Fishing Boos (alternatively Fishin' Boos) are ghostly Fishin' Lakitus that ride a cloud without a face. They attempt to hit the player character with a blue flame at the end of their fishing lines. The name "Fishin' Boo" was localized from an early Japanese name, "Fishing Telesa".[1]

History

Super Mario series

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

Fishing Boos are enemies in Super Mario Run, since the version 3.0.4 update. Fishing Boos are encountered in Fishing Boo Taunts You only. Though they still carry harmful blue flames, Fishing Boos can also carry items such as Super Mushrooms, coins, color coins, and Super Stars. Despite the flames they carry, Fishing Boos are completely inoffensive, and can be defeated with a stomp attack, which reveals that they appear to be wearing sheets and brown shoes. Due to using 3D models, their turning animations are much smoother than before, making the flame's movement more predictable.

Nintendo Puzzle Collection

A Fishin' Boo is the fourth non-player opponent in the Hard difficulty of VS. Mode in Nintendo Puzzle Collection's remake of Yoshi's Cookie

Super Princess Peach

Fishing Boos are enemies in Super Princess Peach. They also received a calm variety, C. Fishing Boo. Both types reside in Shriek Mansion on Vibe Island, and only Rage can defeat them.

Unused appearances

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Fishing Boos were also likely going to appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, as an unknown object was named similarly to Fishing Boo, but the idea was scrapped.
