The Spooky Speedster makes his first appearance in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], where Mario races him in the Boo Race Zone during [[A Very Spooky Sprint]], in which Mario must use [[Pull Star]]s to navigate through the track. He also encounters him in the [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]] during its only mission, [[Racing the Spooky Speedster]], in which Mario must race through a tunnel as [[Boo Mario]], using his Boo suit's powers to get through crystal barriers, with a river of ghosts that shows him the correct way. When Mario meets the Spooky Speedster, he calls the Power Star "it", assuming Mario is also after "it", and when at the start of a race, the Spooky Speedster 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.
