Boo (toy)
Toy Boos,[1][2] also simply called Ghosts,[3] appear in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series as enemies.
History
Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge
In Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, toy Boos float in mid-air, with some moving on a straight path (vertically or horizontally) from side to side, while others staying in one place. They are invincible and, when in their active state, harmful to touch. However, they become harmless when they enter the light coming from a Candle. In this state, they are also forced to stop in place and cover their eyes, much like an actual Boo does when a character faces it in platform games, and the Minis are able to pass through them.
Boos are present in all levels of Moonlight Mansion, as well as levels Star 3 and Star 5 in the Star World.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)
Mechanical Boos also appear in the Nintendo Switch remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, replacing the regular Boos that appear in the original title. Like their regular counterparts, toy Boos float towards Mario (or Toad) if his back is turned away, but stop moving if he looks at them.[4]
