In the sequel, all King Boo's altruistic traits have been rendered null. Gadd since his Poltergust is only the thing that can harm him.
This grudge also extends to Princess Peach and her Toad Retainers in the third game, despite them having nothing to do with his imprisonment. He despised the Mario Brothers, and so plotted to get rid of them by capturing Mario and then tricking Luigi so he could store them both into paintings. King Boo initially was much fairer in his rule, going out of his way to save a high-ranking Boo and generally acting fond of his own troops.

King Boo is notably darker in the Luigi's Mansion series than in other games. King Boo hates spicy things, as throwing a jalapeno pepper in his mouth will set his tongue on fire and make him vulnerable. Lastly, King Boo has a distinct cackle, which is significantly lower in pitch than other Boos. He shows a bit of a snarky side in Dark Moon when he confronts Luigi with a speaking line "Remember when you trapped me for all eternity in a painting? Good times.". King Boo also has an extreme dislike for the Mario Bros., due to their constant intervention in the plans of the Boo leader and others of his kind, especially towards Luigi. King Boo seems to have a passion for gambling, as the entrance to each wing in Luigi's Mansion was modeled after a playing card suit (spade, club, heart, and diamond), he is fought atop a slot machine in a casino in Super Mario Sunshine, and (though this is non-canon), his Rival match in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics Games is at Bingo Highway, a casino-themed stage from Sonic Heroes. This is likely because he is the most intelligent and the most powerful of the Boos. However, even gigantic Boos like Boolossus follow his leadership despite their superior size. He has also shown the ability to create Boos, bubbles, and blue fire, which he spits out of his mouth.Īlthough King Boo is a lot larger than regular Boos, he is not the largest of the Boos. King Boo also has the incredible power to materialize things out of thin air. Notably, it should be mentioned that King Boo's power increases when he is in the presence of other Boos. In various other Mario games, King Boo resembles other Boos, albeit larger and wears a smaller crown that has tiny red and blue jewels on the rim instead of a large one on the top.īesides possessing the abilities of other Boos, including the ability to teleport, King Boo has a number of other magical powers. In the first Luigi's Mansion game, his eyes and crown jewel were originally red in color and his tongue was originally blue in color. He also wears a gold crown that has a large magenta jewel embedded on top of it. In the Luigi's Mansion series, King Boo appears as a large Boo with magenta eyes, an indigo tongue, and gray body that is sometimes shrouded in shadows.
King Boo as he appears in Mario Super Sluggers and Mario Kart Wii. Despite having the same name and role, the King Boo from the main games seems to act differently from his first appearance in the Luigi's Mansion spinoff. He is also the arch-nemesis of Luigi as Bowser is to Mario. He made his debut in the first Luigi's Mansion game.Īs his name suggests, he is the king of the entire Boo race. He appears under different shapes and roles, most commonly as a boss character. He is also a major antagonist in the Super Mario series and occasionally appears in other spin-off series. He is the main antagonist of the Luigi's Mansion sub-series, serving as the main antagonist of all three games. King Boo, also known as the Master of Illusions, and mistakenly known as Big Boo in Super Mario 64 DS, is a major antagonist in the Mario franchise.
