In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', there are [[Ghost House]]s, which contain many Boos (referred to as “Boo” Buddies). These Boos retain their usual pattern of attack from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and sometimes make faces at Mario or Luigi. However, they are somewhat slower and less accurate than in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This game also introduces many new sub-species of Boo, such as the [[Boo Buddy Block]], [[Boo Buddy Snake]], [[Boo Buddy Swarm]], [[Circling Boo Buddies]], [[Eerie]]s, and [[Disappearing Boo Buddies]]. It also introduces a giant version of the Boo, the [[Big Boo]], and a ghost-like [[Lakitu]] called a [[Fishin' Boo]]. One Ghost House contains a secret boss, [[The Big Boo (boss)|The Big Boo]]. The only way to defeat a Boo is with Super Stars or with Grab Blocks when he is visible.

Boos also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They are found mainly in Ghost Houses, scattered throughout the game as well as World 8-1. They appear like they usually do, shy, and they act the same as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They can only be defeated with a [[Shell]], a [[Super Star|Starman]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Blue Shell]]. The game also introduces the [[Balloon Boo]], which are normal Boos who can suck up air, and become much bigger. [[Broozer]], the boxing ghost, first appears in this game as well. An icon of 2 Boos covers the progress map in Ghost Houses.

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Boos appear as enemies. They first and only appearance throughout the game is in the [[Ghost House#Yoshi's Safari|Ghost Mansion]], a level in the [[Dark Realm]]. A [[Big Boo]] serves as the boss for the level. Just like any other enemy in the game, [[Yoshi]] must shoot the Boos with his [[Super Scope]].

Boos make appearances in some of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' comics. A Boo appears on the cover of the sixteenth issue. This issue is based on ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Alongside it, [[Eyerok]], a [[Bob-omb]], and [[Bowser]] can be seen. Throughout the comic, they appear, too. Their role in the comic is similar to their role in the game, where they are enemies to Mario and attempt to attack him. [[Lady Bow]], a notable boo, appears in a couple of the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' based issues. These issues are 25 and 27. Lady Bow appears on the cover of the twenty-fifth issue along with many of [[Mario]]'s other partners, including [[Goombario]], [[Kooper]], [[Eldstar]], and [[Twink]]. Besides appearing on the cover, she appears throughout the comic. Her role in the comic mimics her role in the game. Lady Boo reappears on the cover of the twenty-seventh issue and in the comic. Like in issue 25, Lady Bow's role in the comic is similar to her appearance in the game, where she helps Mario. In a ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' based issue, [[Boo Mario]] appears on the cover along with more of Mario's transformations.

Boos (called 'Boo Buddies' in the Note Board) appear in the modern version of ''[[Vermin]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' When ''[[Yoshi]]'' looks in the general direction of them, they refuse to move. When Yoshi looks away, they move towards the eggs. They only appear in groups of two or just one.  

A Boo appears in the Modern version of ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' and ''[[Mario's Cement Factory]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. In Donkey Kong 3, if Mario or Donkey Kong turn their backs, it'll slowly come closer to the player that it's closest to. If it gets close enough, the Boo will either scare Donkey Kong and award the player points (1 player only), or scare Mario and give the player a miss. In Mario's Cement Factory, a Boo will fly into the two containers on the second floor, clogging them up. The player does not receive any points for removing the Boo.

Boos make minor appearances in ''[[Mario Party]]''. Their voices can be mimicked by one of the items: the [[Talking Parrot]]. Boos also appear in each of the game's board maps, excluding [[Peach's Birthday Cake]]. On the boards, they steal [[Coin]]s or [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]] from opponents, and they are willing to steal a few coins for free from any player, although they ask for 50 coins to steal a Star. If the player tells Boo that they don't want to steal anything, Boo will say ''Don't feel so guilty. Ha ha ha!'' Additionally, after the Luigi's Engine Room board is completed, a Boo, [[Koopa]], and a [[Toad]], along with the two runner-ups, surround the victor and congratulate them. Boos also appear as one of the shapes the player can cut in the minigame, [[Crazy Cutter]].

Boos make several appearances in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. In it, they steal Coins or Stars as they did in the first game. However, Boo charges 5 coins to steal coins instead of a free steal; and steals much more than in the first game. Additionally, an item called the [[Boo Bell]] appears. When a player obtains it, they can ring for a Boo to come. The Boo that comes to the player's side is asked to steal Coins or Stars, depending on how much the player can afford. If the Boo is sent to steal Coins from an opponent, the opponent can fight it off by pressing the A button quickly. Additionally, the Boo can only steal a maximum of 30 coins or a maximum of one Star.

Boo also appears in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' where it is a playable character. When it wins a championship, Mario and Luigi would come out with the trophy and Boo would be missing. They look around and then the trophy would start to float. Boo then appears under it and Mario and Luigi are relieved. Then they start floating and the air is full of Boos who start flying around. Then the main Boo flies up to the screen and holds the trophy. Boo's taunt is to wave its racket while laughing. Boo's offensive power shot is the [[Boo Blast]] and its defensive power shot is the [[Boo Brigade Return]].

Boos make an appearance in the chapter book, ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]''. The cover features two Boos. One of the Boos is from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' and the other is a mirrored Boo from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. They are known as "ghosts" in the book. Boos capture [[Princess Peach]] and take her to [[Bowser's Castle]]. Mario also sees a vision of Princess Peach being caged and surrounded by six Boos. Boos are eventually defeated by Mario at the end of the book. To defeat them, Mario casts a spell on them and sends them flying out of the castle.
