| '''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 is the leader of the Boos. He is also an ally of Bowser, King of the Koopas, yet it is not known that he is one of Bowser's servants.

| ==History==

| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario World====
| |
| [[File:Donut Secret House.PNG|thumb|left|The Big Boo's fight with Mario in ''Super Mario World''.]]
| |
| The Big Boo first debuted in ''Super Mario World'', he is a hidden boss only found in the [[Donut Secret House|Secret Donut Plains Ghost House]], where 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 around Mario, rather than chasing him. 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 will become almost invisible, moving somewhere else and reappear. The Big Boo needs to be hit three times to be defeated. Mario or Luigi could touch the boss without being hurt, instead they must be wary of the normal Boos. Once The Big Boo is defeated, the new path to [[Star World]] will be shown.

| ====''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World====
| |
| In ''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World'', The Big Boo is actually seen to be really white and is much visible than translucent when he is visible.
| |
| <br clear=all>
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3====
| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ==Boo Leadership==
| |
| The Big Boo is also the leader of the Boos. Although he commands a large band of Boos, not all Boos call The Big Boo their leader. Some Boos work directly for Bowser or King Boo. These Boos from Bowser's [[Koopa Troop]] are most likely the Boo enemies that have appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' before The Big Boo's debut, while the rest of them are his before King Boo's debut and are not his after King Boo's debut. Yet, The Big Boo's troops are affiliated with King Boos since ''Super Mario 64 DS''. Despite that, he still leads the Boos.
