There's an easy way to avoid them and to reach the melon J carried along in the center of the Boo family.''"</ref> is a variant of [[Boo]] that appears in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Unlike other Boos who have red mouths, Big & Little Boos have blue mouths. They consist of one regular-sized Boo followed by [[Mini Boo|Little Boo]]s. Big & Little Boos mirror a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s movements, approaching it when the Yoshi comes towards them. They can be defeated by being tricked into looking away, allowing the Yoshi to throw [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s at the Little Boos in the same manner. Each group holds a [[melon]]. If the melon is collected, the Boos will not respawn if moved offscreen far enough. Big & Little Boos appear only in the [[Jelly Pipe]].

*Similar groups consisting of one [[Big Boo]] and three smaller Boo Buddies previously appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, they do not have a melon.
