The Big Boos, formatted as '''The Big “Boo”''' in-game and also named '''Big Blue Boo''' in various [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guides]]<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|page=51|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Super NES'' Player's Guide|page=15|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> to differentiate from the Big Boo boss,<ref>{{cite|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide|date=August 1991|page=72-73}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''Super NES'' Player's Guide|page=12|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In the game, Big Boos inhabit the various [[Ghost House]]s located around [[Dinosaur Land]]. They first appear in the [[Donut Secret House]]. They are four times bigger than a normal Boo Buddy in both height and width, but they still have the same mannerisms of their smaller counterparts, meaning that when looked at, they hide behind their arms, occasionally peeking to see if they are still being looked at. However, if [[Mario]]'s or [[Luigi]]'s back is turned, a Big Boo attacks him from behind. Big Boos are much more difficult to pass than their smaller brethren. As such, Mario or Luigi usually has to use a [[trampoline|Jumping Board]] to [[jump]] over them. However, if Mario or Luigi can get a [[dash|running]] start, he can usually [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]] over a Big Boo. Additionally, if there is room, the brothers can use a [[Cape Feather|Cape]] to [[fly]] over a Big Boo or perform a sliding attack during descent to defeat the Big Boo.

Atomic Boos appear infrequently in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Only one appears in [[Merlee's Basement]], where it is considerably weaker than the one in ''The Thousand-Year Door''. This Atomic Boo attacks the player by charging at them while they are facing away from them, turning intangible if it is faced. As such, it attacks like the Big Boos of the ''Super Mario'' series, albeit somewhat slower than usual, as well as being susceptible to jumps. Multiple Atomic Boos occasionally appear in the [[Mansion Patrol]] [[minigame]]; though slower than regular Boos. Defeating one gives many more points than defeating a regular Boo.

In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', whenever [[Boo]] gets an [[Eagle]], [[Albatross]], or [[Hole-in-One]], the animation shows multiple Boos combine with it to form a Big Boo.
