Spooky Speedster

The Spooky Speedster is a character from Super Mario Galaxy. He is a Big Boo wearing a helmet and a visor, and he challenges Mario to a race for a Power Star.

Mario races him in the Ghostly Galaxy during A Very Spooky Sprint, in which Mario must use Pull Stars to navigate through the track. He also encounters him in Boo's Boneyard Galaxy during its only mission, Racing the Spooky Speedster, in which Mario must race through a tunnel as Boo Mario. When Mario meets the Spooky Speedster, he calls the Power Star "it", assuming Mario is also after "it", and when he starts a race, he pulls his visor down over his eyes. If Mario reaches the finish area first, the Spooky Speedster gives him the Power Star; however, if Spooky Speedster gets to the Power Star first, Mario loses a life.

Along with Cosmic Mario, he is a rough equivalent to Koopa the Quick and Il Piantissimo, characters who similarly race Mario for a reward.

Mario must use Pull Stars to navigate the creepy, bone-ridden course. If he beats him, Spooky will graciously award the celestial prize.''
