In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Boo Crews are found only in the [[Donut Ghost House]] and [[Forest Ghost House]]. The cloud of Boos is usually transparent, which is when they are harmless, but individual ones will periodically turn opaque, which is when they are dangerous, to dive at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. They are indestructible and can only be avoided by the player.


A '''Boo Buddy''' is a miniature sub-specie of [[Boo]], known for grouping en masse to attack.  They usually tend to group where other Boos may be found, such as in the [[Yoshi Sewers]] and the [[Ghost Castle]].  Boo Buddies first appeared in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''.

Boo Crews appear in the [[Ghost Valley]] courses in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''; [[N64 Banshee Boardwalk|Banshee Boardwalk]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''; and [[DS Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion]] in ''Mario Kart DS'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and ''Mario Kart Tour''. However, the Boos do not hurt the players.


Boo Buddies appear only in Stage 2-3: Jelly Pipe as part of a [[Big & Little Boo]] and by themselves in Stage 6-3: Ghost Castle.  In the Ghost Castle, Boo Buddies attack all at once in a cloud, similar to smaller versions of the [[Disappearing Boo Buddies]] from ''Super Mario World''; however, they aren't a part of the background. Boo Buddies will stop and disappear in the same manner as a normal Boo.
