Big Boos reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and act much like they do in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They can only be encountered in [[Ghost House]]s, and are usually seen with many smaller [[Boo]]s. Unlike regular Boos, a Big Boo does not stop attacking unless every player is facing it, unless there are 4 players, in which case, only 3 need to face it.

Line 102: Line 101:
An unnamed Big Boo was also featured prominently in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic by ''[[Nintendo Power]]''. After being lured into a Ghost House, Mario and Luigi, after an encounter with several dozen Boos, encounter a Big Boo. Attempting to stare down this Big Boo and the swarm of Boos, Mario and Luigi become exhausted after hours of simply staring at the shy ghosts. Nearly collapsing of exhaustion, Mario spots a door and, dragging Luigi, dashes to it, with the Boos and Big Boos after him. Bursting through the door of the room Mario and Luigi just entered, the Big Boo and his Boo minions are surprised to see Mario [[Dr. Mario|dressed as a doctor]], with Luigi as his nurse. Acting as a psychiatrist, Mario manages to learn that, as a child, this Big Boo was constantly bullied, which led to its vicious behavior. After hearing this Big Boo's sad tale, Mario gives some helpful words of wisdom and advice. The Big Boo, having become a changed ghost through Mario's therapy, happily leads Mario out of the Ghost House and gratefully thanks him as Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi take-off to [[Bowser's Castle]]. Another Big Boo was later seen among the attendees to [[Bowser]]'s wedding to the brainwashed [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
===''Yoshi's Safari''===
====''Yoshi's Safari''====
The Big Boo appears as the boss of the level [[Ghost Mansion]] in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', Mario must shoot it with the [[Super Scope]] as he makes parts of the wall fall down on him. Later the Boo separates into three [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]]. Mario must shoot the one with his tongue out to win.

====''Yoshi's Island'' series====
[[File:Boo.gif|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', they appear in many [[Tower]]s and [[Castle]]s. However, in this game, they are only twice as large a normal Boo in height and width, making them half as large as the ones in ''Super Mario World''. Like normal Boos, they could only be defeated by looking away from the ghost and bouncing an egg off a wall, hitting the ghost in the face. They release [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s when defeated. Additionally, one of the bosses, [[Bigger Boo]], starts as a normal Big Boo before being transformed by Kamek's magic.
Big Boos also appear as enemies in both sequels, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', acting no differently than in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.
====''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''====
[[File:YTT - Boo Screenshot.png|frame|Yoshi with several [[Boo]]s and Big Boos in Mission 6-7.]]
In ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', Big Boos appear in the [[Tale of the Spirit of Kindness]] and the [[Tale of the Spirit of Fright]]. They are much more common than the smaller Boos, which are only in the latter.

[[File:HM Big Boo.png|thumb]]
In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Big Boos first appear in [[Ludwig's Thump Castle Hotel]] and are powerful enemies, being about one-sixth the size of a hotel floor, but are slower than normal Boos. Big Boos in this game attack in a manner similar to the ones of ''Super Mario World'', slowly floating towards Mario or Luigi when they look away, stopping and hiding behind their arms when directly looked at. Unlike the game's normal Boos, they are never transparent. When the player character is in a room or elevator, the Big Boo will lose track of them and wander in simple diagonal movements with a slightly confused expression.

===''Luigi's Mansion'' series===
====''Luigi's Mansion''====
Big Boos do not directly appear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|its remake]]; however, a boss known as [[Boolossus]] is based on a Big Boo, being an enormous Boo made of 15 smaller Boos.
====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
[[File:LM2BigBoo.png|thumb|left|The Big Boo in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'']]
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', a [[List of Boos in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon#Big Boo|Big Boo]] is one of the three bosses fought in [[Treacherous Mansion]], the final mansion in the game, in the mission [[Ambush Maneuver]]. Luigi and E. Gadd were tricked by King Boo to come into the miniature train station inside the [[Train Exhibit]], because E. Gadd thought that [[King Boo]] was there along with Mario's painting. Ten Boos are inside a mini train display in which they come together to form into Big Boo. The 10 Boos that assemble together are the only ghosts in the game who are not sucked into the [[Poltergust 5000]], as they are trapped in the trains' cages and later placed in the [[Boo Canister]] by E. Gadd.
In battle, the Big Boo has three attacks. Its first attack involves it trying to crush Luigi from above. It attempts to crush Luigi three times in a row. If it misses all three times, it is momentarily dazed from hitting his face on the ground the third time. Its other attack involves hiding halfway in the ground and attempting to charge into Luigi from there. If it misses Luigi and hits the moving train, it is stunned. However, if it misses Luigi and the train, it just floats back into the arena. When separated into individual Boos, they can ram into Luigi. The third attack happens only if Luigi pulls back on Big Boo's tongue for too long, in which the boss will recover and ram into Luigi. This attack is also used by the Boos.
To defeat Big Boo, Luigi has two different methods of attacking it. The first one involves avoiding Big Boo while it slams into the ground three times before becoming stunned. Luigi has to pull Big Boo's tongue and launch it into the drill of the moving toy train. The other way is to make Big Boo dash slightly in front of the train. When the Big Boo hits the drill on the train, he splits into ten Boos. Luigi must pull their tongues and send them flying towards the carriages of the train. When one of them hits a carriage, that Boo gets imprisoned inside the carriage and is unable to escape. Once all of Boos have been imprisoned in the carriages, the mission is complete and the [[Pixelator]] takes Luigi out of the train display and back to the [[Bunker]]. Afterwards, E. Gadd Pixelates the Boos into the Boo Canister.
Although it is named "Big Boo" in English versions of the game, it shares the same Japanese name as [[Boolossus]].

[[File:Mario vs bigboo.PNG|thumb|Big Boo in ''Mario Pinball Land'']]
In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', Big Boo is one of the five bosses. He appears in the haunted house at [[the Fun Fair]]. To defeat him, Mario has to attack him from behind or quickly attack him when he turns visible. He has no direct attacks but instead approaches Mario continuously. If Mario comes into contact with Big Boo while the latter is invisible, Mario temporarily spins out of control as if in a daze. Hitting Big Boo grants 10,000 points each time, and doing so three times defeats him and grants 500,000 points. Once defeated, Big Boo leaves behind four [[coin|Yellow Coins]], four [[Blue Coin]]s, and a [[Star Key (Mario Pinball Land)|Star Key]].

Big Boo reappears and is fought again after all the Boos are defeated in his rematch room in the [[Fiery Stage]]. This time, defeating him grants 1,000,000 points and yields the player a [[Power Star|Star]].

Big Boos appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', where they are enemies and recruitable allies found in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are flying troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Piercing Projectile, allows them to spit a blue beam at an enemy. Big Boos are slow, but have high HP and power. Their model bears a resemblance to [[King Boo]]'s appearance from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''.
