==Trivia==
Colored Boo Blahs appear in both of the later versions of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' in the optional [[zeldawiki:Color Dungeon|Color Dungeon]]. For ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'', they are localized as '''Camo Goblins''',<ref>Hollinger, Elizabeth M., and James M. Ratkos. ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 106.</ref> and for the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, they are localized as '''Goo Specters'''.<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Dreamer Art Book''</ref> They appear in red, green, and blue versions and disguise in their small forms against same-colored floors, pursuing [[Link]] before stretching out. Green Goo Specters appear in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom}}'', and can be copied as an {{iw|zeldawiki|echo}}.
*They look incredibly similar to the [[zeldawiki:Camo Goblin|Camo Goblin]] enemy that appears in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]''. They even share the same Japanese name.

A Boo Blah[1] is a type of ghost that appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (and its reissue) and Yoshi's New Island. This creature sticks to the ceiling or the floor and stretches out periodically, similarly to Stretches from Super Mario Bros. 3. Boo Blahs are generally invincible, though they hurt the player only if they make contact with them while they are extended. Stomping them stuns them for a brief period of time, and by holding the jump button, a Yoshi can bounce off them. They can be defeated by using a POW Block or a cloud item. Also, there is an unused variant that has a Piro Dangle on its head, which was used in an earlier build of the game.[2]

Colored Boo Blahs appear in both of the later versions of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening in the optional Color Dungeon. For The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, they are localized as Camo Goblins,[3] and for the Nintendo Switch remake, they are localized as Goo Specters.[4] They appear in red, green, and blue versions and disguise in their small forms against same-colored floors, pursuing Link before stretching out. Green Goo Specters appear in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and can be copied as an echo.

Profiles[edit]

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

  • Shogakukan guide: 天井や床にはりついていて、ときどきからだをびよ~んとのばして驚かす。おばけはもう死んでいるので、倒せない。[5] (The ghosts are on the ceiling or floor, and sometimes startle people by stretching out their bodies. Since they are already dead, they cannot be defeated.)
  • Player's Guide: Lurking in the stonework of Bigger Boo's castle, the Boo Blah's "Boo!" is worse than its bite.[1]
  • Shogakukan guide (Game Boy Advance version): 天井や床にはりついていて、時々体をビヨーンとのばしておどろかす。倒すことはできないが、ゆかにいるものをふんでもダメージは受けない。[6] (They sometimes stretch out their bodies to scare you. They cannot be defeated, nor can they be harmed by stepping on them.)

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

  • Shogakukan guide: 一定時間ごとに通路をふさぐように体や手を伸ばす。触れるとダメージを受けるが、踏んで上に乗れる。乗った状態で敵が体や手を伸ばすと、真上へ飛ばされる。[7] (At regular intervals, they extend their bodies and hands to block off passageways. Touching it causes damage, but you can step on it to get on top of it. If the enemy reaches out with his body or hand while you are on top of it, you will be sent high above it.)
