Boo (テレサ, Teresa) are enemies from the Mario series.
Origin
Boos made their debut in 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 are known for appearing in Ghost Houses 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 Grab Block at them. In later Mario games, they can disappear momentarily when hit by fireballs or Tanooki Mario's tail whips.
Boos have become a recurring item in the Mario Kart 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 King Boo, the king of the Boos and the main antagonist of the Luigi's Mansion series; and Lady Bow, one of Mario's party members in Paper Mario.

- These shy spirits inhabit Mario's world and have been known to vanish or freeze when met face-to-face. In recent years, they seem to have overcome their fears in order to pursue tennis and other social activities. They usually appear in groups and fly in formation. From time to time, giant Boos make surprise appearances.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Boo
- A bashful ghost who draws near when your back is turned but shyly stops and disappears when you face it. Boos have been seen recently in activities like baseball and tennis, so it's thought that they may have conquered their fear of humans. Boos are also characterized by having a variety of different weaknesses between forms.

Spirit
Boo appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Novice-class primary spirit.
In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Boo is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, Dharkon takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Boo. Boo's spirit is located in the Dracula's Castle sub-dungeon of The Dark Realm.
Boo uses a 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.
