“Ghosts... ...don't... ...DIE! Heh, heh, heh! Can you get out of here... ...alive?”
Boo, Super Mario 64

The Boo (originally known as Boo Diddley) is a common enemy in the Mario series that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. They are a type of white spherical ghost with menacing and constantly open mouths and also small "arms" of some sort. Goombario's tattle for the Boo, Igor in Paper Mario states: "He probably was a merchant before he became a Boo.", implying that current Boos may have once been living beings.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

A Boo Diddley from Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Boos appeared for the first time and were referred to as Boo Diddleys, a pun off the late former rock star Bo Diddley. However, future games referred to them only as Boos. The Boo would shield his face if Mario or Luigi looked at it, but would start chasing if Mario or Luigi looked away. Boos are unable to be defeated, unless the two were equipped with a Hammer Bro. Suit, Koopa shell, or Starman (Fireballs didn't affect Boos). The game also had Stretches, which were Boos with very long bodies that lived in the Fortresses throughout the kingdom.

Super Mario World

SMWBoo.png

In Super Mario World, there were Ghost Houses, which contained many Boos. These Boos retained their usual pattern of attack from Super Mario Bros. 3 and sometimes made faces at Mario or Luigi. The game also introduced a new sub-species of Boo, the Boo Buddy, which could take on numerous different forms. It also introduced a giant version of the Boo, the Big Boo.

Yoshi's Island

A Boo hiding and revealing itself.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Boos reappear and are misnamed "Big Boos" in the English translation. This may be because they are about three times bigger than a regular Boo (Whereas in Super Mario World, Big Boos are at least ten times bigger). Regardless, Boos will hide behind their arms if Yoshi looks at them. Unfortunately, while hiding, Big Boos cannot be hurt. To defeat a Boo, Yoshi must look away from the ghost and bounce an egg off a wall, hitting the ghost in the face as it approaches from behind. Boos also reappear in the game's sequels, Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island DS.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Template:Smrpgenemy

During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Boos return However, once again, the English translation erroneously calls them "The Big Boo" (Always "Teresa" rather than "Atomic Teresa" in Japan). These Boos, like other Boos before them, hide behind their arms when stared at. However, some The Big Boos teleport around the room, attempting to scare Mario and his friends. The Big Boos live in Kero Sewers along with many other ghouls, including Hobgoblins and Shadows. Often, these three undead monsters will assist each other in battle. Strangely enough, Big Boos have no physical defense, making them extremely weak enemies (even a Goomba has three defense points). However, The Big Boos make up for their lack of defense with high evasion, meaning that most attacks against a The Big Boo will miss. In battle, The Big Boos command powerful lighting magic, including the attacks Lightning Orb and Bolt. The Big Boos also know the special attack Scream, which cuts a party member's attack and defense in half. When not using magic, a The Big Boo will approach one of Mario's party members and make a face, damaging that character. There are also stronger Boos called Li'l Boos, which are the same size and have blue tongues, much like the first appearance of King Boo. The only true appearance of a Big Boo is the real one used in Bowser's Terrorize attack [1].

Super Mario 64

Boos make a starring appearance in the level, Big Boo's Haunt, in Super Mario 64. A bunch of Boos can be found in the Castle Gardens (holding Red Coins in the DS version). After collecting twelve Power Stars, Mario is able to enter Big Boo's Haunt by going into the little cage a certain Boo drops. A portal to this course is hidden inside a Big Boo. After Mario attacks it once, a small cage falls out of him, and Mario can jump in. He also battles Big Boo many times here. Additionally, when the Boos look at Mario, the Boos attempt to hide by becoming partially invisible. In the invisible Boo; the player can see a Coin or a Blue Coin as this was an add-on to the Boos' physics. To defeat them, a punch or kick from behind is needed. Unfortunately for them, Mario can also easily defeat them with a ground pound.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

While Boos did not appear in the original Super Mario Bros., Boos appeared in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe as the main enemy in the "You VS. Boo" mode. The goal was to reach the flagpole before the Boo. After defeating Boo a certain amount of times, he flies away and a Green Boo replaces him; after that Boo is defeated, a Red Boo takes its place, and finally, a Black Boo with a yellow outline appears. Each new Boo is faster than the one before it, meaning the plain White Boo is the slowest while the so-called "Legendary Black Boo" is the fastest and hardest to defeat.

