Their most notable appearance is as an item in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. These [[Boo]]s make the ball invisible so the player in the outfield cannot see it.

Boos have been shown to show the unusual trait of being able to combine and create a bigger Boo. This is shown in [[Boolossus]] from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and Boo's [[Offensive Power Shot]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. Boolossus is a large Boo that is created by fifteen Boos combining together. Boo's power shot shows him summoning many Boos into the form of a large Boo-like tennis racket, hitting the ball with it, and then allowing the Boos to disperse and help cloak the ball in hopes of earning a point. However, just as fielders are able to still make the catch despite the Mini Boos hiding the ball, opposing players can still hit the tennis ball successfully if they know where to be.

Mini Boos are smaller variants of Boos. Though they have very similar appearances, with the exception of size, Mini Boos are often not used as actual enemies, and when they are, they do not act as Boos. As an item, they may be used to assist the character who summons them.
