They appear large at first, but when looked away from, they approach the player while expelling air and shrinking; otherwise, they stop and inflate by inhaling air at a rather slow rate, until they have assumed their massive appearance once more. Balloon Boos continue to chase [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] even when they have reached their minimum size. Balloon Boos can be defeated with a [[Blue Shell]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]].

Balloon Boos will continue to chase [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] even when they have reached their minimum size; they will also only chase them if they are in the same room (i.e. there are no walls between them).

-*When [[Mega Mario]] (or Mega Luigi) comes into contact with a Balloon Boo, like the [[Goal Pole]], it flies away in a circular motion, similar to a balloon propelling air erratically when it is released. {{ref needed}}
