Big Boo's Haunt
Big Boo's Haunt is a creepy, two-story mansion located in a small cage. It is the fifth course in Super Mario 64. Unlike most other courses, Big Boo's Haunt is not accessed via a painting. Instead, Mario must travel to the castle's courtyard (after he has collected 12 Power Stars) and defeat a large Boo. The Boo will drop a small cage containing the course. Mario shrinks upon entering.
Big Boo's Haunt is inhabited by none other than Big Boo himself, but in Super Mario 64 DS, Mario could find King Boo there as well. There is a small shack on the side of the mansion that has a lift to the basement. In the center of the basement is, strangely, a large merry-go-round. At the top floor of the mansion, there is the Luigi painting that leads to the Big Boo Battle.
Whenever Mario killed a ghost in the first star mission of the level, Big Boo (or King Boo) would deliver the creepy message, "Ghosts...don't...die! Can you get out of here ALIVE?"