Super Mario Sunshine

Boos return in Super Mario Sunshine terrorizing the residents of Hotel Delfino. In this game, they could be stunned by F.L.U.D.D, and defeated by jumping on them. They also disguise themselves as coins, but can be told apart from the fact they aren't spinning, while real coins do spin. It turns out that Hotel Delfino has numerous mysteries, including flipping floor tiles, a magic painting, and a flipping bookcase. Mario had a tough time trekking the mysterious hotel, and solving its many mysteries. Eventually, he found King Boo in the basement of the Casino, and had to battle him. He could defeat him by throwing a Chili, which appears randomly, at him, and then throwing another piece of fruit at him. Mario had to do this three times before he finally fell. Boos could also disguise themselves as Shadow Mario, while the real Shadow Mario was running from Mario. They could be told apart from the fact that the fake Shadow Marios are very pale, while the real one is dark blue. Their appearance had just one change, they had blue circles surrounding their black pupils.

Super Mario 64 DS

In Super Mario 64 DS, Boos still kept the same role they did in Super Mario 64. However, Mario could find a Luigi Painting, which would take him to the Big Boo Battle level on the Balcony. After reaching the end by following the cackle of King Boo, he finally made it to a room with a mirror at the end of it. He then has to battle King Boo. However, King Boo is invisible and the only way for Mario to see him is to looking the mirror, making it harder to hit him. After hitting him three times, Mario gains the key to the room in which Luigi is trapped in, and hurries off. In the English version of the game, King Boo is erroneously referred to as "Big Boo." Yoshi cannot defeat them in this game. Ground Pounding yields no results, and eating them simply causes Yoshi to spit them back out again.

New Super Mario Bros.

Boos also appeared in New Super Mario Bros.. They were found mainly in Ghost Houses, scattered throughout the game as well as World 8-1. They appeared like they usually do, shy. The game also introduced the Balloon Boo, which were normal Boos who could suck up the air, and become much bigger (4-5 times their size). Broozer the boxing ghost appeared in the game as well.

Super Mario Galaxy

Boos make an appearance in Super Mario Galaxy as well, and are found in the Ghostly Galaxy, the Bigmouth Galaxy, the Deep Dark Galaxy, and the Sand Spiral Galaxy. Boos act in the same way that they did in previous games, such as hiding and turning transparent when Mario looks at them, and following him when he looks away. Boos can only be defeated when they are brought under a ray of light (including the Toad Brigade captain's helmet), and they cannot be defeated by Mario's spin attack or jump attack (however the spin attack can throw a Boo around Mario, knocking it off course temporarily or into a light). Strangely, if a Boo catches sight of Mario while he is in the Boo Suit, it appears to develop an attraction toward Mario (meaning that it is likely female). If a Boo hits into Mario while he is in the Boo Suit, Mario loses the suit, but does not lose any health. Also, a Boo called "The Spooky Speedster" is found in two areas of the game, and Mario must race him to win a Power Star. This game also introduces a new kind of Boo, called the Bomb Boo, which is similar to a normal Boo, but is black and can be grabbed by its tongue if Mario uses his spin attack on it. Spinning again will hammer-toss them into statues and enemies and break them. However, if Mario holds onto the Bomb Boo too long, he will be blow up and take damage.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Boos will yet again reappear in the upcoming sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2. They will have the same role as in the first game.


The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

Boos made infrequent appearances in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, which depicted them as having a somewhat more menacing appearance. Like in the game the show was based on, Boos worked for Bowser and often aided him in causing trouble, such as in "Reign Storm", where Bowser has several Boos terrorize the new Mushroom Shopping Mall. They were referred to as 'Boodidlies'.

Super Mario World television series

File:Aboo.jpg
A boo in Super Mario World television series.

In Super Mario World, Boos, who are completely redesigned, appear only in the episodes "Ghosts 'R' Us", in which a gang of Boos, as well as a Big Boo, appear to chase Yoshi through Wizardheimer's Haunted House. "The Night Before Cave Christmas", Yoshi sees one and runs off screaming, knocking mario through the bars. "The Yoshi Shuffle", several appear in the audience.

Super Mario Adventures

In Super Mario Adventures, a horde of Boos appear to attack Mario and Luigi when they are tricked into a haunted house by Bowser and the Koopalings. Mario and Luigi become trapped by the Boos and a Big Boo, who are held at bay by being stared at in the face. Eventually, nearing exhaustion, Mario races to a nearby room, dragging Luigi and being chased by the Boos. Upon barging into this room, the Boos and Big Boo find Mario dressed as a psychiatrist with Luigi as his nurse. After some talking, Mario and Luigi manage to reform the Boos and the Big Boo, while learning they were bullied in their youth and thats why they act so nasty. These Boos and their Big Boo leader were last seen happily waving goodbye to Mario, Luigi and Yoshi as the left the haunted house, which the Boos led them out of. Boos also appear at Peach's wedding.

