'''Disappearing Boo Buddies''' are indestructable [[Boo]]s found only in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. There are two types.
A '''Disappearing Boo Buddy'''<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=51|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> is a type of [[Boo]] found in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Disappearing Boo Buddies are found only in the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]] and cannot be defeated. They are found in a group randomly scattered throughout the screen and are completely motionless until they simultaneously vanish and reappear elsewhere. The best way to deal with them is to move very slowly to avoid colliding into one. They are similar to [[Boo Crew]]s found in the [[Donut Ghost House]] and [[Forest Ghost House]], but Boo Crews turn transparent rather than disappearing, move rather than staying still, and are a tighter mass.

The first type is found in the [[Donut Ghost House]] and [[Forest Ghost House]].  They appear as a swarm overhead of Mario. 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. The only way to deal with them is to run past them and enter another room.

Similar enemies are [[Boo Buddy|Boo Buddies]] found in [[Ghost Castle]] of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. 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.  They are similar to the first type in ''Super Mario World'' but they don't turn transparent, are smaller, and can be destroyed.  They also appear as part of a [[Big & Little Boo]] in the stage [[Jelly Pipe]].

Variant of Boo

A Disappearing Boo Buddy[1] is a type of Boo found in Super Mario World. Disappearing Boo Buddies are found only in the Sunken Ghost Ship and cannot be defeated. They are found in a group randomly scattered throughout the screen and are completely motionless until they simultaneously vanish and reappear elsewhere. The best way to deal with them is to move very slowly to avoid colliding into one. They are similar to Boo Crews found in the Donut Ghost House and Forest Ghost House, but Boo Crews turn transparent rather than disappearing, move rather than staying still, and are a tighter mass.

In the first chapter of the fourth volume of Super Mario-kun, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi traverse the Sunken Ghost Ship and attempt to bypass the Boos while disguised as a Big Boo, but the three are quickly discovered. Luigi gets possessed by the Boos, and his body is used to hurt his friends, until Mario finds an old Super Leaf in the shipwreck and uses his Raccoon tail to hit Luigi, causing him to vomit out all the Boos. Too weakened by the hit, the Boos do not follow them, hoping the long, tall room that the heroes entered would defeat them.
