In ''Yoshi's Story'', they were redesigned to have light blue blindfolds rather than black, and appear to have pink ears rather than arms. They only appear in Level 6-3, [[Ghost Castle]], and act just as they do in their first appearance. Like before, they are invulnerable to harm.

A Blindfold Boo,[1] also known as a Blindfolded Boo[2] or Boo Man Bluff,[3] is a species of Boo encountered in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (and its reissue), Yoshi's Story, and Super Princess Peach. As their name suggests, these Boos are blindfolded. They were originally depicted as mid-sized peach-colored Boos with green mouths, but they were depicted as normal-sized white Boos with pink mouths in later appearances. Since it cannot see, a Blindfold Boo relies on sound to guide it. When it hears a sound, such as a Yoshi gathering coins, it will home in on the sound. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, only one is found in Bigger Boo's Fort, while in the reissue, some are found in Endless World of Yoshis.

In Yoshi's Story, Blindfold Boos were redesigned to have light-blue blindfolds, rather than black, and have large pink ears rather than arms. They appear only in the Ghost Castle, and they act just as they do in their first appearance. Much like in the previous game, they are invulnerable to attacks, and when pursuing a Yoshi, they can move faster than a Yoshi can run.

In Super Princess Peach, the Blindfold Boos' appearance was changed once again to closer resemble their original sprite, but they come only as an advancing swarm wall this time. If Peach is hit by the swarm, she will have to go back to the start of the room she is in. The chase ends when the princess leads them into light, causing them to vanish. They first appear in Shriek Mansion. Fast versions are introduced in Bowser's Villa, and they can be outrun only through use of the Gloom vibe. Like Beach Koopas, blue Podoboos, and Security Thwomps, they do not appear in the in-game glossary.

The name "Boo Man Bluff" is derived from the tag-related game blind man's bluff, which also involves blindfolds.
