A Boo is a type of ghost in the Mario series. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, but in Super Mario World, there were Ghost Houses, which contained many Boos.

The Boo's Mansion in Paper Mario was a bigger version of the Ghost Houses, which had many puzzles involving Boos in it. After solving these puzzles, Bow, the princess of the Boos, joins Mario's team. In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, she and Bootler are on vacation in Poshley Heights after Mario and his teammates defeat the Shadow Queen.

In Luigi's Mansion, there are 51 Boos which Luigi must suck up in his Poltergust 3000. There are 50 regular Boos, 15 of them making up Boolossus, and there is also King Boo.

In the Mario Kart series, the Boo is used as an offensive and defensive item. When activated, the Boo selects a random target, steals his item and gives it to you, and then makes you invisible and invulnerable for a short period of time.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, the Boos live in a tower called Creepy Steeple. When Mario Spin Attacks them, they merge into the Atomic Boo.

Boo appears as a playable character in Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6, Mario Party 7, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Superstar Baseball, and Mario Power Tennis.

It is unknown if Boos are the ghosts of formerly living beings or if they are an actual species.

  • Stats: HP 7, Attack 3, Defense 0
  • Tattle: That's a Boo. It's everyone's favorite ghost. ...Well, most everyone... It's nothing to write home about on the Attack side, but it can turn invisible. If it turns invisible, we won't be able to hit it, so beat it while you can see it. Boos are kinda cute, but I sure wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley. If I ran into one in the bathroom in the middle of the night, I'd... Well, never you mind what I'd do.
