“That scaredy-cat Luigi has made it this far... Oh, we're so frightened! I guess it's our turn, then... All right, Boos, let's assume our real form... But first, how about giving him a little scare!”

—Boolossus, Luigi's Mansion

Boolossus, Jumbo Ghost, is a Big Boo and one of the portrait ghosts in the game Luigi's Mansion and the 3DS remake of the game, as well as the final boss of Luigi's Mansion 3's ScareScraper mode. This ghost is composed of a group of smaller Boos. Although these Boos are normally timid and shy, when they form into Boolossus, all their fears disappear. The Boo is a servant of King Boo, leader of the Boos, and is the guardian of the third area of Luigi's Mansion. Its name is a portmanteau on the words "Boo" and "colossus", the latter referencing its massive size. Unlike other Boos, Boolossus has glowing yellow eyes. In the gallery, the portrait number of Boolossus is 22.

History

Luigi's Mansion series

Luigi's Mansion

Original artwork, where Boolossus has two fangs.

Before the events of Luigi's Mansion, Boolossus was captured by Professor E. Gadd during the professor's travels around the world. E. Gadd used his Portrificationizer to transform Boolossus into a painting and placed the painting in his gallery of other portrait ghosts. However, the capture of Boolossus greatly angered King Boo. In retaliation, King Boo led his Boo minions in an assault on Professor E. Gadd's laboratory. The Boos reversed the setting on E. Gadd's Portrificationizer and reverted Boolossus' state. King Boo then ordered that all the other portrait ghosts that Professor E. Gadd caught should be freed as well. Eventually, after all the portrait ghosts were released, King Boo created a mansion, right next to E. Gadd's laboratory in Boo Woods.

In Luigi's Mansion, Boolossus, along with the other Boos (including King Boo), rests in a secret area under the Storage Room. When Luigi activates a hidden door in the Storage Room, the Boos spring out. However, when they notice E. Gadd's Poltergust 3000, a ghost-catching vacuum device, on Luigi's back, the Boos decide to run off and hide in the mansion.

Eventually, as Luigi progresses through the mansion, he makes it to the Balcony. However, if he has captured less than 20 Boos, he will be blocked in the hallway leading there by a particularly-transparent Boo, referring to itself as "the mysterious power of the Boos," which will then blow him back to the Foyer. If Luigi has captured at least 20 Boos, he can exit the mansion to the Balcony, where the Boo Radar on the Game Boy Horror starts flashing intensely, indicating a powerful Boo presence. To the left, fifteen Little Boos are circling each other. Once Luigi approaches, they taunt him, and begin to circle around him. They then transport him to an ethereal version of the Balcony, where the Boos merge into Boolossus and swoop down upon him.

During the battle, Boolossus attempts to slam into Luigi. To defeat Boolossus, Luigi must use his Poltergust 3000 to pull Boolossus into one of the two stationary unicorn ice sculptures located on the balcony. When Boolossus touches the statue's sharp horn, it pops, separating into the fifteen Little Boos. Luigi must then absorb an Ice Elemental Ghost from the ice sculpture and spray frost at the Little Boos, freezing them. This enables him to suck them into his Poltergust 3000. Eventually, the remaining Little Boos will reform into a smaller and faster, but weaker Boolossus. As more and more Little Boos are caught, the other Little Boos become more wary of the Poltergust's icy spray and flee when Luigi gets too close to them.

After capturing Boolossus, Luigi acquires the key to the West Wing of the mansion. Defeating the boss counts as capturing a total of fifteen of the fifty released Boos. After the battle, Luigi visits Professor E. Gadd's lab and turns Boolossus into a portrait.

A picture of Boolossus that says "Get out of here!" appears in a poster in the washroom on the second floor, and in the projection screen in the Projection Room if the player tries to suck them with the Poltergust 3000. Pull them for a long time makes Luigi fall on his back and lose five HP.

