Boo

Boos are ghost enemies from the Mario series of games, debuting in Super Mario Bros. 3 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. They made cameo appearances in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, where a pair of Boos guarded the Power Bracelet. They are killed by lighting the two torches and then swinging the sword at them, though the player could also just let them run away.

Boos are also trophys in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the stage Luigi's Mansion, if the mansion is destroyed entirely, a couple of Boos will float ouy of the ruins.

Trivia

 * In the Mario games, Boos can rarely be killed (only in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy), and hide when looked at. This is not the case for their Zelda appearance.
