In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', there were fifty Boos under the command of King Boo that help him in his scheme, and all of them are released from a chest opened by [[Luigi]] within the mansion. From that point forward, Boos could be found hidden in various rooms, and they would attempt to escape from Luigi or in some cases attack him. Luigi could capture each Boo with the Poltergust by using the machine to drain all of their HP. Boos could escape to other rooms, and it was also possible to run into multiple escaped Boos at the same time in other rooms. There were thirty-five Boos appearing in individual rooms, who each had unique names that were puns involving "Boo". The other fifteen Boos were the ones that merged together to comprise Boolossus and did not have individual names. Only 40 of the individual Boos had to be captured to beat the game, and capturing all 50 would reward Luigi with a Gold Diamond. | In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', there were fifty Boos under the command of King Boo that help him in his scheme, and all of them are released from a chest opened by [[Luigi]] within the mansion.

Boos reappeared in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' as the minions of King Boo, but their behavior and abilities were altered. These Boos were shown to have the ability to make different objects invisible, and a Boo was usually revealed by restoring hidden objects with the [[Poltergust 5000]]'s new Dark-Light function. After being revealed, a Boo would float around while invisible, and Luigi would have to use the Dark-Light function to make them visible. At this point, the Poltergust could be used to tug on the Boo's tongue and send it flying, draining much of its HP in the process. After a Boo's HP was completely depleted, it could be captured. There was only one Boo found in each non-boss mission, and they had pun names as in ''Luigi's Mansion''. A Big Boo composed of 10 Boos also served as the second-to-last boss of the game, faced in Mission E-4. Boos were stored in [[E. Gadd]]'s Boo Canister, and collecting all Boos in an area would unlock an extra mission for that area. There were a total of 32 Boos in the game, counting the 10 Boos that composed the Big Boo. Aside from the Big Boo, only three of the Boos' captures were necessary to progress through the game. | Boos reappeared in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' as the minions of King Boo, but their behavior and abilities were altered.
