Mega Boos,[1][2] also known as King Boos,[3] are a subset of Big Boo that appear in only one game, Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in only one galaxy, Haunty Halls Galaxy. Here, they are loaded in "A Glimmer of Bulb Berry"; they cannot be faced, however. The only mission where Mega Boos are directly encountered is "Sneaking Down the Creepy Corridor", where they follow Mario or Luigi through a thin hall, not stopping unless they are looked at or either brother reaches a Power Star or Launch Star. Mega Boos are accompanied by four Big Boos, and Mega Boos are several times larger than they are.

A similar-acting enemy, Boohemoth, later appears in New Super Mario Bros. 2. King Boo is also given a similar behavior in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Neither of these are accompanied by Big Boos, however.
