Fishing Boos (alternatively Fishin' Boos) are ghostly Fishin' Lakitus 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.
History[edit ]
Super Mario series[edit ]
Super Mario World[edit ]
Fishin' Boos are enemies in Super Mario World . They are encountered in only one level—the Chocolate Island level Choco-Ghost House. 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 in normal circumstances and therefore can only be Spin Jumped on. Their sprite depicts their hair as light blue, instead of black, possibly to make it distinguishable from the background. It is possible to defeat Fishin' Boos using a Super Star, but this displays a glitched sprite as they were not intended to be defeated.
Super Mario Run[edit ]
Fishing Boos are enemies in Super Mario Run , which were added in the version 3.0.4 update. As such, they cannot be levelled up. Fishing Boos are encountered in only one level—the World ★ level Fishing Boo Taunts You. 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[edit ]
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[edit ]
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[edit ]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit ]
Fishing Boos were also likely going to appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii , as an unknown object was named similarly to Fishing Boo, but the idea was scrapped.
