Instead of accessing the course via a [[painting]], the player must travel to the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s [[Courtyard (Peach's Castle)|courtyard]] after they have collected 12 [[Power Star]]s (15 in the DS remake) and defeat the [[Big Boo]] containing the cage. When near the cage, the player's character shrinks down and enters it. This is the only course (in the original game) that does not share its theme with another course and has the most encounters with enemies containing Stars, with the Big Boo being fought three times and [[Big Mr. I.]] being fought once. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as howling wind.


'''Big Boo's Haunt''' is a three-story mansion located in a small cage. It is the fifth course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Unlike most other courses, Big Boo's Haunt is one of the rare courses that is not accessed via a painting, another one being [[Rainbow Ride]]. Instead, Mario must travel to the castle's courtyard (after he has collected twelve [[Power Star]]s) and defeat a [[Big Boo]]. The Boo will drop a small cage containing the course. Mario shrinks upon entering this cage. The level is bounded by what appears to be the bars of a cage, suggesting, along with his entrance into  the level, that Mario has shrunk. The background is that of a moonlit night.
In the remake, Big Boo's Haunt is the only main course that [[Yoshi]] cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat [[Boo]]s; this is also the only course to have a [[level]] inside it required to free another playable character, and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being [[Behind the Waterfall]] in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]).


Big Boo's Haunt is inhabited by none other than [[Big Boo]] himself. There is a small shack on the side of the mansion that has a lift to the basement. In the center of the basement is a strange large merry-go-round. There is also the [[Mad Piano]] (a piano that comes to life and tries to bite Mario if he gets too close). Big Boo's Haunt is also home to [[Big Mr. I]]. There are two entrances into the main building: the front door immediately visible upon entering the level, and a single back door that leads into a room containing two Boos. This course is one of a few that contain bridges made of bricks that fall away when walked upon. It should also be noted that there is no way to fall "off the course".
==Layout==
[[File:SM64DS Big Boos Haunt Map 1.png|frame|left|Map of the area outside the haunted house in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
Big Boo's Haunt takes place within the cage. There are two buildings in the course: the main [[Ghost House|haunted house]] and a wooden shack off to the side (also known as the "'''House of Fun'''").<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=86|date=April 7, 1999|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2103-8}}</ref> Around the haunted house are several [[Scuttlebug|Scuttle Bug]]s, and an entrance to a secret room with a couple of Boos is at the back of the haunted house.


==''Super Mario 64''==
[[File:Big Boo's Haunt SM64 shack exterior.png|thumb|left|200px|The shack leading to the haunted house's basement]]
The haunted house consists of three floors, though only the first floor is accessible during the [[Go on a Ghost Hunt|first mission]] (unless the player has unlocked [[Luigi]] in the DS version, in which case the player can easily [[jump]] to the next floor). The rooms of the first floor consist of, from left to right, a room with the [[Mad Piano]], a room with a library, a room with a dungeon, a room with a collapsing bridge, and a room with a black pit and some platforms. If the player falls into the pit, it will lead them to the merry-go-round underneath. Once all the Boos and the Big Boo on the first floor are defeated, a staircase to the second floor appears.


===Star 1: Go On A Ghost Hunt===
The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's [[Star Marker]]. The second door from the left leads to a library with books flying out of the shelves, trying to attack the player. The end of the library leads to the first room from the left, which contains a Power Star. The third room has a wire-frame grate floor above the dungeon room, the fourth room has several [[casket]]s that rise when the player approaches them, and the fifth room contains a bookcase with [[Bookend]]s and a large [[seesaw|tilting platform]] that will drop the player into the merry-go-round if they stand on it for too long. The door in the back of the fifth room leads to a [[Cap Block|blue block]] (or red in the DS version), and a door above on a ledge leads to the third floor.
Mario must go through the entire course and defeat every [[boo]] there. Once every boo has been defeated, Big Boo appears in the main room of the mansion. He can be defeated by being punched from behind, as he turns invisible whenever Mario faces him from the front. Once Mario has defeated him, a star appears on the second floor and a stair case appears from the ground to reach it.


===Star 2: Ride Big Boo's Merry-Go-Round===
The third floor consists of a small hall with doors to the balcony and a secret room containing Big Mr. I. In the DS version, a Luigi painting that brings [[Mario]] to the [[Big Boo Battle]] stage is also present in the hall. To access the room with Big Mr. I., the player has to be [[Vanish Mario]] or Vanish Luigi and enter through the large picture of a Boo before the power wears off. On the balcony lies the Big Boo, and the player can [[Long Jump|long-jump]] from the platform to access the roof.
Once he enters the course, Mario should enter the shack near the mansion. He'll take the lift to the basement and hear "circus music" as he progress onward. There will be a door that leads into a room with a spinning floor and boo paintings around the walls. One near a doorway will shoot out fire while boos will appear out of one on the left side of the other doorway. After Mario defeats 5 normal boos, Big Boo will appear again and give up another star once Mario defeats him in the way that he did to get the previous Power Star.
   
