'''Big Boo's Haunt''', also known as '''Big Boo's Mansion'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', page 6</ref>, is a three-story mansion located in a small cage. It is the fifth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Unlike most other courses, Big Boo's Haunt is one of the rare courses that is not accessed via a painting. Instead, [[Mario]] must travel to the castle's courtyard (after he has collected twelve [[Power Star]]s, fifteen in the DS remake) and defeat a [[Big Boo]] (with only one attack). The Boo will drop a small cage containing the course. Mario gets teleported to Big Boo's Haunt upon entering this cage. The level is bounded by what appears to be the bars of a cage, like the one in the entrance to the course. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as blizzard-sounding wind.
'''Big Boo's Haunt''', also known as '''Big Boo's Mansion''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 6.</ref> '''Boo's Haunted Mansion''',<ref name="PG84">M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 84.</ref> '''Big Boo's Haunted House''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) issue 49, page 26.</ref> and the '''Haunted House''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) issue 48, page 26.</ref> is a three-story mansion owned by the [[Big Boo]], located in a small carousel.<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 48.</ref> It is the fifth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Instead of accessing the course via a [[painting]], the player must travel to the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] after they have collected 12 [[Power Star]]s (15 in the DS remake) and defeat the Big Boo containing a small carousel. When near the carousel, the player's character shrinks down and enters it. It is the only course (in the original game) that does not share its theme with another course and has the most encounters with enemies containing Stars, with the Big Boo being fought three times and [[Big Mr. I.]] being fought once. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as howling wind.


Big Boo's Haunt is inhabited by [[Big Boo]] himself. 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 a large merry-go-round. There is also the [[Mad Piano]] (a piano that comes to life and tries to bite Mario (Luigi and Wario in the DS version) if he gets too close). Big Boo's Haunt is also home to [[Big Mr. I]]. There are two entrances into the main building: the front door immediately visible upon entering the level, and a single back door that leads into a room containing two Boos (and a Luigi Cap in the DS remake). This course is one of a few that contain bridges made of bricks that fall away when walked upon. Big Boo's Haunt is the only course that does not share a theme with another course. The music for the Merry-Go-Round is also used in the minigames [[Lakitu Launch]], [[Bingo Ball]], and [[Slots Shot]].
In the DS version, this is the only main course that [[Yoshi]] cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat [[Boo]]s; this is also the only course to have a [[level]] inside it required to free [[Luigi|another playable character]], and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being [[Behind the Waterfall]] in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]).
==Layout==
[[File:SM64DS Big Boos Haunt Map 1.png|frame|left|Map of the area outside the haunted house in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
Big Boo's Haunt takes place within the carousel. There are two buildings in the course: the main [[Ghost House|haunted house]] and a wooden shack off to the side (also known as the "'''House of Fun'''").<ref>Prima Bath. ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 86.</ref> Around the haunted house are several [[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]]s, and an entrance to a secret room with a couple of Boos is at the back of the haunted house.


In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', this is the only main course [[Yoshi]] cannot access since he cannot defeat Boos.
[[File:Big Boo's Haunt SM64 shack exterior.png|thumb|left|200px|The shack leading to the haunted house's basement]]
The haunted house consists of three floors, though only the first floor is accessible during the [[Go on a Ghost Hunt|first mission]] (unless the player has unlocked Luigi in the DS version, in which case the player can easily [[jump]] to the next floor). The rooms of the first floor consist of, from left to right, a room with the [[Mad Piano]], a room with a library, a room with a dungeon, a room with a collapsing bridge, and a room with a black pit and some platforms. If the player falls into the pit, it will lead them to the merry-go-round underneath. Once all the Boos and the Big Boo on the first floor are defeated, a staircase to the second floor appears.


