'''Balloon Boos''' are large relatives to [[Big Boo]]s. They are small, and act like normal Boos, but if looked at, they will start sucking in air. The more air they suck in, the larger they get. If the player turns away from them, they will start to chase the player, letting out the air they sucked in in the process, and thus decreasing in size again. They can't pass through walls, and will not notice Mario unless he appears in their area.

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 continue 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]].
