As long as he's enjoying himself. That's all that matters.

I'm finding all my headcanons I am talking about from my story are just becoming goofy comics. Whoops. Ah well. Enjoy. Friend kinda sparked this joke during our talks.

Finishing the hidden mansion in the PAL mode of Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube. Unlike any other version of the game, Luigi rides the Poltergust during the Boolossus fight in this one!

What happens when you write a story and put Boolossus as the supporting boo...? You end up with this insanity. Making yourself an OC to pair with the idiot, even if he only really talks and has lore in LM1 and then after is just a boss you can optionally fight.

Anyways. Flower girl Lotus. I have a love of the lotus flower, so I had to do something with that when I decided to make this character a flower girl.

I headcanon'ed that Boolossus' boos prefer to be numbered outside of their true form, which is why Boo number 1 is mentioned in there. 1-6 are the bravest and usually are the guards when 7-16 take up the imposter king role if need be. 15 and 16 are the shyest probably and don't like being solo.

I don't know if I'll write or draw a lot of them, but the idea was adorable, so I did this anyways instead of working on my other need to be done refs... heh... (ಥ﹏ಥ)

redux au! sorry for not making it clear🫣 oops

Oh! Okay okay... I see what you meant now.

In short: Mario ended up landing directly in the center of Evershade Valley after he and Luigi got separated in the warp pipe. He tried taking shelter in Gloomy Manor after getting attacked by malicious ghosts, but after he discovered the "portrait room" he himself got caught by Boolosus, slapped into a painting, and hung up on the wall.

No journey involved. King Boo keeps close tabs on all his new portraits and what they look like through word of mouth, but he hadn't actually seen Mario face-to-face until part 3.

#though I HAVE thought about Mario having his own childhood flashback sequence a la the movie #But that was after chapter three and I didn't quite know where to fit it in at that point #askbox #anon #Super Mario Bros Redux AU #Also something worth noting: portraitfication in the Redux AU uses Luigi's Mansion 3 logic #no intricate machinery necessary. You just slap them directly into the frame #and Boolossus has like... a dozen extra frames on standby

"Ah yes. Me, my wife, and 15 little Boos who had a nightmare."

#doodles.... #boodles if you will #royal Phantoms #also yes. these are the 15 Boos that make up Boolossus.

after getting luigi's mansion i saw a review criticizing it for being really short and thought hm is that so?

well i'd started it last night and finished it literally a second ago so. ok i get it now HSJBDJF

#clai speaks #???? that took like idk. less than ten hours #would have been even less if i wasnt being stupid and missed really obvious things and didnt struggle so much with boolossus #i regret going through so fast my thumb hurts from pulling the circle pad so hard SOB

How many King Boos are there?

King Boo is a reoccurring antagonist in the wider Mario franchise and the main villain of the Luigi's Mansion subseries. Some questions surround him, like if there are multiple of him or just one. This is because his design has changed somewhat depending on which series he appears in.

He debuted in the first Luigi's Mansion game, where he appears as a large Boo with a blue tongue, glowing eyes and a shadow over his eyes. This design would generally be followed in the other games in the Luigi's Mansion series, but outside it, King Boo received a tamer design. The second game he appeared in was Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where he just looks like a large Boo with a more generic golden crown. This would go on to become King Boo's standard design outside the Luigi's Mansion series. Some believe these different designs are different characters and to complicate matters, a third variation with strange eyes and a long tongue also appeared in Super Mario Sunshine. So what gives?

One (true) King Boo

Right off the bat, I want to say that there is one "true" King Boo. Or in other words, the designs on the left and in the middle above are the same character. This is most blatant in Mario Kart Tour, where both designs appear and are considered alts of the same character with the same emblem and everything. Even characters that are evidently the same, like Cat Peach, Baby Peach and Peach, have different emblems at times. So that they have the same emblem seems a pretty open and shut case.