Mario Kart series

In the Mario Kart series, the Boo is used as a very tactical item. When activated, the Boo selects a racer with the best item in reach, steals the item and gives it to the player. At the same time, the player turns invisible and therefore is completely invulnerable for a short period of time. While invisible, the player can pass the other racers more easily by simply going through them. If no other players have any items, the Boo will return empty handed. Additionally, in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Boo also slowed down the leading racer and in Mario Kart DS, using the Boo wouldn't make the player lose any speed when driving off-road, so various shortcuts can be exploited.

Boo was set to be playable in Mario Kart Wii, but was taken out of the final game in favor of King Boo, who had already appeared as a playable character in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.[2]

Super Mario Land series

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Boos were once again featured in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These Boos are relatively unchanged from the previous Boos. Boos in this game were found in the Pumpkin Zone. A thrown Green Shell is enough to finish it off for good. There also is a new sub-species named Terekuribos, which are a cross-breed between Boos and Goombas. Those walk like normal Goombas, but their weaknesses are those of Boos.

Super Mario Bros. film

In the live-action Super Mario Bros. movie, several Boos can be briefly seen surrounding the Valley of Bowser from Super Mario World on a television screen in the Boom Boom Bar.

Hotel Mario

Boos appeared in Hotel Mario, though exclusively under the name of Boo Buddies. There are two types of Boos in this game. Some stay visible and don't hurt Mario until transparency is achieved, at which they can harm the heroic plumber. The game also features the regular Boos.

Yoshi series

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Boo Buddy
A Boo hiding and revealing itself.

Boos first appeared chronologically as antagonists to Yoshi in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They were first seen in World 2, which featured numerous ghastly creatures. They were underlings for Kamek, the head of the Magikoopas, who turned one Boo into Bigger Boo, which grew in size every time he was hit by an egg. The main boss of World 2 was also a Boo-like creature, Roger the Potted Ghost, who was a normal flower pot, until Kamek made him giant, and transformed it into a living creature. Normal Boos can only be defeated when they are attacking Yoshi, so Yoshi had to bounce an egg off the wall, and into the Boo. The game also featured the Boo Blah, a spectacle Boo exclusive to this game. Big Boos appeared as well.

Yoshi's Story

File:Bigboo.gif
A Boo in Yoshi's Story.

Boos reappear in Yoshi's Story in Stage 6-3: Ghost Castle. They do not act differently, although they are slightly bigger. In this game, the normal Boo was called a Big Boo, despite not being an actual Big Boo. The Ghost Castle was also home to other Boo species: namely, the Boo Block, Blindfold Boo, and others. Yoshi Sewers also had ghost platforms, along with a blue variant called a Boo Buddy.

Yoshi's Universal Gravitation

Very, very few Boos were in Yoshi's Universal Gravitation. In fact, there are four missions they exist in. They follow the same tactics as normal, are in 3-D, and retain their normal laugh.

Yoshi's Island DS

Yoshi, yet again, came in contact with a few Boos in Yoshi's Island DS. Here, they are commonly found in castles, along with other ghastly creatures. They are, yet again, working for Kamek. They attack the same as all Boos before, but, like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, they can only be defeated if Yoshi looks away, so he must bounce an egg off of the wall. A Boo-like mid-boss, named Hector the Reflector appears as well. The Boos' laugh used in many games before is used for the boss Six-Face Sal, and even Baby Bowser.

Mario Party series

"Sorcerer" Boo
The Sorcerer Boo from Mario Party 4.

Boo also regularly appears in the Mario Party series. Boo started off as a character which helped to steal coins and stars from players when they passed by him, as well as a host for Mario Party 4, hosting his own haunted house-themed board. He is also an unlockable playable character in the Beach Volley Folley game. However, starting from Mario Party 5, Boo was a playable character in Party Mode. Mario Party 8 even featured King Boo's Haunted Hideaway as one of the boards, King Boo's first appearance in Mario Party. Boo's partner for Mario Party 3 was Yoshi, Koopa Kid in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6 and Dry Bones in Mario Party 7 and Mario Party 8. Boo was not a playable character in Mario Party DS and played no part in board play, but appeared as an unlockable figure, also appearing in mini-games like Boo Tag.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

