Hide and Boo Seek

Hide and Boo Seek (also known as Boo Wipe) is a mini-game in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros., where Luigi must use his Flashlight to find the Boos in the mansion. The player must use their Stylus as a flashlight. In the intro, the player would see the Boos. The lights would then turn off. The player would then have to find the Boo(s) in the dark in three seconds by rubbing the Touch Screen with the Stylus to find the Boos. If the player found all of the Boo(s), they would move on to the next level where there were more Boos. After level fifteen, the amount of time was reduced by one second. If the player couldn't find all of the Boo(s) in time, they would get a "game over".

The Boo(s) in the game follow basic physics, bouncing off walls and each other at angles relevant to the angle they hit them at. By observing the Boo(s) at the beginning, the player can predict where they will end up.

In the mini-game's multiplayer version in New Super Mario Bros., there are more players and more Boos. Players have fifteen seconds to get as many Boos as possible. When all of the Boos are collected, a new round begins. The player with the most Boos at the end of the game, wins.
