[[Image:disappearinboobuddies.jpg|right|frame|The group of Boos.]]'''Disappearing Boo Buddies''' are a special group of [[Boo]]s found only in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They are mostly served as backgrounds and some occasionally swoop at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. They are found in the long room in [[Donut Ghost House]] and an underwater part of the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]] and cannot be defeated. They can be effectively avoided by running quickly across the room.

A group of small Disappearing Boo Buddies also appear in the [[Ghost Castle]] of Yoshi's Story. These tiny will swoop at Yoshi very rarely, unless he throws an egg at one of the members of the group. Then, all of the Boos will stop in their tracks and swoop at Yoshi. It is impossible to kill all of the Boos, as more will just appear off-screen.
In the first chapter of the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 4|fourth volume]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]] traverse the Sunken Ghost Ship and attempt to bypass the Boos while disguised as a [[Big Boo]], but the three are quickly discovered. Luigi gets possessed by the Boos, and his body is used to hurt his friends, until Mario finds an old [[Super Leaf]] in the shipwreck and uses his [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] tail to hit Luigi, causing him to vomit out all the Boos. Too weakened by the hit, the Boos do not follow them, hoping the long, tall room that the heroes entered would defeat them.

A Disappearing Boo Buddy[1] is a type of Boo found in Super Mario World. Disappearing Boo Buddies are found only in the Sunken Ghost Ship and cannot be defeated. They are found in a group randomly scattered throughout the screen and are completely motionless until they simultaneously vanish and reappear elsewhere. The best way to deal with them is to move very slowly to avoid colliding into one. They are similar to Boo Crews found in the Donut Ghost House and Forest Ghost House, but Boo Crews turn transparent rather than disappearing, move rather than staying still, and are a tighter mass.

In the first chapter of the fourth volume of Super Mario-kun, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi traverse the Sunken Ghost Ship and attempt to bypass the Boos while disguised as a Big Boo, but the three are quickly discovered. Luigi gets possessed by the Boos, and his body is used to hurt his friends, until Mario finds an old Super Leaf in the shipwreck and uses his Raccoon tail to hit Luigi, causing him to vomit out all the Boos. Too weakened by the hit, the Boos do not follow them, hoping the long, tall room that the heroes entered would defeat them.