==Levels==
The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's [[Star Marker]]. The second door from the left leads to a library with books flying out of the shelves, trying to attack the player. The end of the library leads to the first room from the left, which contains a Power Star. The third room has a wire-frame grate floor above the dungeon room, the fourth room has several [[casket]]s that rise when the player approaches them, and the fifth room contains a bookcase with [[Bookend]]s and a large [[seesaw|tilting platform]] that will drop the player into the merry-go-round if they stand on it for too long. The door in the back of the fifth room leads to a [[Cap Block|blue block]] (or red in the DS version), and a door above on a ledge leads to the third floor.
The level titles and numbers correspond to ''Super Mario 64'' unless otherwise noted.
===Star 1: Go On A Ghost Hunt===
[[File:Go On A Ghost Hunt.PNG|200px|thumb|right|]]
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Mario must defeat every [[Boo]] on the first floor, and once every one of them has been defeated, Big Boo (this one also called Master Boo) appears in the main room of the mansion. He can be defeated by being punched from behind or being [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounded]], as he turns invisible whenever Mario faces him from the front. He is not very difficult to defeat as he really has no attacks besides bumping into Mario. He is also easier to hit because of his large size. Once Mario has defeated him, a Star appears on the second floor and a staircase appears from the ground to reach it. The locations of the Boos are:
* Found either at the back entrance room, or in the second door to the left. (Two Boos)
* Found in the left door in the back.  
* Found in the right door in the back.
* Found either in the door across falling bridge or the door the right.


Whenever Mario defeats a ghost in the first star mission, "Go on a Ghost Hunt", of the level, Big Boo delivers the message ''"Ghosts...don't...die! Heh heh heh! Can you get out of here...ALIVE?"''. After the last Boo is defeated, it sends a different message: ''"BOOOOOO-M! Here comes the master of mischief, the tower of terror, The Big Boo! Ka ha ha ha..."''
The third floor consists of a small hall with doors to the balcony and a secret room containing Big Mr. I. In the DS version, a Luigi painting that brings [[Mario]] to the [[Big Boo Battle]] stage is also present in the hall. To access the room with Big Mr. I., the player has to be [[Vanish Mario]] or Vanish Luigi and enter through the large picture of a Boo before the power wears off. On the balcony lies the Big Boo, and the player can [[Long Jump|long-jump]] from the platform to access the roof.


===Names in other languages===
The shack on the grounds of the haunted house leads to an elevator that brings the player to large halls when stepped on. At the end of the halls is a room with [[water]] and a merry-go-round in the center, accessed by doors on either side. The merry-go-round has a large spinning platform in the center and several portraits of Boos. One of the portraits has actual Boos come out of it, and another acts like a [[flamethrower]].

===Star 2: Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round===
==Missions==
[[File:Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round.PNG|200px|thumb|right|]]
{|class="wikitable"style="text-align="center"
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. Once he enters the course, Mario should enter the shack near the mansion. He'll take the lift to the basement and hear "circus music" as he progress onward. There will be a door that leads into a room with a spinning floor and Boo paintings around the walls. One painting near a doorway will shoot out fire while [[Boo]]s will appear out of one on the left side of the other doorway. After Mario defeats five normal Boos, Big Boo will appear again and give up another Power Star once Mario defeats him in the same way he did in the first mission. This battle with Big Boo is slightly harder because of the rotating platform and fire coming out of the paintings.

===Star 3: Secret of the Haunted Books===
==Statistics==
[[File:Secret of the Haunted Books.PNG|200px|thumb|left|]]
*'''Total Number of [[Coin]]s''': 151 (160 in ''Super Mario 64 DS'')
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. The third mission for the red-capped plumber is on the second floor. Once Mario reaches the second floor of the Foyer, he should take the right hand door on the left side of the room. This will lead him into a small library. As Mario heads around the library, small books shoot out themselves from the shelves; these will injure him if not avoided, and are not to be confused with the books with teeth that attack Mario in other rooms. Once Mario has rounded the corner, he will come to a wall with three books jutting out of the wall. If Mario punches or kicks them in the right order, the wall will move away revealing a door. If he hits the books in an incorrect order, a small book will attack him and the books will reset. Once he enters through the door, he will be able to claim this mission's Power Star. The correct order would be top, bottom and middle (or center, right, left).