===Star 3: Secret of the Haunted Books===
The third mission for the red capped plumber is on the second floor. Once Mario reaches the second floor of the Foyer, he should take the right hand door on the left side of the room. This will lead him into a small library. As Mario heads around the library, small books shoot out from the shelves that can injure him if not avoided(not to be confused with the books with teeth that attack Mario in other rooms). Once the plumber has rounded the corner, he will come to a wall with three books jutting out of the wall. If Mario punches or kicks them in the right order, the wall will move away revealing a door. If he hits the books in an incorrect order, a small book will attack him and the books will reset. Once he enters through the door, he will be able to claim this mission's Power Star.


Star 4: Seek the 8 Red Coins===
The shack on the grounds of the haunted house leads to an elevator that brings the player to large halls when stepped on. At the end of the halls is a room with [[water]] and a merry-go-round in the center, accessed by doors on either side. The merry-go-round has a large spinning platform in the center and several portraits of Boos. One of the portraits has actual Boos come out of it, and another acts like a [[flamethrower]].

Mario's journey next takes him to another encounter with Big Boo. He'll head up to the third floor. The plumber will see a door that will lead to the outside balcony where he will meet Big Boo once again. After his third defeat, Big Boo will give up another Power Star. The Power star will jump up to the roof of the house, and Mario will have to get up to retrieve it.

“You don't stand a ghost of a chance in this house. If you walk out of here, you deserve...a Ghoul Medal...”
—Sign outside the haunted house, Super Mario 64

Big Boo's Haunt, also known as Big Boo's Mansion,[1] Boo's Haunted Mansion,[2] Big Boo's Haunted House,[3] and the Haunted House,[4] is a three-story mansion owned by the Big Boo, located in a small birdcage (also identified as a "carousel").[5] It is the fifth course in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Instead of accessing the course via a painting, the player must travel to the Mushroom Castle's courtyard after they have collected 12 Power Stars (15 in the DS remake) and defeat the Big Boo containing the cage. When near the cage, the player's character shrinks down and enters it. This is the only course (in the original game) that does not share its theme with another course and has the most encounters with enemies containing Stars, with the Big Boo being fought three times and Big Mr. I. being fought once. The background is that of a moonlit night in a dark forest as well as howling wind.

In the remake, Big Boo's Haunt is the only main course that Yoshi cannot access entirely, since he can neither defeat nor eat Boos; this is also the only course to have a level inside it required to free another playable character, and it is one of two levels to have a secret level inside it (the other being Behind the Waterfall in the Hazy Maze Cave).

Layout[edit]

Map of the area outside the haunted house in Super Mario 64 DS

Big Boo's Haunt takes place within the cage. There are two buildings in the course: the main haunted house and a wooden shack off to the side (also known as the "House of Fun").[6] Around the haunted house are several Scuttle Bugs, and an entrance to a secret room with a couple of Boos is at the back of the haunted house.

The exterior of the shack in Big Boo's Haunt
The shack leading to the haunted house's basement

The haunted house consists of three floors, though only the first floor is accessible during the first mission (unless the player has unlocked Luigi in the DS version, in which case the player can easily jump to the next floor). The rooms of the first floor consist of, from left to right, a room with the Mad Piano, a room with a library, a room with a dungeon, a room with a collapsing bridge, and a room with a black pit and some platforms. If the player falls into the pit, it will lead them to the merry-go-round underneath. Once all the Boos and the Big Boo on the first floor are defeated, a staircase to the second floor appears.

The second floor has the same number of rooms as the first, as well as the course's Star Marker. The second door from the left leads to a library with books flying out of the shelves, trying to attack the player. The end of the library leads to the first room from the left, which contains a Power Star. The third room has a wire-frame grate floor above the dungeon room, the fourth room has several caskets that rise when the player approaches them, and the fifth room contains a bookcase with Bookends and a large tilting platform that will drop the player into the merry-go-round if they stand on it for too long. The door in the back of the fifth room leads to a blue block (or red in the DS version), and a door above on a ledge leads to the third floor.

The third floor consists of a small hall with doors to the balcony and a secret room containing Big Mr. I. In the DS version, a Luigi painting that brings Mario to the Big Boo Battle stage is also present in the hall. To access the room with Big Mr. I., the player has to be Vanish Mario or Vanish Luigi and enter through the large picture of a Boo before the power wears off. On the balcony lies the Big Boo, and the player can long-jump from the platform to access the roof.

The shack on the grounds of the haunted house leads to an elevator that brings the player to large halls when stepped on. At the end of the halls is a room with water and a merry-go-round in the center, accessed by doors on either side. The merry-go-round has a large spinning platform in the center and several portraits of Boos. One of the portraits has actual Boos come out of it, and another acts like a flamethrower.

Trivia[edit]

  • If the player activates first-person view when Mario is close enough to enter the course, the player can still move the camera for a bit before the screen transitions to the mission-selection screen.
  • In the DS version, a green cap appears on the Boo in the back room of the first floor. By using hacks to enter the course as Yoshi, it can be shown that Yoshi is able to tongue the cap off the Boo and turn into Luigi as if the cap were on a normal Goomba.
  • The music for this level samples "46 - Untitled" by Zero-G.[9]
  • The name of the 100-Coin Star is Beat the Boos![2]
