Line 45 ⟶ 46:
King Boo reappears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', available as of the 2019 [[Halloween Tour (2019)|Halloween Tour]]. He is classified as a Super driver, and his [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] is the [[Lucky Seven]].
The game also features two other playable variants of King Boo. '''[[King Boo (Luigi's Mansion series)|King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)]]''', also introduced to the game in the 2019 Halloween Tour, uses his design from ''Luigi's Mansion 3''. This variant is listed as a High-End character and has the [[Bob-omb Cannon]] special skill. '''King Boo (Gold)''' was introduced for the 2020 [[Halloween Tour (2020)|Halloween Tour]], sporting a golden body and blue-jeweled silver crown. Also listed as a High-End driver, he uses the [[Coin Box]] as his special skill and, like other metallic characters, a distorting filter is applied to his voice. Unlike most characters, King Boo's head icon is recycled from ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', rather than having a new one that uses his in-game model. Similarly, the head icons for his ''Luigi's Mansion'' and gold counterparts also use their in-game artwork.
In pre-release materials, including the [[List of Mario Kart Tour beta elements|beta test]], King Boo was classified as a Super Rare (High-End) driver and his special skill was the [[Double Bob-ombs]], sharing his change in classification between the beta test and final game with Rosalina.

In English and other localizations of the game, King Boo is incorrectly called [[Big Boo]], even though he is clearly different from the Big Boo of Big Boo's Haunt. Internally, they do use the same model, with a modifier denoting the presence of the crown.

King Boo usually considers his Boo minions as friends and cares for them. An example of this is in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' when he threatens to hurt [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] if the Mario Brothers dared to hurt his [[Paper Boo]] minion in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. He also has good [[chemistry]] with the playable Boo in the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', King Boo says that he finds little Boos cute.