Boolossus's appearance in the 3DS remake of the game, both in-game and in stock artwork, is largely the same as in the original GameCube game, with the only notable difference being that Boolossus and his composite Boos have four teeth in the remake, instead of two like in the original game.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Main article: Big Boo#Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

The Big Boo in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Although Boolossus does not appear in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, a Big Boo comprised of ten regular Boos appears as a boss in the final mansion of the game, Treacherous Mansion, in the mission Ambush Maneuver. It is similarly fought by splitting it back up into its individual Boos, then capturing them separately. Additionally, in the Japanese version, it shares its name, Jumbo Teresa (ジャンボテレサ), with that of Boolossus.^[1]

Luigi's Mansion 3

Boolossus in Luigi's Mansion 3

Boolossus reappears in Luigi's Mansion 3 as the final floor's boss in ScareScraper, this time comprised of sixteen normal Boos.

This incarnation of Boolossus borrows and alters many attacks from the main game's final boss (King Boo). These attacks include lightning bolts which strike glowing roof tiles, a long sweep of the tongue which can only be dodge with Burst, a body slam shockwave avoided likewise, and a volley of Bombs (including larger blue varieties depending on how many players participate). Boolossus may also phase through the roof's floor and move in a preset pattern, or may summon red-hot arrows to the roof's perimeter to target the players it battles. The smaller Boolossus shrinks, the faster its movement becomes and the more lightning bolts it summons, though its tongue becomes shorter and shockwaves smaller as a result.

As in the first game, Boolossus must be broken up into its component Boos before it can be sucked up. This is done by sucking up the bombs Boolossus expels and firing them back into its mouth with the Poltergust G-00. Once Boolossus explodes, the remaining Boos inside will fall onto the roof, able to damage players they land on but otherwise completely harmless. While these Boos are dazed, players must suck up their tongues and Slam each into the ground three times to defeat them individually. Unlike the main game's Boos, these Boos are invulnerable to the Dark-Light Device and Strobulb, and once the surviving Boos wake from unconsciousness, they will fly to the far end of the roof and reassemble into a proportionally smaller Boolossus. Once all Boos on the roof are defeated, ScareScraper is completed.

Boolossus shares its voice clips with King Boo in this game.

Mario Kart series

Boolossus' gold frame portrait makes a cameo on the walls of Luigi's Mansion battle course of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Aside from Chauncey, a few gold frame portraits of Boolossus are shown in the mansion segment of the Luigi's Mansion course in Mario Kart DS. These cameos were removed when the course was ported to Mario Kart 7 and remained missing in Mario Kart Tour, with both games instead using different artwork of Boos from various games.

Trivia

Boolossus on the Nintendo UNO Draw 4 card.

Boolossus appears in the Nintendo UNO cards on the "Draw 4" card.
In the European version's Hidden Mansion, Luigi rides the Poltergust 3000 much like a bumper car during the Boolossus battle. This provides faster transportation, but also less traction.^[2]
Boolossus is the only portrait ghost to not have HP.

Gadd's [[Poltergust 3000]], a ghost-catching vacuum device, on Luigi's back, the Boos, including Boolossus and King Boo, decide to run off and hide in the mansion instead of challenging Luigi.
+Boolossus reappears in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' as the final floor's boss in [[ScareScraper]], this time comprised of sixteen normal Boos.
-Eventually, as Luigi progresses through the mansion, Boolossus attempts to capture Luigi on behalf of his leader, [[King Boo]]. When Luigi reaches the [[Balcony (3F)|Balcony]] on the third floor, Boolossus decides to make his move. While on the Balcony, the [[Boo Radar]] on the [[Game Boy Horror]] starts flashing intensely, indicating a powerful Boo presence. Soon, the fifteen Boos that make up Boolossus appear before Luigi, circling and taunting him. After taunting him, they merge into Boolossus and whisk Luigi away to the balcony arena, starting the battle.

Eventually, Boolossus reforms with a lower number of Boos. Although smaller than before, he resumes the fight against Luigi. He becomes faster every time several of the Boos are sucked up. However, if Luigi keeps popping him and freezing the small Boos, he can slowly drain Boolossus's power. As more and more Boos are caught, the other Boos become more wary of the Poltergust's ice blasts and flee when the ice blasts get too close to them. As such, they have to be pulled closer to Luigi's position with the vacuum device before shooting them with a stream of icy mist.
