When near the cage, the player's character shrinks down and enters it. It is the only course (in the original game) that does not share its theme with another course and has the most encounters with enemies containing Stars, with the Big Boo being fought three times and [[Big Mr. I.]] being fought once. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as howling wind. | ||
In the remake, Big Boo's Haunt is the only main course that [[Yoshi]] cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat [[Boo]]s; this is also the only course to have a [[level]] inside it required to free another playable character, and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being [[Behind the Waterfall]] in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]). | In the remake, Big Boo's Haunt is the only main course that [[Yoshi]] cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat [[Boo]]s; this is also the only course to have a [[level]] inside it required to free [[Luigi|another playable character]], and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being [[Behind the Waterfall]] in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]). | ||

The rooms of the first floor consist of, from left to right, a room with the [[Mad Piano]], a room with a library, a room with a dungeon, a room with a collapsing bridge, and a room with a black pit and some platforms. If the player falls into the pit, it will lead them to the merry-go-round underneath. Once all the Boos and the Big Boo on the first floor are defeated, a staircase to the second floor appears. | ||
The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's [[Star Marker]]. The second door from the left leads to a library with books flying out of the shelves, trying to attack the player. The end of the library leads to the first room from the left, which contains a Power Star. The third room has a wire-frame grate floor above the dungeon room, the fourth room has several [[casket]]s that rise when the player approaches them, and the fifth room contains a bookcase with [[Bookend]]s and a large [[seesaw|tilting platform]] that will drop the player into the merry-go-round if they stand on it for too long. The door in the back of the fifth room leads to a [[Cap Block|blue block]] (or red in the DS version), and a door above on a ledge leads to the third floor. | The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's [[Star Marker]].
