Fishing Boo
Fishin' Boos are ghosts resembling Fishin' Lakitu that debuted in Super Mario World. They carry a fishing rod and ride a Lakitu's Cloud, much like their Koopa counterpart. However, instead of a 1-Up Mushroom, Fishin' Boos carry a blue flame and follow the player in a way that makes it hard for them to Jump. Their clouds also do not have faces. A Fishin' Boo has the same immunities as a normal Boo and therefore cannot be jumped on.
Fishin' Boo makes another appearance in the Nintendo GameCube version of Yoshi's Cookie, where they appear as the fourth opponent in the game's VS. Mode if the player plays on the Hard difficulty.
Fishin' Boos also make an appearance in Super Princess Peach as Fishing Boos[1], and a calmer variety called C. Fishing Boo also appears. Both types reside in Shriek Mansion on Vibe Island, and only Rage can defeat them.
They were also slated to appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, as an unknown object was named similar to Fishin' Boo.
Fishin' Boos reappear in the version 3.0.4 update in Super Mario Run, where they are found in the level Fishing Boo Taunts You. They are still found carrying harmful blue flames, though they can also carry items such as Super Mushrooms, Coins, Challenge Coins, and Super Stars. In this game, despite the flames they carry, the enemies themselves are completely inoffensive, and can be defeated with a stomp attack.[2]
