'''Bigger Boo''' was the boss of the World 2-4, the third castle in [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]. He started as a regular [[Boo]], until [[Kamek Koopa|Kamek]] enhanced him with magic, making him grow to colossal proportions. Despite his great size, Bigger Boo was just as shy as any other Boo, and would cover his face if looked at. However, he also turned transparent when looked at, meaning he could not be attacked. To defeat him, the [[Yellow Yoshi]] ricocheted [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] of a wall, hitting Bigger Boo when he was visible. Bigger Boo inflated with each egg that hit him. After enough eggs hit him, he exploded in a brilliant fashion, disappearing from this world.

'''Bigger Boo''' is the mid-boss of [[World 2 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 2]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is encountered by [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] at the end of World 2-4, [[Bigger Boo's Fort]], starting out as a normal [[Big Boo]]. However, [[Kamek]] arrives and uses his magic to increase the size of the Boo. He does not attack Yoshi, instead floating around the room and chasing him when he is not looking, and he can still be stopped by facing his direction, though he also turns intangible, meaning that he cannot be attacked. The player must toss [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] in a way that they ricochet off the walls and into him while facing away from him, though with each hit Bigger Boo increases in size. After hitting him five times, Bigger Boo's size increases to a point where he explodes, defeating him.