The Boo's Mansion in Paper Mario was a bigger version of the Super Mario World Ghost Houses, which had many puzzles involving Boos in it. The only difference, is that these Boos were kind Boos (yet, still a bit tricky). After solving these puzzles, Lady Bow, the princess of the Boos, joined Mario's party, in order to destroy Tubba Blubba, who has been terrorizing the native Boos. Mario helped her, in order to get the Star Spirit, Lady Bow had in her possession. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Bow and Bootler are on vacation in Poshley Heights after Mario and his teammates defeat the Shadow Queen.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Boos live in a tower called Creepy Steeple. When Mario first enters the steeple there is only one Boo in the room whoe says that he misses his friends. He will let Mario through one door (Blocking him from using any other doors), where he finds a chest. When he opens it, 200 Boos fly out. The last Boo asks Mario "How many Boos came out of that chest?" If Mario answers correctly the Boo will give him an Ultra Shroom. If Mario is wrong the Boo will give him one Coin. Upon returning the main room, the first Boo is still there. He asks if Mario is going to be mean to him. If Mario answers "No", a bunch of Boos (The same ones from the treasure chest) will start flying around the main room, attempting to swarm Mario. If successful, they will throw Mario out of the Steeple, exactly like the Sentinels in Tubba Blubba's Castle If Mario Spin Attacks them several times, they merge into the Atomic Boo. Once the Atomic Boo is defeated, Mario can fight Boos in other parts of the Steeple. Strangely enough, the original Creepy Steeple Boo sends a letter to Mario that thanks him for freeing his friends, despite the fact that he and his friends attacked him. He signs the letter "The Creepy Steeple Boo". More Boos can be found in the Pit of 100 Trials. The game also introduced a more powerful sub-species, the Dark Boo.

Super Paper Mario

Template:Catch Card

Boos return as enemies in Super Paper Mario.

The Arcade in Flipside houses a Boo themed shooting game. This game has you shooting Boos (Both Normal, Dark and occasionally Big Boos) to score points. A Toad frequently appears to give power ups, as long as you save him from his Boo captor.

Luigi's Mansion

Boo
A Boo in Luigi's Mansion.

In Luigi's Mansion, the Boos were the main antagonists. King Boo sent a letter to Luigi, stating that he had won a Mansion in a contest. However, Luigi did not enter any contest, but paid no attention, and headed off. Mario went on ahead, but got captured by the King of the Boos, King Boo. Luigi had to rescue his brother from the Boos, using E. Gadd's Poltergust 3000. Luigi managed to find his brother, stuck in a painting. He ended up having to battle King Boo in order to rescue Mario. King Boo sent them to the roof of the Mansion, and used a Bowser suit to battle him. However, the suit's head could come off once a spikeball was thrown at him, and King Boo would float out, leaving him open for Luigi's Poltergust. After taking away all of his 500 HP, King Boo got turned into a painting, and Mario was restored back to his normal self. However, King Boo managed to escape.

There are 51 Boos which Luigi must suck up in the Poltergust 3000. There are 50 regular Boos, 15 of them making up Boolossus, with King Boo as the final Boo. See this section for more information about the individual Boos.

Mario & Luigi series

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Boos were enemies that appeared in Bowser's Castle. Outside battle, they would hover around, attacking Mario and Luigi when they are not looking. However, they would look away if Mario or Luigi made eye contact. In battle, they would fly up into the air, and fall back down into the Mario Bros. The Boos were unknowingly aiding Bowletta, thinking she was the actual Bowser.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Template:Pitenemy During the events of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Boos appeared in Bowser's Castle of the past. Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi met a lot of them while trying to reach the end of Baby Bowser's Castle. In the field, Boos attacked the same way as they did in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, but in-battle they fought differently. They would cover their faces, but when they start to attack, the Boo will take one of its hands off one of its eyes, showing who it is about to attack. If it shows its right eye, it will attack Mario, but if it shows its left eye, it is attacking Luigi. They will appear from behind, and charge towards one of the Mario Bros. However, this could easily be countered with a jump. They also appeared during the battle with Sunnycide. After the Mario Bros. flip the egg monster over, Sunnycide could summon a Boo to attack Mario or Luigi. Dark Boos also return in the game, found in the Gritzy Caves.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Boos reappear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. They have been seen feeding Bowser a large amount of food, making him grow quite large. Boos also appear at the end of a battle to give Bowser his bonus, much like Lakitu for the Mario Bros.


Mario vs. Donkey Kong series

Mario vs. Donkey Kong

A Boo has appeared once in Mario vs. Donkey Kong at Spooky House. It acted just like its former battle strategy, with it hiding when Mario looks at it. It will spit its tongue out at Mario if he were about to lose a life.

