'''King Boo''' is the leader of the [[Boo]]s and [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]], the main antagonist of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], and the arch-nemesis of [[Luigi]]. He is also an ally of [[Bowser]] and has aided him in his various schemes. He has succeeded in capturing [[Mario]] in the ''Luigi's Mansion'' games, as well as capturing [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, [[Professor E. Gadd]], and [[Princess Peach]]. Although not the [[Boohemoth|biggest Boo]], King Boo has some powers throughout the series, including materializing objects and spitting fire. King Boo's power is often directly proportional to the number of Boos in his vicinity. | '''King Boo''' is the leader of the [[Boo]]s and [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghosts]], the main antagonist of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], and the arch-nemesis of [[Luigi]].

King Boo is one of the few characters to have his standing animation on the character select screen altered from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' In this case, his tongue is not sticking out of his mouth the whole time like before; now, before selecting him, his tongue is still in his mouth. Other characters whose poses were altered include: [[Yoshi]], who is now looking at the screen; [[Birdo]], whose bow was made larger; [[Diddy Kong]], who is looking in a different direction; Wario, who now has short sleeves; Waluigi, who now performs a slightly different animation when selected; and [[Donkey Kong]], whose mouth is not as wide open and is looking in another direction. | King Boo is one of the few characters to have his standing animation on the character select screen altered from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''

King Boo appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''{{'}}s [[Nintendo DS]] remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', imprisoning [[Luigi]] behind a [[painting]] in [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. When [[Mario]] enters the [[Big Boo Battle]] level to save Luigi, King Boo greets him. From there, the player must listen for King Boo's cackle and enter the door where it is loudest. Eventually, the player reaches the end and fights King Boo to free Luigi. To defeat King Boo, the player has to follow King Boo's movements in the arena's mirror and [[stomp]] him when he comes close enough. Defeating him results in King Boo giving out the [[Luigi Key]]. The player can fight him again as different characters, notably Luigi (who can be fought before unlocking him with [[Luigi Cap|his cap]]) and [[Wario]]. When Luigi meets King Boo, he is confused but proceeds to attack him anyway. When Wario fights him, King Boo is alarmed by his appearance and attempts to scare and attack him. | King Boo<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 188, page 79.

In English and other localizations, King Boo is incorrectly called [[Big Boo]], even though he is clearly different from the Big Boo of Big Boo's Haunt. Internally, they use the same model, with a modifier denoting the presence of the crown. | In English and other localizations, King Boo is incorrectly called [[Big Boo]], even though he is clearly different from the Big Boo of Big Boo's Haunt.