*''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'': The haunted house makes an appearance on Hole 2 of [[Bowser Badlands]] in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''.
Mario has to collect the eight [[Red Coin]]s scattered about the level. This mission is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. The location of the red coins are:
*''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'': In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the minigame [[Hide and Boo Seek]] is set in the main lobby of the haunted house. An arrangement of the merry-go-round theme from this course is also used in the minigame [[Lakitu Launch]], which returns from ''Super Mario 64 DS''.
* Behind the [[Mad Piano]] in the first door on the left.
*''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'': A remix of the merry-go-round's theme is in ''Mario Strikers Charged'' as Boo's theme whenever he scores a goal.
* On top of the shelf on the right in the second door on the left.
*''[[Mario Kart 8]]'': The merry-go-round music is also used near the Aqua Cups area in ''Mario Kart 8''{{'}}s [[Water Park]].
* On top of the shelf on the left in the second door on the left.
* On a small ledge in in the door on the right.
* Up the stairs in the last door on the right, behind the bookshelf.
* Up the stairs in the first door on the right, under a coffin.
* Up the stairs in the first door on the right, under another coffin (N64 version only)

===Star 5: Big Boo's Balcony===
[[File:BigBooSM64.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Mario]] and [[Big Boo]] on the balcony.]]
Mario's next journey in both games for this Power Star takes him to another (the third and the last) encounter with [[Big Boo]]. He'll head up to the third floor and see a door that will lead to the outside balcony, where he will meet [[Big Boo]] once again. After his third defeat, Big Boo will give yet another Power Star. The Star will jump up to the roof of the house, and [[Mario]] will have to get up to retrieve it, bewaring to not falling down, remaking is way to the top of the house or, occasionally, losing a life.

===Star 6: Eye to Eye in the Secret Room===
[[File:Mr.I.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Mario]] with [[Big Mr. I]] in the room behind the wall.]]
Back on the third floor, Mario will see a wall with a picture of a [[Boo]]. The Power Star he seeks is on the other side of the picture. What he must do is to have activated the blue [[! Switch]] and to be able to use the [[Vanish Cap]] located on the second floor. He needs to quickly acquire the cap and rush through the wall on the third floor, where [[Big Mr. I]] resides. Once Mario defeats it, he will be rewarded with another [[Power Star]].
 
Like with Star 5, this level is the same in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' as it is in the original, but must be completed using Luigi, as he is the only one who can turn invisible (using a [[Power Flower]]) and does not need to active the Switch.

===Star 7 (DS): Switch Star in the Basement===
[[File:Switch Star in the Basement.PNG|200px|thumb|left|]]
As a mission exclusive to ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this one requires [[Wario]] to complete the level. In the basement, there is a black box that only Wario can break. Underneath is a [[Star Switch]] that will activate the Star. It's located on the other side of the room and lasts for a short amount of time, making it difficult for the player to obtain it. The player can choose to use the Caps to change to a different and faster character (the block won't respawn itself).

==Differences in the ''DS'' Version==
*In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the player can find [[King Boo]], and although he is a large boo with a crown, he was still named "Big Boo" (even though the game was released after ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'').
*At the top floor of the mansion, there is a [[Luigi]] painting that leads to the [[Big Boo Battle]]. Mario can access this by turning into Balloon Mario by hitting the [[? Block|Red ? Block]], or by doing a wall kick. Luigi and Wario can back flip off the top of the ? Block.

