:King Boo has never been shown to split up into lots of smaller Boos as far as I'm aware. He's a Boo with a crown - in other words, he's special and not just an average Boo. {{User:Sparks/sig}} 13:26, August 5, 2024 (EDT) | :King Boo has never been shown to split up into lots of smaller Boos as far as I'm aware.

::The Atomic Boo from ''Thousand-Year Door'' ''is'' supposed to be a Big Boo, considering the original Japanese name of Big Boo is "Atomic Teresa" - and that just so happens to be Atomic Boo's Japanese name as well. Considering ''The Thousand-Year Door'' is the ONLY game a Big Boo is confirmed to be made up of several smaller Boos (since that never happened in ''Super Mario World'' at all), this is kind of a weird argument to make, since this isn't supposed to be a common Atomic Boo trait at all (see ''Super Paper Mario'')... and kind of implies that [[Boolossus]] would be an "Atomic Boo" instead? Given that King Boo is big, it does make sense to think that King Boo is a Big Boo... and since Atomic Boo is pretty much an alternate translation for the same enemy as Big Boo, that does technically mean King Boo is an Atomic Boo? I just don't know why the IP insists that King Boo is specifically an Atomic Boo instead of just a Big Boo, since the latter name is a much more common term for the same enemy; not to mention that the game a Big Boo first was named Atomic Boo came ''after'' King Boo's debut appearance, and a certain other King Boo we'll talk about later, to boot.<br>A much ''better'' argument against this is right in the first Luigi's Mansion game, in which King Boo is not quite big at all. [[:File:King Boo Bowser Fight2.png|Here]], for instance, he's shown to be about the same size as a regular-sized Boo. King Boo only became big ever since ''Mario Kart: Double Dash'', and internal data for a prototype release alludes that this was initially supposed to be [[Big Boo (character)|the King Boo from ''Super Mario Sunshine'']] (explaining the different appearance compared to LM!King Boo, and the similar crown to that of SMS!King Boo), who happens to be much larger than the King Boo from ''Luigi's Mansion''. {{User:Arend/sig}} 14:32, August 5, 2024 (EDT) | ::The Atomic Boo from ''Thousand-Year Door'' ''is'' supposed to be a Big Boo, considering the original Japanese name of Big Boo is "Atomic Teresa" - and that just so happens to be Atomic Boo's Japanese name as well.
