'''King Boo''' is the oppressive leader of all the [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]s, the main antagonist of the [[Luigi's Mansion (series)|''Luigi's Mansion'' series]], and the arch-enemy of [[Luigi]]. He first appeared in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''. Throughout the series, King Boo devises and enacts his own villainous plots, with his most recurring and notable one being to kidnap [[Mario]] and imprison him within a [[Painting (Luigi's Mansion series)|painting]]. King Boo is skilled in creating illusions, and has the ability to materialize entire objects, most notably the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]].
Despite his major role in the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series, King Boo has a counterpart of [[King Boo|same name]] who, since his debut in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', has made several more appearances.

King Boo and his forces attacked the laboratory. The Boos reversed the settings of the Portificationizer and released Boolossus. King Boo then ordered that all the ghosts that E. Gadd had captured should be released as well. After releasing all the portrait ghosts, King Boo created a [[Luigi's Mansion (

While waiting for Luigi, King Boo and his Boo minions wait behind a secret door in the floor of the [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]]. When Luigi enters the room and reveals the secret door, the Boos spring out from the floor. However, the Boos (including King Boo) stop their surprise attack when they notice the [[Poltergust 3000]] on Luigi's back. Luigi had been given the Poltergust 3000 by E. Gadd so he could recapture the Portrait

Upon entering the Altar, Luigi notices King Boo staring at Mario in the painting while insulting the brothers' intelligence for having fallen for his scheme. King Boo then turns around to face Luigi and states his desire to add a Luigi painting to the collection. After this, King Boo flies into the Mario painting hanging on the wall. The picture of Mario transforms into Bowser, then the new Bowser painting inhales Luigi into the canvas, transporting Luigi into an arena that resembles the mansion's [[Roof (Luigi's Mansion)|roof]]. Luigi then confronts Bowser. In reality, this is a suit of Bowser that King Boo controls from the inside and uses as a shield.
King Boo uses this Bowser
After the battle, Luigi receives King Boo's crown, worth only 5000G (the equivalent of one [[Coin (Luigi's Mansion series)|coin]] despite being a gemstone), and adds it to his treasure collection. Upon returning to the mansion, Luigi quickly travels to Professor E. Gadd's lab. In the lab, Luigi connects the Poltergust to the professor's Portrificationizer, dumping its contents into the machine.
====''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''====
[[File:King Boo Artwork - Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.png|thumb|
King Boo reappears in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game, ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' once again as the main antagonist and final boss.
It is revealed later in the game that [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] had sold the portrait of King Boo from ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' at a garage sale (a car boot sale in

During the final battle, King Boo summons a series of magic lightning bolts with his crown and will attempt to slam Luigi with his body. The latter causes spiked balls to fall from above, which will roll around the tilting platform to pose a hazard. King Boo will stop moving when looked at, and when caught underneath a falling ball he will become stunned, leaving him vulnerable to the [[Poltergust 5000]]. Once his HP is depleted and he gets sucked into the Poltergust 5000, he immediately breaks out and sends Luigi into a floating hallway. He then swells to a large size and begins rolling after Luigi, attempting to stall Luigi with various obstacles, such as falling shelves and suits of armor with large polearms. If King Boo does hit Luigi, he'll pause for a moment to laugh maliciously. Once Luigi makes it out of the hall, he will land on another tilting platform, where King Boo will repeat his previous patterns at a higher intensity. The battle concludes after the third battle and second hallway chase, leading to King Boo's defeat and being sucked into the Poltergust 5000.

====''Luigi's Mansion Arcade''====
King Boo is the final boss in ''[[Luigi's Mansion Arcade]]'', and leads his ghosts in an uprising to get revenge on Luigi and Professor E. Gadd. However, after Luigi has sucked in all of his minions with the [[Poltergust 5000]], King Boo assaults Luigi on the [[Terrace (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)|terrace]] of the [[Treacherous Mansion]]. Protected by a magical barrier, he can only be attacked once he lets his guard down. King Boo throws bombs at the player, moves very quickly and clones himself multiple times over the course of the fight. However, only the original has the power-enhancing gem on his crown. Just like in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', he escapes the Poltergust 5000 two times before being defeated for good.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', King Boo is featured as a variation of the main King Boo, and is distinctly titled '''King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)'''. Both King Boos were introduced in the 2019 [[Halloween Tour (2019)|Halloween Tour]], with the one from the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series having his first playable appearance. This variant is listed as a High-End character and has the [[Bob-omb Cannon]] special skill. King Boo (Luigi's Mansion) is designed after his appearance in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', which released just days after the Halloween Tour.

===''New Super Luigi U''===
King Boo makes a small cameo in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in the Secret Exit of [[Vanishing Ghost House]], where his ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' artwork can be seen in the form of a sign hanging from the side of the building.
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', King Boo is featured as an Advanced-class Neutral-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], and is the enhanced form of the Boo spirit after it has reached level 99. When equipped, the spirit grants the fighter slower fall speed after jumping and has 3 support slots. King Boo is listed as the 49th spirit, though he was listed as the 121st spirit alongside the rest of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series spirits in version 1.0.0 of the game.<ref>BeardBear (December 6, 2018).

