A '''Boo Guy''' is a type of [[Shy Guy]] ghost that first appeared in the [[game]] ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. As its name suggests, Boo Guys are undead Shy Guys that somewhat resemble a cross between a [[Boo]] and a Shy Guy. These ghosts greatly resemble the average Shy Guy, although Boo Guys are completely pale and lack feet. Instead of feet, Boo Guys have a wispy tail similar to a Boo. As such, Boo Guys have the ability to hover just above the ground in order to move around. Presumably, Boo Guys are the spirits of deceased Shy Guys, although it is possible these ghosts are created independently of a creature’s death (as Boos themselves may not be the ghosts of the deceased, but simply an undead species capable of an unknown means of reproduction). Like Shy Guys, Boo Guys are individually weak, but can prove to be a threat in large numbers, especially since Boo Guys have shown the ability to organize and strategize with others of their kind, as well as operate advanced machinery.
'''Boo Guys''' are ghostly-looking, [[Boo]]-like [[Shy Guy]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are white and wear the same masks as other Shy Guys, and have a wispy tail similar to Boos. The ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' [[Nintendo Power#Player's Guides|Player's Guide]] describes these enemies as "basically Boo babies",<ref name=guide>{{cite|language=en|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|126}}}}</ref> whereas at least one Japanese guide instead calls them Shy Guy ghosts.<ref name=YNI>{{cite|language=ja|publisher=Shogakukan|title=「ヨッシー New アイランド 任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Yoshi's New Island Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'')|page={{file link|Yoshi New Island Shogakukan P26.jpg|26}}}}</ref>

Like their corporeal counterparts, Boo Guys were allied with [[Kamek]] and [[Baby Bowser]]’s early [[Koopa Troop]] during the events of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. As such, these ghosts attempted to damage members of the [[Yoshi clan]] in order to give Kamek’s [[Toadies]] the opportunity to capture [[Baby Mario]]. Like Shy Guys, Boo Guys emerged from various [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] located around [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi’s Island]]. They wandered around back and forth to attack the dinosaurs, as did their living counterparts. Boo Guys could easily be destroyed by any attack, including the common [[stomp]] attack. Since Boo Guys often continuously emerged from pipes, the Yoshis could eat and swallow the ghosts to refill their [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] supplies. Some Boo Guys were stationed inside [[castle]]s, operating mechanical traps designed to stop [[Yoshi]] and his friends. These Boo Guys hid in the walls and ceilings of the castle, and thus could not be defeated by any attack. Regular Boo Guys have two attacking differences from their living counterparts. The first is that they sometimes follow the [[player]] for short distances. Second, when spit out, they plow through fellow Boo Guys instead of just one collision and both Shy Guys die.
[[File:Boo Guy SMW2YI sprite.png|frame|left]]
Boo Guys first appear in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and are first found in [[Bigger Boo's Fort]]. As with Shy Guys, Boo Guys hover around slowly, and can also spawn from [[Warp Pipe]]s; colliding with one will cause [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to drop [[Baby Mario]]. To defeat a Boo Guy, the Yoshi can stomp on it or swallow it to make [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s. The Boo Guy can also be spat out causing it to roll on the ground and destroy any enemies in its path until it falls offscreen or collides with a wall.


[[Image:Shy_Guy_mace.PNG|thumb|left|A Boo Guy operating a [[mace]].]]
[[File:Shy Guy mace.png|frame|left]]
Boo Guys employed a variety of traps in the game, including [[maces]]. Individual Boo Guys operated a single mace attached to a long chain. When a Boo Guy spotted a Yoshi, the ghost would drop the mace from the ceiling, hoping to crush the dinosaur. However, the Yoshi would have to be directly under the mace for the attack to be effective, and the Boo Guys tended to simply drop their maces continuously, instead of dropping the weapon at the most opportune moment. Since the weapon was heavy, it would take some time for the Boo Guy to pull the ball up to attempt another attack, allowing the Yoshis to pass safely underneath the weapon. This was the only way to get past these weapons, as the chain itself would actually damage the heroic dinosaurs. Groups of Boo Guys could operate a much more menacing device, a long, spiked mace that revolved in a circular path. Again, timing was key. Since the Boo Guys operated the weapon at a constant pace, the dinosaurs could time their [[jumps]] to pass over or under the dangerous spikes. Lastly, some Boo Guys were stationed in long rows in the ceilings of castles. The chain of ghosts would pass a bomb from one Boo Guy to the next, dropping the bomb when a Yoshi came close by underneath. The Boo Guys would only pass one bomb at a time, and would only bring out a new weapon when the previous bomb had exploded. With fancy footwork, the dinosaurs could avoid the bomb, although at times this proved to be difficult. A Yoshi could perform a [[Ground Pound]] to force the Boo Guy currently holding the bomb to accidentally drop the weapon, causing the explosive to detonate on the ground below. This would also visibly shock all the Boo Guys in the chain. After dropping the bomb, the unfortunate Boo Guy would eventually hang its head down in shame, while the other ghosts shook their heads in disappointment. This act would give the Yoshis enough time to pass underneath the row of Boo Guys before they grabbed their next bomb and began passing the explosive down the line.
In the background of some levels, particularly fort and castle levels, there are harmful traps that are handled by Boo Guys; the Boo Guys themselves are isolated within confined spaces in walls. Boo Guys that handle a [[ball and chain (windup)|ball and chain]] will drop it on the ground periodically. Once the ball hits the ground, the Boo Guy then takes time to wind the chain to pull it back up, dropping it again once it reaches the top. Other Boo Guys push a wheel in groups to operate a long, revolving [[Spinner|spiked ball]] or other mechanism. Sometimes, Boo Guys are stationed in long rows in the ceilings and pass bombs from one to another, dropping them on Yoshi when he is underneath ([[Relay Heihō]]).

