Boo Crew

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Revision as of 15:20, November 10, 2020 by LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (Also, if there are no objections, I'd rather remove "Boo Buddy Swam" entirely, since that was just a section header (the same quote refers to them as just "Boo Buddies" in the text body like the rest of the magazine) and we now have a more solid name for them.)

History

Super Mario World

In Super Mario World, they are found only in the Donut Ghost House and Forest Ghost House. They are usually transparent, which is when they are harmless, but periodically will turn opaque, which is when they are dangerous, to dive at Mario. They are indestructible and can only be avoided by the player.

Yoshi's Story

Split-arrows.svg It has been suggested that this section be split into the following: Boo Crew, Mini Boo. (discuss)

In Yoshi's Story, swarms of miniature Boos called Boo Buddies[2], Little Boos[3][4] or Baby Boos[5][6] appear in Ghost Castle. These tiny ghosts will swoop at Yoshi very rarely, unless he throws an egg at one of the members of the group. Then, all of the Boos will stop in their tracks and swoop at Yoshi. It is impossible to defeat all of the Boos, as more will just appear from off-screen. If Yoshi eats a Heart Fruit and does a Ground Pound near them, they will turn into Lucky Fruit, much like Shy Guys do. Unlike their Super Mario World counterparts, they do not turn transparent and can be destroyed.

Mario Kart series

Boo Buddy Swarms appear in the Ghost Valley courses in Super Mario Kart, Banshee Boardwalk in Mario Kart 64, and Luigi's Mansion in Mario Kart DS. However, the Boos do not hurt the players.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition

Boo Buddy Swarms appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as allies with a Dark attribute and sub-attribute under the name Boo Crew. Their skill is "Boo Trick", which lets the player be able to move any orbs anywhere for 6 seconds except in Score Attack, while their awoken skill, "Twin Target", raises their attack and damages two opponents for each attribute the player clears four orbs.
