Boo			NES Super Mario Bros. 3 02/1990 3DS Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon 03/2013	Don't look so surprised—even some ghosts are shy! It's like a game of Red Light Green Light: your face means stop, and the back of your head means go. So be very careful if you turn your back. Boo also shows up in the Mario Kart series, making your kart invisible to other racers.	Even ghosts can be shy, and these guys are so shy, they can't even attack you if you're watching! I's kind of like they're always playing a ghostly game of statues. just don't turn your back on them and you'll be alright! That said, they make fine allies in the Mario Kart series, where they can turn you invisible for a while.

「テレサ
暗いところによく現れる、イタズラ好きなオバケ。
うしろからおそいかかろうと近づいてくるけど、顔をあわせると恥ずかしくて動けなくなっちゃうらしい。
照れ屋さんだから「テレサ」という名前なのかな？
いろんなテレサがいて、なかには王冠をかぶった大きなテレサもいるんだって！」

Boo
A ghost that loves mischief, and often appears from dark areas.
Even though it slowly tries to fly down and approach you from behind, it seems if you turn and face it directly, it becomes embarrassed and completely unable to move.
Maybe its name Teresa comes from the word Tereya-san (shy person)?
There are various Boos, among them there's even a large Boo that wears a crown!

「暗いところによく現れる、イタズラ好きなオバケ。
オバケなのにとても照れ屋で、目を合わせると恥ずかしくて動けなくなってしまいます。」
