▲Regardless, King Boo aids Bowser in his conquest of Peach's Castle by capturing Luigi and imprisoning him in Big Boo's Haunt. Specifically, Luigi is imprisoned behind a [[painting]] of himself inside the haunted mansion. [[Mario]] heads to the [[Big Boo Battle]] level to save Luigi. Upon entering the level, he is greeted by King Boo, and from there he must listen for King Boo's cackle and enter the door where it is loudest. Eventually, Mario reaches the end and fights King Boo to free Luigi. To defeat King Boo, Mario has to follow King Boo's movements in the arena's mirror and [[stomp]] him when he comes close enough. Ultimately, Mario saves his brother from King Boo, and together (with [[Yoshi]] and [[Wario]] once the latter is saved) they defeat Bowser and save [[Princess Peach]].
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.

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.
