A '''Boo Blah'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|language=en-us|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page=[[Media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126]]|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is a type of ghost that appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]) and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. This creature sticks to the ceiling or the floor and stretches out periodically, similarly to [[Stretch]]es from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Boo Blahs are generally invincible, though they hurt the player only if they make contact with them while they are extended. [[Stomp]]ing them stuns them for a brief period of time, and by holding the [[jump]] button, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can bounce off them. They can be defeated by using a [[POW Block]] or a [[Winged Cloud Maker|cloud]] item. Also, there is an [[list of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|unused]] variant that has a [[Spark|Piro Dangle]] on its head, which was used in an earlier build of the game.<ref>{{cite|author=potatoTeto|date=July 24, 2020|url=x.com/potatoTeto/status/1286815393521078272|title=A post featuring gameplay of a Yoshi's Island prototype|publisher=X|accessdate=July 24, 2020}}</ref>

Colored Boo Blahs appear in both of the later versions of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' in the optional [[zeldawiki:Color Dungeon|Color Dungeon]]. For ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'', they are localized as '''Camo Goblins''',<ref>Hollinger, Elizabeth M., and James M. Ratkos. ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 106.</ref> and for the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, they are localized as '''Goo Specters'''.<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Dreamer Art Book''</ref> They appear in red, green, and blue versions and disguise in their small forms against same-colored floors, pursuing [[Link]] before stretching out. Green Goo Specters appear in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom}}'', and can be copied as an {{iw|zeldawiki|echo}}.
