But if [[Mario]] takes his eyes off it, it slowly begins to transform into a Boo. They are actually required to clear a certain Ghost House, [[Choco-Ghost House]], as Mario must lure them towards him, turn around, and jump on and leap off them to reach a high ledge, where the exit door awaits. In ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', when the Boos turn into blocks, they still show their face, but in the original game, their faces disappear.

Boo Blocks return in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They appear solely in Stage 6-3: [[Ghost Castle]]. Their Ghost Block<ref name=MM/> form is redesigned with pink and white strips rather than being a solid gray block. In addition, they take a different appearance from normal Boos when Yoshi is looking away.
