Boos, originally Boo Diddlies, are a species of ghost that mostly Bowser control. They chase after the characters in the Super Mario series when their backs are turned. They are ruled by King Boo. Boos are usually white, by are sometimes pink which are ruled by McBoo.
Boos also appear as items in the Mario Kart series. In those games, Boo makes the player invisible and steals an item for them from nearby opponents. In Mario Kart Arcade GP, however, Boo will lock itself onto an opponent, not only slowing them down but making steering more difficult too.
