In ''Super Mario World'', they are found only in the [[Donut Ghost House]] and [[Forest Ghost House]]. They are usually transparent, which is when they are harmless, but periodically will turn opaque, which is when they are dangerous, to dive at Mario. They are indestructable and the only way to deal with them is to run past them and enter another room.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Boo Crews are found only in the [[Donut Ghost House]] and [[Forest Ghost House]]. The cloud of Boos is usually transparent, but individual Boos will turn opaque to dive at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. They are harmless while transparent, but dangerous while diving.

In ''Yoshi's Story'' they appear in [[Ghost Castle]]. These tiny ghosts will swoop at Yoshi very rarely, unless he throws an egg at one of the members of the group. Then, all of the Boos will stop in their tracks and swoop at Yoshi. It is impossible to kill all of the Boos, as more will just appear off-screen.  Unlike their ''Super Mario World'' counterparts, they don't turn transparent and can be destroyed.  They also appear as part of a [[Big & Little Boo]] in the stage [[Jelly Pipe]].