*A remix of the Merry-Go-Round's theme is in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' as Boo's theme whenever he scores a goal.
*If the player activates first-person view when Mario is close enough to enter the course, the player can still move the camera for a bit before the screen transitions to the mission-selection screen.
**It also is quite similar to [[zeldawiki:Farewell to Gibdos|Farewell to Gibdos]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''.
*In the DS version, a [[Luigi Cap|green cap]] appears on the Boo in the back room of the first floor. By using hacks to enter the course as Yoshi, it can be shown that Yoshi is able to tongue the cap off the Boo and turn into Luigi as if the cap were on a normal [[Goomba]].
**The Merry-Go-Round music is also used near the Aqua Cups area in ''[[Mario Kart 8|Mario Kart 8's]]'' [[Water Park]].

*This is the only course in the entire game that doesn't have a static entrance.

*In ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the minigame [[Hide and Boo Seek]] is set in the main lobby of the mansion.
*Since Yoshi cannot access this course in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', this makes Big Boo's Haunt the only one of the 15 main courses that not all characters can access.
*This is the only course in the game to not share its music with any other level.
*This course has the most bosses in the game. (Big Boo is fought three times, Big Mr. I is fought once.)

Big Boo's Haunt, also known as Big Boo's Mansion,[1] Boo's Haunted Mansion,[2] Big Boo's Haunted House,[3] and the Haunted House,[4] is a three-story mansion owned by the Big Boo, located in a small carousel.[5] It is the fifth course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Instead of accessing the course via a painting, the player must travel to the Mushroom Castle's courtyard after they have collected 12 Power Stars (15 in the DS remake) and defeat the Big Boo containing a small carousel. When near the carousel, the player's character shrinks down and enters it. It is the only course (in the original game) that does not share its theme with another course and has the most encounters with enemies containing Stars, with the Big Boo being fought three times and Big Mr. I. being fought once. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as howling wind.

In the DS version, this is the only main course that Yoshi cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat Boos; this is also the only course to have a level inside it required to free another playable character, and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being Behind the Waterfall in the Hazy Maze Cave).

Big Boo's Haunt takes place within the carousel. There are two buildings in the course: the main haunted house and a wooden shack off to the side (also known as the "House of Fun").[6] Around the haunted house are several Scuttle Bugs, and an entrance to a secret room with a couple of Boos is at the back of the haunted house.

The haunted house consists of three floors, though only the first floor is accessible during the first mission (unless the player has unlocked Luigi in the DS version, in which case the player can easily jump to the next floor). The rooms of the first floor consist of, from left to right, a room with the Mad Piano, a room with a library, a room with a dungeon, a room with a collapsing bridge, and a room with a black pit and some platforms. If the player falls into the pit, it will lead them to the merry-go-round underneath. Once all the Boos and the Big Boo on the first floor are defeated, a staircase to the second floor appears.

The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's Star Marker. The second door from the left leads to a library with books flying out of the shelves, trying to attack the player. The end of the library leads to the first room from the left, which contains a Power Star. The third room has a wire-frame grate floor above the dungeon room, the fourth room has several caskets that rise when the player approaches them, and the fifth room contains a bookcase with Bookends and a large tilting platform that will drop the player into the merry-go-round if they stand on it for too long. The door in the back of the fifth room leads to a blue block (or red in the DS version), and a door above on a ledge leads to the third floor.

The third floor consists of a small hall with doors to the balcony and a secret room containing Big Mr. I. In the DS version, a Luigi painting that brings Mario to the Big Boo Battle stage is also present in the hall. To access the room with Big Mr. I., the player has to be Vanish Mario or Vanish Luigi and enter through the large picture of a Boo before the power wears off. On the balcony lies the Big Boo, and the player can long-jump from the platform to access the roof.

The shack on the grounds of the haunted house leads to an elevator that brings the player to large halls when stepped on. At the end of the halls is a room with water and a merry-go-round in the center, accessed by doors on either side. The merry-go-round has a large spinning platform in the center and several portraits of Boos. One of the portraits has actual Boos come out of it, and another acts like a flamethrower.
