets reduced to two seconds. If the player cannot find all of the Boos in time, the player loses the minigame and receives a Game Over.

In the multiplayer version in New Super Mario Bros., there are more Boos as players must find them in a certain amount of time. Players have 20 seconds to get as many Boos as possible. When all of the Boos are found onscreen, they get counted and a new round begins. Once the timer reaches zero, all of the Boos that have been found are counted, and the player who has the most wins.
