TaBooki (who's real name is Yvan) is a Boo with Tanooki powers. First, he was just a little shy Boo, left in an haunted mansion. At one day, there was a massive thunderstorm, and Super Leaves were floating around. When Yvan went looking, he saw a big, shiny Leaf. Just when he touched it, he got hit by thunder, causing a big, bright explosion. When 'TaBooki' awoke, he was in a different place. He saw little Mushroom-like people and a big castle. He was in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Toads brought him to the castle, where he discovered he wasn't a little Boo anymore, and he had full Tanooki powers. Now, his friends call him TaBooki. He is great friends with Luigi and Yoshi.
