The '''Spooky Speedster''' (referred to as '''Spooky''' in his trading card description) is a [[List of characters|character]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is an [[Big Boo|Atomic Boo]] who wears a helmet and an orange visor. The Spooky Speedster is first encountered in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], where [[Mario]] races him in the Boo Race Zone during [[A Very Spooky Sprint]], and reappears in [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]]. When Mario meets the Spooky Speedster, he calls the [[Power Star]] "it," assuming Mario is also after "it," and when at the start of a race, the Spooky Speedster pulls his visor down over his eyes. In both cases, when Mario is first to cross the finish area, the Spooky Speedster gives him the Power Star, otherwise he loses a life.

Along with [[Cosmic Mario]], the Spooky Speedster is a rough equivalent to [[Koopa the Quick]] and [[Il Piantissimo]], characters who similarly race Mario for a reward.

==Trivia==

*The theme that plays when the Spooky Speedster is racing Mario is a 3/4-time arrangement of the standard minigame theme.
*During the race, when the Spooky Speedster is close to Mario, drums play with the music.
