The Creepy Steeple Boo

The Creepy Steeple Boo

The Creepy Steeple Boo is a Boo in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is the Boo that asks Mario "How many Boos just came out?" after Mario frees the 200 Boos from Creepy Steeple. He will drop an Ultra Mushroom and call Mario a "math nerd" if Mario guesses correctly, while if Mario gets it wrong (50 or 100) he will call Mario a "foolish mortal" and drop a coin. It is unknown if he was actually one of the Boos that joined in to make Atomic Boo, as he is presumably a friendly character throughout the game. It is also unknown if he was also referring to himself when he asks how many Boos came out.

Later, he sends Mario an email saying that he is thankful for Mario freeing him and his friends; he also reveals in the email that there are many secrets for Mario to find in his home of Creepy Steeple. This email shows his dislike for technology and seemingly frequent criticisms of himself.

In the remake, he can be found in the Creepy Steeple storeroom giving Mario quizzes after freeing the Boos trapped in the box.

"That’s a Boo. This guy loves quizzes, so he questions anyone who enters. If he never leaves this room, which seems to be the case… where is he getting all of this information?"

Trivia

• The German localization of the Creepy Steeple Boo's quizzes contains two mistakes:
  • In quiz 4, question 3, the Crystal Star is erroneously referred to as "Juwelenstern" (jewel star) instead of "Kristallstern" (crystal star), likely due to the Crystal Stars as a whole being known as "Sternjuwelen" (star jewels).
  • In quiz 6, question 13, the names of Dark Wizzerd and Wizzerd are swapped, making Dark Wizzerd the wrong answer, even though it is the only answer to appear in the Palace of Shadow.
