Red Boos, also known asPink Boos inMario Party 6 andMario Party 7, are a pink-colored (or occasionally light red-colored) variant ofBoo that appears in theMario Party series. They are treated and behave similarly to white Boos, with the only difference being their coloration in most depictions, likely to avoid confusion with the playable Boo. Starting withMario Party: Island Tour, their role of an alternate behavior for Boos has seemingly gone toPeepas.
Other red-colored or pink-colored Boos have appeared in otherSuper Mario games—namely thethird Boo raced in the You VS. Boo mode ofSuper Mario Bros. Deluxe, Boo'ssecond-player color schemeMedia:Boo Colors.png inMario Tennis,red-colored BoosMedia:MPA Boo red.png in theMario Party Advance minigameBoo-Bye, andone of the colored BoosMedia:PeekaBooMPDS.png in theMario Party DS minigamePeek-a-Boo. However, Red Boos are considered distinct entities from these Boos.
History[edit]
Mario Party 4[edit]
InMario Party 4, Red Boos are mainly featured on the boardBoo's Haunted Bash. On that board, a Red Boo appears in the center of the board. Any player who passes it will make both the Red Boo and the Red Boo bridges disappear. When another player passes by it, the Red Boo and the bridges will reappear.
Mario Party 5[edit]
InMario Party 5, Red Boos appear inCard Party. If someone finds one, it steals one of finder's star cards and gives it to someone else.
Mario Party 6[edit]

InMario Party 6, a Pink Boo appears inTowering Treetop andCastaway Bay. These Pink Boos are female, and they speak in stereotypicalvalley girl jargon. They have the same role that the standard white Boo does in the first fourMario Party games. If it is nighttime, she offers to steal either a star or coins. Pink Boos also appear in the minigamesBoonanza! andBoo'd Off the Stage. The ones in Boo'd Off the Stage, however, are gaseous forms of these Boos. Pink Boos also appear in the background of theStar Sprint stage,Dark Path.
Mario Party 7[edit]
InMario Party 7, anOrb called thePink Boo Orb is introduced. It can be thrown onto any space, any opponent who lands on that space will have eithercoins or aStar stolen by a Pink Boo and given to the owner of the space. Pink Boos also appear inMathemortician, where they are worth one point each when shot while the crowned variants are worth three, and inGhost in the Hall, where they scare players who go the wrong way.

Red Boos reappear inMario Party 8 as non-playable characters inKing Boo's Haunted Hideaway. These Boos sellCandies to the player. "Little" Red Boos throw the player out of the mansion whenever the player reaches a dead end. They can also fly out of the chests and steal 10 coins from the player if they open one. Red Boos also appear in minigames such asBoo-ting Gallery with a "big" Red Boo andSpecter Inspector.
