The '''Boo Mushroom''' is a type of [[Mushroom]] that appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' and turns [[Mario]] into [[Boo Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Boo Luigi]]. It's a white mushroom with a [[Boo]]-like face. When Mario or Luigi obtain this Mushroom, he will transform into Boo Mario or [[Boo]]
The '''Boo Mushroom''' is a [[power-up]] featured in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', which turns [[Mario]] into [[Boo Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into Boo Luigi. It appears as a white mushroom with a [[Boo]]'s face.
Luigi. It is the least used power-up in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', found only in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]], and the [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]]. It is used only once in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', in the [[Boo Moon Galaxy]].


==Powers==
The Boo Mushroom gives Mario the ability to float in midair and move through specific types of barriers by using the [[Spin]] command to become temporarily intangible. Negatively, Boo Mario attracts other Boos towards him, who can harm him and revert him back; exposing Mario to a light beam will also get rid of the power-up.
The Boo Mushroom turns Mario into Boo Mario therefore giving him the power to do several things that ghosts do in the real world such as float through walls and fly. He can become intangible if the player shakes the [[Wii Remote]] and he can then go through the object. Another effect of being Boo Mario is that Mario will attract other Boos towards it and those Boos will make him lose the form by touching him. The only other way to become Mario from Boo Mario is to go into a light beam.

In the mission "[[Ghostly Galaxy#Luigi and the Haunted Mansion|Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]]", the Boo Mushroom appears for the very first time in the whole game at the end of the level when Mario has to actually free Luigi. It is in a room behind a moving light which will make exiting the room without losing the mushroom an extra challenge for Mario. Mario must then use the mushroom to travel along until he gets another mushroom which he must use to actually free his brother [[Luigi]].
The Boo Mushroom appears in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]], the [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]] and the [[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy]]. Overall, the powerup appears in three missions.


====Sand Spiral Galaxy====
The power-up is introduced in the mission [[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]] in the Ghostly Galaxy, where Mario has to meet and free Luigi by breaking into his sealed room with the help of the Boo abilities, though Luigi is too scared of Mario in his Boo form, so the player has to use a nearby light to turn back to normal.

The Boo Mushroom reappears in the mission "[[Sand Spiral Galaxy#Choosing a Favorite Snack|Choosing a Favorite Snack]]" where Mario has the choice of either the [[Bee Mushroom]] or the Boo Mushroom. If Mario chooses the Boo Mushroom he will turn into Boo Mario and have to travel over a lot of quicksand. There is a boo at the start who will see Mario and fall in love with him, chasing him for several meters until it gives up. After that there are several lights all around trying to shine on him and make him lose his Boo Mushroom.


====Boo's Boneyard Galaxy====
The Boo Mushroom reappears in the Sand Spiral Galaxy, where Mario has the choice of using either it or the [[Bee Mushroom]] to traverse the course. It is featured a last time in the Boo's Boneyard Galaxy, where Boo Mario must race the [[Spooky Speedster]].
In the mission "[[Boo's Boneyard Galaxy#Racing the Spooky Speedster|Racing the Spooky Speedster]]", Mario makes his final encounter with the Boo Mushroom when he must use it to race the [[Spooky Speedster]] and to win the level. There are many shortcuts that can only be accessed by Boo Mario and no lights to make Mario lose his Boo Mushroom in the whole level making it one of the easier levels.
