'''Boos''' ({{ja|テレサ|Teresa}}, ''Teresa'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
'''Boo''' ({{ja|テレサ|Teresa}}, ''Teresa'') is a species of ghost from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

Boos made their debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a common enemy, and has become a common enemy in later ''Mario'' games. They are white, spherical ghosts with short stubby arms and a short stubby tail. They have beady black eyes, a fanged mouth, and a large tongue they stick out occasionally.
Boos debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', and have been common enemies in the ''Mario'' games ever since. They often appear in {{s|mariowiki|Ghost House}}s and other haunted places. They float in the air pursuing [[Mario]] and damage him on touch, but they stop when they're looked at, being too shy to move. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion}}'', Boos serve a major role as enemies in the mansion, hence their stage cameo beginning in ''Brawl''. In some ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' games, Boos act as items that make the player invisible; this is likely the basis for their function as a Smash Tour item.
 
Boos are known for appearing in {{s|mariowiki|Ghost House}}s and other haunted levels in the ''Mario'' series. When the player is facing away, they will pursue the player and damage them on contact. When the player is facing them, they stop their pursuit, cover their bashful faces, and becomes intangible. In any case, they cannot be defeated under normal circumstances (e.g. jumping on them); however, they can be defeated by running into them under the effect of the [[Super Star]] or throwing a {{s|mariowiki|Grab Block}} at them. In later ''Mario'' games, they can disappear momentarily when hit by [[fireball]]s or {{s|mariowiki|Tanooki Mario}}'s tail whips.
 
Boos have become a recurring item in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' series. When used, it will turn the player temporary invisible while the Boo steals an item from another player. If there is no item to steal, however, it will return with a [[Super Mushroom]].
 
Prominent members of the Boo species include {{s|mariowiki|King Boo}}, the king of the Boos and the main antagonist of the ''{{s|mariowiki|Luigi's Mansion}}'' series; and {{s|mariowiki|Lady Bow}}, a female Boo and one of [[Mario]]'s party members in ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario}}''.

Boo's Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Kirby}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage's Slide Tower layout. During the battle, Kirby frequently shields and turns invisible, referencing how Boos cannot be defeated under normal circumstances and turns invisible when faced by the player.
