As hinted in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Boos have their own unique language called Booish. It most probably is spoken only by Boos since Mario cannot understand it. However, upon absorbing a [[Boo Mushroom]] and turning into [[Boo Mario]], he gains the ability to read it, if not speak it as well. ''[[Paper Mario]]'' also features Boos replacing certain words with "Boo", possibly as a part of the Booish language. | As hinted in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Boos have their own unique language called Booish.

==As an Item== | |||
A Boo, probably the sneakiest Item in ''Mario Kart'', temporarily turns the racer who is using it completely invisible to all other opponents. The player him/herself sees their Kart turn into a ghost, similar to the ones in [[Time Trials]]. While invisible, the racer can't be hit by any Items whatsoever, and they are also not hindered by driving off-road. However, they still slow down when they crash into walls (Sorry guys, no passing through walls. That'd be, like, cheating.) and you can drive off the track. But still, it is extremely convenient for cutting corners and avoiding incoming Items, making a Boo a great recovery and defensive Item. | |||
In addition to invisibility, a Boo will go and fly off to another racer who has an Item. They can steal it, and then fly back to it and bring it to you (yeah, stealing is perfectly legal in ''Mario Kart'')! It could be anything from a [[Star]] (great Item) or a [[Green Shell]] (an OK Item)-it just depends on whatever the other opponent have. In all games except for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', it will steal the strongest item in play, and in ''Super Mario Kart'', the steal will work even if the opponent's Item Roulette has not yet stopped. If no one has anything, well.. too bad. No Item for you! But don't worry, Boo will still come back to say goodbye. It just won't deposit anything in your Item inventory. | |||
In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', Boo will steal from the main item slot of a random racer who is ahead of the user, and place it in the user's reserve slot. [[Fire Flowers]], [[Boomerang Flowers]], [[Golden Dash Mushroom]]s and Triple items will be fully restored as if the player had just got them from the Item Box. It will not steal [[Piranha Plant]]s or [[Bullet Bill]]s that are currently in use, nor will it steal [[Crazy 8]]s. It also will not steal other Boos, as it is impossible to have more than one in play at a time. If there is nothing to steal, he will give the user a free [[Mushroom]]. The invisibility no longer prevents slowdown from driving off-road. | |||
