They are a type of [[Boo]] capable of transforming into a [[block]] called a Ghost Block<ref name=MM/> when threatened.

Boo Buddy Blocks are enemies in ''Super Mario World''. When looked at, a Boo Buddy Block seems to be a normal, gray block but with a unique stone design. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] takes his eyes off it, however, it slowly begins to transform into a Boo and follow him. When the Boo Buddy Block is in its block form, it can be [[jump]]ed off. Doing this is required to clear a certain [[Ghost House]], the [[Choco-Ghost House]], as Mario or Luigi must lure several Boo Buddy Blocks into the proper positions so that he can jump off them to reach the high ledge where the exit door awaits.

'''Pink Boos'''<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=20|publisher=Prima Games|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They resemble [[Red Boo]]s due to their color. Like normal Boos in this game, Pink Boos are unaffected if Mario looks at them, instead turning into Ghost Blocks only if sprayed with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]'s water or a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s [[juice]]. Ghost Blocks look very similar to [[Yoshi Platform]]s, though their eyes can still be seen on one side. After a lengthy period of time, they revert to their normal form. When not a block, they meanderingly patrol a small area in a similar manner to the Boos in the game, though in a less wide range. They appear solely in [[Hotel Delfino]], specifically around the central pillar in [[The Hotel Lobby's Secret]] and over a large pool-like bathtub under an air vent in [[Mysterious Hotel Delfino]].

Boo Blocks are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Their Ghost Block form is redesigned with pink and white stripes rather than being a solid gray block. In addition, they take a different appearance from normal Boos when a Yoshi is looking away.

In ''[[Super Mario World: Mario to Yoshi no Bōken Land]]'', when the Boos turn into Ghost Blocks, they still show their faces, unlike in the original game, where their faces disappear.
