'''Ghost Houses''', listed in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' manual as '''Haunted Houses''', are large buildings where various [[Boo]]s live. Since the [[player]] can save his or her game every time one of these houses is completed in ''Super Mario World'', it is encouraged that Ghost Houses are returned to regularly as a way to save progress. There are six Ghost Houses in [[Dinosaur Land]]: two in [[Donut Plains]], one inside the [[Vanilla Dome]] areas, one in the [[Forest of Illusion]], one on [[Chocolate Island]], and one in [[Valley of Bowser]]. As with [[Castle]]s, [[Yoshi]] will stay outside of the Ghost House when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] enters. The given reason is Yoshi's fear of ghosts, but the technical reason is because the doors inside ghost houses (and castles) can't be entered while riding Yoshi, and some enemies located inside do not work properly with Yoshi.