Mario Pinball Land

In Mario Pinball Land, Boos appear in certain areas in the game. Mario cannot hit them at the front because they will become transparent as Mario passes through them. If Mario hits one of the Boos on their backs, the Boo disappears as it is worth 2000 points. They occasionally disappear and reappear to another spot in the area.

Super Princess Peach

Boos appeared in Princess Peach's first starring game, Super Princess Peach. They acted as normal Boos, hiding their face when Peach looked, and attacking when Peach had her back turned. However, there was an angry variety called the Mad Boo, which attacked the opposite way. They attacked when Peach looked at them ("losing their shyness"), and gander around for her when she looks away.

The Appearance of a Boo

File:Boo History.PNG
Boos as they appear in various games.

Though their specifics change from game to game, Boos are usually bashful, cowardly, spherical ghosts. Although they are typically white in color there are sub-species of the Boo race which appear in different colors, such as pink. From Luigi's Mansion onward, it became common to picture Boos sticking out their tongues. Since Super Mario 64, Boos have been portrayed with a unique, high-pitched laugh. In actuality, this laugh is the same as Bowser's, sped up several times[3]. However, Boos got a new laugh starting in New Super Mario Bros., being more of a haunting laugh than before. Although most species of Boo will cover their faces and become intangible when looked at, they will often sneak behind their victim and strike when their back is turned. Due to their ghostly abilities, Boos are generally invulnerable, and cannot be harmed by ordinary means of attack. While this is true, they are not invincible, and are especially vulnerable to the light. If they are exposed to a source of light, Boos are usually weakened, and in some cases they may even perish. Usually, they can also have other weaknesses. Because of their intolerance to the light, Boos will often hide if they are trapped in lit rooms. While the ghosts generally appear to be more afraid of their victims than their victim is of them, this is not always the case. Some Boos have absolutely no problem meeting their victim's gaze, and will even try to attack. Boos tend to have a taste for the fine arts, as seen in Paper Mario and Mario Party 4. The best way to defeat a Boo is to sneak behind so it cannot see the player and disappear, or to set a trap for the Boo while the player's back is turned (ie: using an item, or in Super Paper Mario, a Pixl).

Boos are often characterized by their sub-species; despite their similarities in appearance and attack manner. Boo species tend to wildly differ in size, with some such as Boo Buddies being miniature, while others such as the Atomic Boos boast gigantic size.

In Luigi's Mansion, Professor E. Gadd notes that Boos have mysterious powers that increase when they gather together in large groups. While it is difficult to stop them, they can be weakened if one is able to defeat members of the group.

Boos have few predators, their only known threat being a Clubba named Tubba Blubba. This is first seen in Paper Mario, when he began devouring Boos; this, however, may have been his revenge for the countless times the ghosts scared him.

In Paper Mario Goombario states that Boos must have strong facial muscles because of the way they surprise Toads.

Home

Boos typically make their homes in dark forests, such as the Forever Forest and Boo Woods, and tend to be most commonly found in older buildings such as mansions, castles, and Ghost Houses. Although most of them live in such dwellings, they also seem to enjoy wastelands. One of the only known Boo villages lies in Gusty Gulch.

They are typically found groups because their fears make them find strength in numbers.

Allegiance

Though most Boos tend to side with King Boo, they seem to, for the most part, actually stand as neutral. For example, Boos are by now a common enemy in most side-scrolling games; however, in the Paper Mario series and now increasingly in the multiplayer games, Boos have been seen to take the side of the Mushroom Kingdom. Lady Bow, in fact, helped Mario save the kingdom in Paper Mario. In another example, the Boos in the Creepy Steeple from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door attack Mario initially, but later in the game Mario is sent a friendly letter from one of them. King Boo, on the other hand, has several times been shown to wish nothing but terrible things for Luigi (but this could be accredited to Luigi being easily scared, making him a prime target for most Boo antics).

Profiles and Statistics

Boo's Stats and Tattle Information, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Template:Ttydenemy

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, these shy specters can become invisible, making it impossible to attack them for one turn. Mario should try to defeat the Boo with all haste before it can use this attack. Boos don't have much Attack power, but their ability to make themselves transparent and their fairly solid HP ensure that the Boo is no pushover.

Boos in battle also have the ability to make themselves float high in the air (preventing ground attacks such as hammers) and sometimes are found holding Mini Mr. Minis. When seen in the audience, they may throw Boo's Sheets for Mario, or they may float on-stage, choose any character in the battle at random, and make that character invisible for one turn.
