| '''The Big Boo''' is a recurring boss who first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. He is a translucent [[Big Boo]] and secret villain of the game. Despite that, he looks identically like all Big Boos without any differences from them, except that he is white in ''[[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World]]''. The Big Boo is actually the first notable character to be a ghostly boss and the second biggest Boo before the [[Bigger Boo]].

| The Big Boo first appeared in ''Super Mario World''. Here, he is a hidden boss only found in the [[Donut Secret House|Secret Donut Plains Ghost House]], which he inhabits.<ref>''Mario Mania'' pg. 51</ref> He has two normal [[Boo]]s accompany him in battle. The way he behaves is sightly different from that of other Big Boos: The Big Boo floats in the air above Mario rather than chasing him and does not stop when being looked at. The Big Boo can only be injured when he is visible, so Mario has to throw a [[Grab Block]] at him at the right moment. Once hurt, he becomes almost invisible, moves somewhere else and reappears. The Big Boo needs to be hit three times to be defeated. Mario or Luigi can touch the boss without being hurt, but must be wary of the normal Boos. Once The Big Boo is defeated, a new path is revealed on the overworld, leading to [[Star World]].

| The Big Boo reappears in the [[GBA]] [[Super Mario Bros. 3#Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remake]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', again as a boss who Mario has to fight against. He appears only in the [[e-Reader]]'s scanned level [[Doors o' Plenty]] where he plays the exact same role to that of ''Super Mario World'' except this time he could hurt Mario or Luigi by touch. He is again alongside his two Boo allies for assistance in the same way. Instead of using Grab Blocks, Mario must use [[Ice Block]]s and throw at him three times to defeat Big Boo.
