History[edit]
Yoshi's Story[edit]
InYoshi's Story, swarms of Little Boos appear in only one level,Ghost Castle. Here, ifYoshi throws anegg at one of them, every Little Boo stops in their tracks and swoop at Yoshi. Little Boos cannot all be defeated since more will just appear from off-screen. If Yoshi eats aHeart Fruit and does aGround Pound near them, they will turn intoLucky Fruit, much likeShy Guys do. They resembleBoo Crews fromSuper Mario World, except their position moving back and forth is more fixed instead of swooping from above, and they are never transparent.Big & Little Boos also make an appearance inJelly Pipe and are comprised of one regular-sized Boo followed by three smaller Boos, which are larger than the Little Boos in Ghost Castle.
Luigi's Mansion[edit]
InLuigi's Mansion andthe 3DS version,Boolossus is comprised of fifteen smaller Boos, which are smaller than the other Boos found in the game.Luigi must suck them all up in thePoltergust 3000 to defeat the boss.
Mario Power Tennis[edit]
InMario Power Tennis, Boo'sOffensive Power Shot,Boo Blast, involves Little Boos. The move summons many Little Boos into a large tennis racket, hitting the ball with it, then allowing them to cloak the ball.
Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix[edit]
InDance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix,mini-Boos appear during the Mush Mode versions of "Boo Boogie" and "Moustache, Barrel, and Gorilla." They occasionally replace the arrows in the chart. Stepping on one causes the giant Boo at the bottom to lower.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
InSuper Mario Galaxy, transparent mini-Boos can be spotted on the finish line planet ofGhostly Galaxy during the missionA Very Spooky Sprint. They merely come from the planet's surface a short distance before disappearing.
Mario Super Sluggers[edit]
InMario Super Sluggers, Mini Boos appear under their current name as an item. The Mini Boo item makes the ball invisible to the player in the outfield. They are found inWario City and are required forKing Boo to join the player's team in Challenge Mode.