Beyond this, it is also noteworthy that in Mario Superstar Baseball, King Boo has bad chemistry with three characters: Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. The bad chemistry with the babies may be riffing on the fact children are afraid of ghosts, but the bad chemistry with Luigi suggests a specific reference to the Luigi's Mansion series which would once again indicate both designs are the same character. In the sequel, Mario Super Sluggers, he additionally has bad chemistry with Mario, which makes sense given his anger towards Mario in Luigi's Mansion and his multiple kidnapping attempts. He also has bad chemistry with Yoshi in Super Sluggers, which is not a clear reflection of any known event.

If both designs are the same character, it does beg the question as to why they look different in the first place, aside from the differences in atmosphere between the Luigi's Mansion series and other Mario subseries. Some have suggested it is due to the crown King Boo wears in the Luigi's Mansion series, which is inlaid with a jewel and amplifies his powers. However, this does not work. King Boo wears two crowns throughout the Luigi's Mansions game: one with a red jewel in the first game and one with a purple jewel in Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3. Only the second crown is said to amplify King Boo's powers. Furthermore, King Boo is seen in his Luigi's Mansion design without the power-enhancing gem at the end of Luigi's Mansion 3 and without any crown at the end of Luigi's Mansion.

Seán D. Walsh came up with the idea that in the Luigi's Mansion games (and by extension Mario Kart Tour), King Boo's appearance is different because he is angry. This would be in line with the appearance of Mad Boos and Mad Big Boos from Super Princess Peach, which have similar glowing eyes and a similar shadow around their eyes. It also fits since King Boo is generally angrier in the Luigi's Mansion series than he is in other games: in the first game due to E. Gadd capturing Boolossus and some past meddling of the Mario Bros. In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3 due to Luigi meddling in his personal plans (those unaffiliated with Bowser) multiple times.

This would mean that King Boo's design that first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is his default state of being, and there is also some support for this. In Mario Superstar Baseball, it is said the gold crown he has in that design is his trademark one: "The king of the Boos. The golden crown is his trademark, and while he looks similar to other Boos, it's obvious that he's much larger than the others."

Furthermore, the ghost of Yikk in Mario & Luigi's Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey also owns a figurine of King Boo in his tower. The figurine is of King Boo's design outside of the Luigi's Mansion series and given that Yikk is at least older than Bowser (since he isn't aware of Bowser), it seems that this is the appearance King Boo was most known by in the timeframe before Bowser's birth.

"King Boo" in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Super Mario Bros. Wonder adds a wrinkle to this topic, as in several levels, a Wonder Effect happens wherein King Boo appears (in his design introduced in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!). At the end of the Wonder Effect, this King Boo turns into a normal Boo and its gold crown falls away. Does this suggest this King Boo design is fake in some way after all?

Not quite. The King Boos in Super Mario Bros. Wonder only appear under the influence of Wonder Flowers' power when the playable characters collect the flowers and their appearances are thus rather situational. While Wonder Flower effects can last for longer periods of time as is the case with Castle Bowser, there is no indication Wonder Flowers are a factor in any previous games. Thus far, they have only appeared in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Run. These are random Boos being transformed into fake King Boos and they return to normal once the Wonder Effect passes.

Boss Boo in Super Mario Sunshine

The final thing to address is King Boo in Super Mario Sunshine. He is fought once under the casino in the basement of Hotel Delfino. The thing is this boss isn't called King Boo in Japanese, but Boss Boo: ボステレサ or Bosu Teresa (the Japanese name for Boo). King Boo meanwhile is called キングテレサ or Kingu Teresa.

The other thing of importance is that King Boo appears to be made of paint from Bowser Jr.'s Magic Brush. A lot (but not all) of the enemies in Super Mario Sunshine are made from paint, as is evident when they melt away into goop after being defeated like Petey Piranha or leaving dirty paint splotches behind like Strollin' Stus.

When King Boo in Sunshine is damaged and defeated, particle effects appear that are similar to those that appear when balls of goop hit the ground. This indicates this King Boo is another fake, this time produced by the paint of the Magic Brush.

Conclusion

So, how many King Boos are there? One, technically three. The one that appears in Luigi's Mansion and most other Mario games is the same individual. The ones that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Sunshine are fake King Boos, produced by Wonder Flowers and the Magic Brush respectively.
