This episode takes place in the casino, so the player needs to talk to the bellhop on the first floor of [[Hotel Delfino]] to be let in. One of the [[Pianta]]s in the casino will state that the purple panel on the giant roulette wheel is abnormal, and [[Ground Pound]]ing the unusual panel will lower the center wheel, taking [[Mario]] to the arena where King Boo is fought.
This episode takes place in the casino, so the player needs to talk to the bellhop on the first floor of [[Hotel Delfino]] to be let in. One of the [[Pianta]]s in the casino will state that the purple panel on the giant roulette wheel is abnormal, and [[Ground Pound]]ing the unusual panel will lower the center wheel, taking [[Mario]] to the arena where King Boo is fought.


The arena is made up of three roulette rings, each with one purple panel on them. The inner and outer ring will spin in the same direction with the middle ring spinning in the other direction. The player can stop the spinning by Ground Pounding the purple panel on a ring. King Boo will appear in the center of the rings and he has a slot machine underneath him that will determine his attack. Spraying King Boo with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] will make him spin the slots, which can land on either him spitting out [[Fruit]], enemies, [[Coin]]s, or bubbles. Among the fruit King Boo will spit out are [[Pepper]]s and throwing them back at him will cause his tongue to catch fire. During this period, the player needs to throw another piece of fruit at King Boo to damage him.

After taking damage, King Boo will recover his slot machine and any stopped roulette rings will start moving again. The player needs to repeat this process two more times in order to defeat King Boo.
 
(Although Super Mario Sunshine is, overall, a really entertaining Mario game, this particular boss fight illustrates the problems with this particular installment.  There are no visual cues or clues that would lead a player to toss additional fruit into Boo's mouth (the game actually dissuades you from taking this action, prior to using the hot pepper) and thus, this boss fight is needlessly opaque and annoying.  Don't tell me to "get good" at games either.  I am great at games.)

The enemies King Boo spits out are two [[Blooper]]s, [[Strollin' Stu]]s, and [[Smolderin' Stu]]s. If the player bursts the bubbles that come out, they can refill F.L.U.D.D.'s tank.
