==History==
===''Yoshi's Story''===
[[File:Story Little Boo.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', swarms of Little Boos appear in only one level, [[Ghost Castle]]. Here, if [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] throws an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at one of them, every Little Boo stops in their tracks and swoop at Yoshi. Little Boos cannot all be defeated since more will just appear from off-screen. If Yoshi eats a [[Heart Fruit]] and does a [[Ground Pound]] near them, they will turn into [[Lucky Fruit]], much like [[Shy Guy]]s do. They resemble [[Boo Crew]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', except their position moving back and forth is more fixed instead of swooping from above, and they are never transparent.

[[Big & Little Boo]]s also make an appearance in [[Jelly Pipe]] and are comprised of one regular-sized Boo followed by three smaller Boos, which are larger than the Little Boos in Ghost Castle.

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|the 3DS version]], [[Boolossus]] is comprised of fifteen smaller Boos, which are smaller than the other Boos found in the game. [[Luigi]] must suck them all up in the [[Poltergust 3000]] to defeat the boss.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Boo's [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Offensive Power Shot]], [[Boo Blast (move)|Boo Blast]], involves Little Boos. The move summons many Little Boos into a large tennis racket, hitting the ball with it, then allowing them to cloak the ball.

===''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''===
[[File:DDRMM Boos.png|thumb|left|An example of a mini-Boo|150px]]
In ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'', '''mini-Boos''' appear during the Mush Mode versions of "[[Boo Boogie]]" and "[[Moustache, Barrel, and Gorilla]]." They occasionally replace the arrows in the chart. Stepping on one causes the giant Boo at the bottom to lower.

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Boo particles screenshot.png|thumb]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', transparent mini-Boos can be spotted along the bone walls and on the finish line planet of [[Ghostly Galaxy]] during the mission [[A Very Spooky Sprint]]. Every few moments, one spawns and moves a short distance while emitting a cluster of even smaller ones before disappearing.

===''Mario Super Sluggers''===
In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Mini Boos appear under their current name as an item. The Mini Boo item makes the ball invisible to the player in the outfield. They are found in [[Wario City]] and are required for [[King Boo]] to join the player's team in Challenge Mode.
