Balloon Boos act like normal Boos, but a little bit different. Balloon Boo takes the classic Boo tactic and brings it to the next level. Like any Boo from the platformers, he sits in place when Mario faces him, giving chase only when Mario looks away. When you're looking away, the Balloon Boo will chase you, using the air it sucked in. This will make the Balloon Boo shrink until it's around the size of Mario/Luigi at which point, the Balloon Boo will continue to chase Mario until Mario looks at the Balloon Boo at which point, When you're looking at a Balloon Boo, it will suck in air, making itself bigger. This air won't affect the plumbers. the Balloon Boo will continue to suck in air to inflate itself until it's reached it's maximum size at which point it will remain still until the plumbers look away again, by doing so he could end up bumping into the plumbers even without moving, making him dangerous in tight spaces. Balloon Boos can only be defeated with the effects of a Blue Shell, Starman, or a Mega Mushroom.
== Trivia ==
*In the game's files, there exists an unused variety of the Balloon Boo which doesn't deflate/inflate it's size and slowly chases Mario when his back is turned like a normal Boo. Said Balloon Boo moves much slower than a normal Boo however, this Balloon Boo could be considered an unused Big Boo as it doesn't change it's size.
