Aren't mini boos the little red ones in the Mario Party games? 30.png R.O.B. 128User offline.gif

Cool. :) What would we call the ones from Mario Party though? ☆R.O.B 128♂ 20:15, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
Um I think Boos? Princess Grapes Butterfly
Mini-boos are actually a reasonable part of the Mario universe. They are like smaller versions of Boos, yet play a different role. The Pink Boos are not mini-boos. Boo's defensive powershot does not summon mini-boos. Any more questions? I know a bit. GG445 Me! "...?" heiho! 22:46, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

SMG and LM[edit]

Should we remove the SMG and LM information as it is just describing small boos? Sprite of a Goomba from Super Mario Bros.DarkNightSprite of a Piranha Plant from Super Mario World 18:22, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

A.) Removed LM information as it was irrelevant.

B.) Should be moved to Mini Boo for singular? Lady Bow from Paper Mario. Green Star Lady Bow from Paper Mario. 15:48, November 10, 2020 (EST)

It should most definitely be singular since it is named as such in Mario Super Sluggers. I would also move the "Little Boos" from Yoshi's Story here. They're small-sized Boos that tend to act in a group. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:55, November 10, 2020 (EST)
Made the aforementioned changes. I'd reconsider adding Luigi's Mansion information back into the article, since Boolossus' Boos are actually very visibly smaller than the game's other Boos, and at least two of the official guides note the size difference (small Boos by Prima Games and little Boos by Versus Books). I'm not sure if this is also the case in later games, but it's true in both GCN and 3DS versions of the first game. The same logic as big enemies should apply to small enemies since size is too self-explanatory. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:42, November 13, 2020 (EST)

Are these the boos that appear in NSB games when you pick a fake ghost door.[edit]

I discovered this article for the small species of boo exist. I think these are the boos that appear when you choose a fake door in the New Super Mario Bros series.


I think this should be added to the article since the mini boos are the boo that appear when you choose a fake door.

Clean up this page?[edit]

? Block from Super Mario World This talk page or section has a conflict or question that must be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

It seems that the only real "Mini Boos" are the Little Boos from Yoshi's Story, while the others were added simply because they're small. Even above, there's a user suggesting adding the Trick door effect here just because miniature Boos appear. I think there's a difference between Little Boo (the enemy) and Boos that are simply small. So I believe we should clean up this page to some extent. Personally, I suggest removing the information of Luigi's Mansion, Mario Power Tennis, Super Mario Galaxy, and Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Note that the "name" of these Boos in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix is lowercased, so it's not really a name. As for Mario Super Sluggers, it should probably have its own page since it's an item with a separate name and different mechanics, merged here only because it happened to have a similar name.
