Stretches first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Stretches are enemies encountered in {{world-link|3|fortress|World 3-Fortress 2}} 2 and {{world-link|6|fortress|World 6-Fortress 3}} 3. Stretches can often be found in groups, and only appear from a unique, ghostly white platform. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] tries to pass a Stretch, it rises from the top and bottom of its platform and tries to hit him by moving left to right. Stretches can be defeated only with a [[Super Star|Starman]] or [[hammer]]s thrown by [[Hammer Mario]].

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Stretches are found exclusively in [[fortress]]es, and they first appear in the level {{world-link|3|fortress|World 3-Fortress 2}} 2. Stretches can often be found in groups. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] try to pass a Stretch, it rises from the top and bottom of its platform and tries to hit them by moving left to right.

After a long absence, Stretches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS port]] (verbally referred to as "Boos"), and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In the course editor, a Boo will automatically become a Stretch if it is placed on top of or just below a solid [[block]]. In this game, they can be placed on any surface, and will pop up more periodically, making them more of an enemy than in their original appearance from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Their appearance is slightly different, and they are not connected to a white platform anymore. New sprites for Stretches have been made in all styles. However, they cannot accept [[Super Mushroom]]s as attempting to give them a Super Mushroom will turn the Stretch into a [[Big Boo]] rather than bigger Stretches, and giving them wings will make them faster. Stretches can be defeated in ''Super Mario Maker'' like normal Boos, with either a [[Super Star]] or a [[Goomba's Shoe]].

In {{world-link|7|fortress|World 7-Fortress 1}} 1, Stretches themselves do not appear, as the entire castle is devoid of enemies aside from Boom Boom. However, the white platforms that would contain them do appear.

After a long absence, Stretches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In the course editor, a Boo will automatically become a Stretch if it is placed on top of or just below a solid [[block]]. Due to this trait, they are referred to by labels and the editor voice simply as '''Boos''' in ''Super Mario Maker'', as they do not have a separate selection icon; they are the only enemy variation in the game to have a trait like this. This was fixed in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', where they are correctly referred to as Stretch.

Stretches reappear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', where they are usually found in [[Ghost House]]s and act like they did in ''Super Mario Maker''. They have the same appearance as the Stretches in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.

A single Stretch appears in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' short "[[In the Swim! Fun and Sun Fashions]]" in an advertisement for swimwear, which depicts it lifting weights on a beach. The Stretch is considerably different than its in-game counterparts, featuring only one face markedly different from that of a Boo's, hands and feet, and a uniform Z shape.
