When they are not looked at, they will persue the [[Player|player]], releasing the air, and reduce in size; giving the player the chance to pass through. When looked at, they will inflate by sucking in air, gaining size. They will still chase [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], even when they have no air left. Balloon Boos can be defeated with a [[Blue Shell]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]]. They will only attack the player when the heroes are in the same room as they are.
