Unlike other Red Boos, the [[Isle Delfino]] variety can be frozen and turned into [[Yoshi Platform]]s when touched by liquid, whether it is [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s water or [[Yoshi Juice]]. These platforms can be used to reach higher areas, primarily in [[Hotel Delfino]]. The [[Hotel Manager]] asks [[Mario]] to get rid of the Boos haunting his hotel. Although Mario cannot completely defeat Red Boos, they leave Hotel Delfino after Mario defeats their leader, [[King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine)|King Boo]].
