In ''Luigi's Mansion'', Boolossus, along with the other Boos (including King Boo), rests in a secret area under the [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]]. When [[Luigi]] activates a hidden door in the Storage Room, the Boos spring out. However, when they notice E. Gadd's [[Poltergust 3000]], a ghost-catching vacuum device, on Luigi's back, the Boos decide to run off and hide in the mansion.

During the battle, Boolossus attempts to slam into Luigi. To defeat Boolossus, Luigi must use his Poltergust 3000 to pull Boolossus into one of the two stationary unicorn ice sculptures located on the balcony. When Boolossus touches the statue's sharp horn, it pops, separating into the fifteen Little Boos. Luigi must then absorb an [[Elemental Ghost|Ice Elemental Ghost]] from the ice sculpture and spray frost at the Little Boos, freezing them. This enables him to suck them into his Poltergust 3000. Eventually, the remaining Little Boos will reform into a smaller and faster, but weaker Boolossus. As more and more Little Boos are caught, the other Little Boos become more wary of the Poltergust's icy spray and flee when Luigi gets too close to them.

After capturing Boolossus, Luigi acquires the key to the West Wing of the mansion. Defeating the boss counts as capturing a total of fifteen of the fifty released Boos. After the battle, Luigi visits Professor E. Gadd's lab and turns Boolossus into a portrait.

====''Luigi's Mansion 3''====

As in the first game, Boolossus must be broken up into its component Boos before it can be sucked up. This is done by sucking up the bombs Boolossus expels and firing them back into its mouth with the [[Poltergust G-00]]. Once Boolossus explodes, the remaining Boos inside will fall onto the roof, able to damage players they land on but otherwise completely harmless. While these Boos are dazed, players must suck up their tongues and [[Slam]] each into the ground three times to defeat them individually. Unlike the main game's Boos, these Boos are invulnerable to the [[Dark-Light Device]] and [[Strobulb]], and once the surviving Boos wake from unconsciousness, they will fly to the far end of the roof and reassemble into a proportionally smaller Boolossus. Once all Boos on the roof are defeated, ScareScraper is completed.
