Big Boo: Difference between revisions

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', they appear in many [[Tower]]s and [[Castle]]s. However, in this game, they are only about three times bigger than a normal Boo, unlike in ''Super Mario World''. Like normal Boos, they could only be defeated by looking away from the ghost and bouncing an egg off a wall, hitting the ghost in the face. They release [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s when defeated. Additionally, one of the bosses, [[Bigger Boo]], starts as a normal Big Boo before being transformed by Kamek's magic.

===''Hotel Mario''===

In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', Big Boos, first appearing in [[Ludwig's Thump Castle Hotel]], are powerful enemies, being about one-sixth the size of a hotel floor; Big Boos in this game attacked in a manner similar to the ones of ''Super Mario World'', slowly floating towards Mario or Luigi when they look away, turning transparent when directly looked at.

====''Mario Party 2''====

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' a Big Boo appears in the [[Horror Land]] stage. As a typical Boo, it is able to steal objects from player's rivals, being coins or stars. However, Big Boo deals for stealing the coins or the stars from all the opponents, while paying to him three times the amount of coins than a normal Boo would do. Characters can ask for him only in night time; in daytime, Big Boo appears as a giant Boo statue. Since Big Boo can only be visited at night after taking a path that requires the [[Skeleton Key]], meeting him proves to be a difficult and rare opportunity for players, especially during "Lite Play" mode.

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===

Big Boo is an opponent in the Boxing game for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''. He is Luigi's second opponent. However, instead of boxing gloves, Big Boo uses smaller Boos to pummel his opponent.

====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====

In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', [[List of Boos in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon#Big Boo|Big Boo]] is one of the three bosses fought in [[Treacherous Mansion]], the final mansion in the game. Luigi and E. Gadd were tricked by King Boo to come into the miniature train station inside the [[Train Exhibit]], because E. Gadd thought that [[King Boo]] was there along with Mario's painting. Ten Boos are inside a mini train display in which they come together to form into Big Boo. The 10 Boos that assemble together are the only ghosts in the game who are not sucked into the [[Poltergust 5000]], as they are trapped in the trains' cages and later placed in the [[Boo Canister]] by E. Gadd.

===''Mario Pinball Land''===

In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', Big Boo is one of the four bosses. He appears in the haunted house at the Fun Fair. He has the last [[Star Key]]. To defeat him, Mario has to attack him from behind. He has no direct attacks, but instead approaches Mario continuously. If Mario comes into contact with Big Boo from the front, he temporarily spins out of control as if in a daze.

===''Super Princess Peach''===

Big Boos also appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Unlike normal Boos, they are invincible. However, they can be stunned permanently by leading one to a ray of light, which only appears in World 3-2. When they are stunned, they are harmless and can be used as platforms. This game also introduces a new Big Boo species, the [[Mad Big Boo]]. Like normal [[Mad Boo]]s, they stay still when Peach turns away from one, and chases after her when she looks at it.

===''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''===

Big Boos reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Boo with a [[Super Mushroom]], transforming it into a Big Boo although being slightly smaller than in other games. The player can also give them wings which make them slightly faster. They can also be put in Clown Cars, Lakitu's Cloud and on tracks.
