The '''Boo Mushroom''' is a type of [[Mushroom]] that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and turns [[Mario]] into [[Boo Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into Boo Luigi. It is a white mushroom with a [[Boo]]-like face. It is the least used power-up in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', found only in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]], and the [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]]. It is used only once in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', in the [[Boo Moon Galaxy]].
The '''Boo Mushroom''' is a [[power-up]] featured in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', which turns [[Mario]] into [[Boo Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into Boo Luigi. It appears as a white mushroom with a [[Boo]]'s face.


==Powers==
The Boo Mushroom gives Mario the ability to float in midair and move through specific types of barriers by using the [[Spin]] command to become temporarily intangible. Negatively, Boo Mario attracts other Boos towards him, who can harm him and revert him back; exposing Mario to a light beam will also get rid of the power-up.
The Boo Mushroom gives Mario the power to do several things that Boos can do, such as float through walls and fly. He can become intangible if the player shakes the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] and he can then go through the object. Another effect of being Boo Mario is that Mario will attract other Boos towards it and those Boos will make him lose the form by touching him. The only other way to become Mario from Boo Mario is to go into a light beam.