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
The Boo Guys reappeared in the game ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Boo Guys remained relatively unchanged from their ''SMW2'' versions. However, in this game, Boo Guys were allied with King [[Bowser]], the grown-up Baby Bowser, who had traveled back in time to the Yoshi’s Island of the past in order to capture the [[Star Children]] and use their power to take over the world. As before, Boo Guys attacked members of the Yoshi clan to make the dinosaurs drop their babies, be it Baby Mario, [[Baby Peach]], [[Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Baby Wario]], or Baby Bowser (who the Boo Guys coincidentally worked for just prior to the events of this game). Once dropped, the future Kamek’s Toadies would attempt to capture the crying Star Child and bring it before King Bowser. It is unknown if these Boo Guys traveled with Bowser from the future, or existed in the past and allied themselves with the [[Koopa]] king when he arrived in their time.
Boo Guys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Though Boo Guys remain unchanged, only the regular variants appear. The wheel-pushing ones are replaced with normal Shy Guys.
 
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Boo Guys return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they have multiple roles as in their original appearance. Boo Guys that operate traps are seen early in the game and mostly appear in fort and castle-based courses. However, individual Boo Guys that act as enemies only appear in the level [[Crumble Rock Rumble]].

Boo Guys appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. They are found in [[Toadwood Forest]]. In battle, Boo Guys attack by splitting into two transparent copies: one is real, and the other is fake, and only the real Boo Guy can harm Mario or Luigi. They attack by rolling into Mario or Luigi, pointing at the target brother prior to attacking.

Boo Guys return in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and can be eaten by Yoshi, forming a white [[yarn ball]]. In this game, Boo Guys are shown levitating at set heights higher off the ground than in previous appearances. In the level [[Spooky Scraps! Don't Get Spooked!]], Boo Guys turn into a spooky shadow with sharp teeth when behind the scraps; in this state, they chase Yoshi and cannot be eaten.

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Shy Guys reappeared as ghosts with pitchforks (likely a reference to [[Beezo]]s). To defeat them, Luigi had to suck up the Shy Guy's mask before he could suck it into his vacuum. Strangely, this is the only type of Shy Guy that has been seen with its mask off. Also, even with the mask off, only its eyes are visible. These are not known as Boo Guys - rather, they are Shy Guy ghosts, which is closer to their Japanese name.

Boo Guys are ghostly-looking, Boo-like Shy Guys that first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They are white and wear the same masks as other Shy Guys, and have a wispy tail similar to Boos. The Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Player's Guide describes these enemies as "basically Boo babies",[1] whereas at least one Japanese guide instead calls them Shy Guy ghosts.[2]

History[edit]

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Boo Guy

Boo Guys first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and are first found in Bigger Boo's Fort. As with Shy Guys, Boo Guys hover around slowly, and can also spawn from Warp Pipes; colliding with one will cause Yoshi to drop Baby Mario. To defeat a Boo Guy, the Yoshi can stomp on it or swallow it to make Yoshi Eggs. The Boo Guy can also be spat out causing it to roll on the ground and destroy any enemies in its path until it falls offscreen or collides with a wall.

In the background of some levels, particularly fort and castle levels, there are harmful traps that are handled by Boo Guys; the Boo Guys themselves are isolated within confined spaces in walls. Boo Guys that handle a ball and chain will drop it on the ground periodically. Once the ball hits the ground, the Boo Guy then takes time to wind the chain to pull it back up, dropping it again once it reaches the top. Other Boo Guys push a wheel in groups to operate a long, revolving spiked ball or other mechanism. Sometimes, Boo Guys are stationed in long rows in the ceilings and pass bombs from one to another, dropping them on Yoshi when he is underneath (Relay Heihō).

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Boo Guys reappear in Yoshi's Island DS. Though Boo Guys remain unchanged, only the regular variants appear. The wheel-pushing ones are replaced with normal Shy Guys.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Boo Guys return in Yoshi's New Island, where they have multiple roles as in their original appearance. Boo Guys that operate traps are seen early in the game and mostly appear in fort and castle-based courses. However, individual Boo Guys that act as enemies only appear in the level Crumble Rock Rumble.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Boo Guys appear in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are found in Toadwood Forest. In battle, Boo Guys attack by splitting into two transparent copies: one is real, and the other is fake, and only the real Boo Guy can harm Mario or Luigi. They attack by rolling into Mario or Luigi, pointing at the target brother prior to attacking.

Ghoul Guys, stronger and faster versions of the Boo Guys, appear in Shroob Castle.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

A Boo Guy in the Scrapbook Theater
A Boo Guy in Yoshi's Woolly World

Boo Guys return in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World and can be eaten by Yoshi, forming a white yarn ball. In this game, Boo Guys are shown levitating at set heights higher off the ground than in previous appearances. In the level Spooky Scraps! Don't Get Spooked!, Boo Guys turn into a spooky shadow with sharp teeth when behind the scraps; in this state, they chase Yoshi and cannot be eaten.
