They are encountered only in {{world-link|4|ghostn|World 4-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, which contains five of them. They appear large at first, but when looked away from, they approach the player while expelling air and shrinking; otherwise, they stop and inflate by inhaling air at a rather slow rate, until they have assumed their massive appearance once more.

'''Balloon Boos''' are similar relatives to [[Big Boo]]s that appear only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', encountered in [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]]-[[Ghost House]]. They are [[Boo]]s with pink cheeks and their tail resembles a balloon's instead of a ghost's. They will appear large at first, but when ignored, they will approach to the player, while expelling air, and reduce in size; allowing the player to take advantage to progress. When observed, they will stop and inflate by inhaling air at a rather slow rate, also increasing in size, until it has assume its massive appearance once more. Obviously, the player must be cautious to not come into close contact with the Balloon Boo as it expands. They will proceed to chase [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], even when they have reached their minimum size. Balloon Boos can be defeated with a [[Blue Shell]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]]. Unlike regular Boos however, they will only react to the Mario Brothers, when they are in the same room.

*When [[Mega Mario]] or Mega Luigi collides with a Balloon Boo, they pop and soar away in circles, somewhat reminiscent to knocking out a [[Goal Pole]].

*A similar species in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', called the [[Boohemoth]], has a small resemblance to a Balloon Boo, but does not act like one.
