Fishin' Boos carry a fishing rod and ride a cloud similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]] but lacking the face. Fishin' Boos carry a blue flame from their fishing pole and try to hinder the player's jumping ability. Fishin' Boos have the same invulnerabilities as a normal [[Boo]] and therefore can only be [[Spin Jump]]ed on.

Fishin' Boos are enemies in Super Mario World. They are encountered in Choco-Ghost House only. Fishin' Boos carry a fishing rod and ride a cloud similar to Lakitu's Cloud but lacking the face. Fishin' Boos carry a blue flame from their fishing pole and try to hinder the player's jumping ability. Fishin' Boos have the same invulnerabilities as a normal Boo and therefore can only be Spin Jumped on. Their sprite depicts their hair as light blue, instead of black, possibly to make it distinguishable from the background.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Fishing Boos are enemies in Super Mario Run, which were added in the version 3.0.4 update. As such, they cannot be levelled up. Fishing Boos are encountered in Fishing Boo Taunts You only. They move in sine waves across the top of the screen, reversing direction at the edges. The Fishing Boo itself is no longer dangerous to touch, in fact they can be defeated with a stomp attack, which reveals that they appear to be wearing sheets and brown shoes. Their lines may carry blue flames, as before, but can also carry a coin, color coin, Super Mushroom, or Super Star. A Fishing Boo leaves if the player reaches specific points on the course, or if the item on its line is collected. They fly off the top left of the screen, similarly to Lakitu. Fishing Boo usually always have gold sparkles, they drop a mass of coins when defeated. These coins land in a row across the screen to the right of the Fishing Boo. Due to using 3D models, a Fishing Boo's turning animations are much smoother than before, making the movement of the line more predictable.
