'''Fishing Boos''' (alternatively '''Fishin' Boos''') are ghostly [[Fishin' Lakitu]]s that ride a cloud without a face. They attempt to hit the player character with a blue flame at the end of their fishing lines. The name "Fishin' Boo" was localized from an early Japanese name, "Fishing Telesa".<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Prerelease:Super Mario World (SNES)/Background Graphics and Tilemaps#Enemy Cast List|Prerelease:Super Mario World (SNES)/Background Graphics and Tilemaps § Enemy Cast List]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=August 6, 2020|language=en}}</ref>
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Fishing Boo.png|thumb|left|x200px|Artwork from ''Super Mario World'', showing a Fishin' Boo's original design]]
Fishin' Boos are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are encountered in [[Choco-Ghost House]] only. Fishin' Boos carry a fishing rod and ride a cloud similar to [[Lakitu's Cloud]] but lacking the face. Fishin' Boos carry a blue flame from their fishing pole and try to hinder the player's jumping ability. Fishin' Boos have the same invulnerabilities as a normal [[Boo]] and therefore can only be [[Spin Jump]]ed on. Their sprite depicts their hair as light blue, instead of black, possibly to make it distinguishable from the background.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Fishing Boos are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', which were added in the version 3.0.4 update. As such, they cannot be [[level up|levelled up]]. Fishing Boos are encountered in [[Fishing Boo Taunts You]] only. They move in sine waves across the top of the screen, reversing direction at the edges. The Fishing Boo itself is no longer dangerous to touch, in fact they can be defeated with a [[stomp]] attack, which reveals that they appear to be wearing sheets and brown shoes. Their lines may carry blue flames, as before, but can also carry a [[coin]], [[color coin]], [[Super Mushroom]], or [[Super Star]]. A Fishing Boo leaves if the player reaches specific points on the course, or if the item on its line is collected. They fly off the top left of the screen, similarly to Lakitu. Fishing Boo usually always have gold sparkles, they drop a mass of coins when defeated. These coins land in a row across the screen to the right of the Fishing Boo. Due to using 3D models, a Fishing Boo's turning animations are much smoother than before, making the movement of the line more predictable.

===''Nintendo Puzzle Collection''===
A Fishin' Boo is the fourth non-player opponent in the Hard difficulty of VS. Mode in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''{{'}}s remake of ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]''

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Fishing Boos are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They also received a [[calm]] variety, [[C. Fishing Boo]]. Both types reside in [[Shriek Mansion]] on [[Vibe Island]], and only [[Rage]] can defeat them. 

===Unused appearances===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Fishing Boos were also likely [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|going to appear]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', as an unknown object was named similarly to Fishing Boo, but the idea was scrapped.
