'''Boo Guys''' are ghostly-looking, [[Boo]]-like [[Shy Guy]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are white and wear the same masks as other Shy Guys, and have a wispy tail similar to Boos. The ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' [[Nintendo Power#Player's Guides|Player's Guide]] describes these enemies as "basically Boo babies",<ref name=guide>{{cite|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126}}}}</ref> whereas at least one Japanese guide instead calls them Shy Guy ghosts.<ref name=YNI>{{cite|language=ja|publisher=Shogakukan|title=「ヨッシー New アイランド 任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Yoshi's New Island Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'')|page={{file link|Yoshi New Island Shogakukan P26.jpg|26}}}}</ref>

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

Boo Guys first appear in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and are first found in [[Bigger Boo's Fort]]. As with Shy Guys, Boo Guys hover around slowly, and can also spawn from [[Warp Pipe]]s; colliding with one will cause [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to drop [[Baby Mario]]. To defeat a Boo Guy, the Yoshi can stomp on it or swallow it to make [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s. The Boo Guy can also be spat out causing it to roll on the ground and destroy any enemies in its path until it falls offscreen or collides with a wall.

In the background of some levels, particularly fort and castle levels, there are harmful traps that are handled by Boo Guys; the Boo Guys themselves are isolated within confined spaces in walls. Boo Guys that handle a [[ball and chain (windup)|ball and chain]] will drop it on the ground periodically. Once the ball hits the ground, the Boo Guy then takes time to wind the chain to pull it back up, dropping it again once it reaches the top. Other Boo Guys push a wheel in groups to operate a long, revolving [[Spinner|spiked ball]] or other mechanism. Sometimes, Boo Guys are stationed in long rows in the ceilings and pass bombs from one to another, dropping them on Yoshi when he is underneath ([[Relay Heihō]]).

Boo Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Though Boo Guys remain unchanged, only the regular variants appear. The wheel-pushing ones are replaced with normal Shy Guys.