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
[[File:King Boo Artwork - Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.png|thumb|King Boo's redesigned appearance for ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'']]
King Boo's original design in ''Luigi's Mansion'' depicted him with dark red eyes, a blue tongue, two vampire-like fangs, a greenish complexion, and a ruby in a gold, round-edged crown. He is also roughly the same size as other Boos. Starting with ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', this design was slightly modified, though it still mostly resembles his original appearance, albeit with a full row of four teeth and large size typical of King Boo's modern design. Other differences include a larger shadow surrounding his eyes, a dark indigo mouth and tongue, and his crown containing a purple jewel and pointed edges. His {{media link|King Boo Artwork - Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.png|artwork}} depicts him with purple eyes instead of red, its color in-game, and without his crown's pointed edges. He has also lost his original green tint, now ranging from purplish to pure white.
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', King Boo resembles his appearance from ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', and shows more expression, scowling at Luigi when first being found by him and appearing visibly distressed when captured in the game's credits. King Boo was given purple eyes. His speech icon also uses a green shading reminiscent of his initial appearance, while his portraits show him with a purple crown. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', the ''Luigi's Mansion'' variant of King Boo is designed after his ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' appearance, although his tongue is more purple than indigo.
===Personality===
[[File:King Boo and Luigi LMDM artwork.png|thumb|left|King Boo shows a particular disdain for Luigi]]
King Boo is shown to harbor a deep hatred for both Mario and Luigi. In ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo claims that this is because of they have caused him a lot of trouble in the past, although with ''Luigi's Mansion'' being King Boo's debut appearance, this is not elaborated upon. King Boo's grudge towards Luigi is reflected in his interactions with the plumber, such as by insulting him. By comparison, the main King Boo outside the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series does not harbor as much of hatred or a grudge toward Luigi.
King Boo is shown to independently devise and enact his own villainous plots. This is unlike his standard counterpart from the overall ''Mario'' franchise, who assists Bowser in appearances such as ''Super Mario 64 DS'' and ''Super Princess Peach''. In ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo even has a Bowser decoy assist him during the final boss battle, and both of them are shown within the same painting.
King Boo loves to scare and toy with his opponents, rather than defeating them quickly. In ''Luigi's Mansion'', he chooses to use his powers to blow Luigi back to the [[Foyer (Luigi's Mansion)|foyer]] instead of trying to finish him off while at maximum power, and enjoys watching Mario struggle from within the painting he was trapped in, stating Mario's desperate attempts to break free were "satisfying." In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', [[Professor Elvin Gadd|Professor E. Gadd]] mentions that King Boo redesigned the [[Treacherous Mansion]] to make it "scarier."
Despite his huge size and immense power, King Boo still covers his face in fear when looked at, much like a normal Boo, showing that he still has a shy nature like his minions; however, also like a normal Boo, he attacks when his foe's back is turned. King Boo has a distinct cackle, which is significantly lower in pitch than other Boos. He also has an echo in his roar. King Boo is generally fearless, although in ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo's fear of the [[Poltergust 3000]] is shown when Luigi accidentally frees him and 50 Boos from the [[Storage Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Storage Room]], because when King Boo notices of the [[Poltergust 3000]], he instructs all of the Boos to flee.
In ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo appears to be considerate of his Boo minions, such as when he freed [[Boolossus]] some time after Boolossus was captured by Professor E. Gadd. In subsequent ''Luigi's Mansion'' titles, King Boo receives an even darker tone to his personality. In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', he does not show any concern for his Boo minions, and in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' King Boo even indirectly calls them useless. King Boo especially does not care for ghosts who are not Boos, including his admirer [[Hellen Gravely]], and only uses them during his plans rather than keep them as his subjects alongside his Boos. As with many other main antagonists, King Boo becomes infuriated when his plans do not turn out the way he wants.
In ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', King Boo also has a bit of a sarcastic demeanor as well, as when formally revealing himself to Luigi before fighting him, he references his previous defeat at the hands of Luigi as "Good times," despite clearly being angry and vengeful over it. In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', King Boo impersonates Mario and Luigi's Italian accent saying, "It's-a me, King Boo!" and uses false comfort towards Luigi. In the same game, King Boo is shown to have a degree of cunning, as it is strongly implied that he deliberately had Hellen Gravely guard only Mario's portrait in anticipation of Luigi defeating her so that he could then use [[Princess Peach]]'s portrait as bait to draw out both Mario and Luigi to try and recapture all the portraits, a plot that nearly turned out successful.
===Powers and abilities===
[[File:King Boo and Bowser Platinum frame LM 3DS.png|thumb|left|180px|In ''Luigi's Mansion'', King Boo uses a lifelike Bowser suit to do battle.]]
Besides possessing the abilities of other Boos, including the ability to teleport and turn invisible, King Boo has a numerous amount of other powers. Notably in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', King Boo's power increases when he is in the presence of other Boos. For example, King Boo has the power to blow Luigi to the Foyer when enough Boos are in the mansion. King Boo also has the power to materialize things, including pulling a complete mansion out of the ghost dimension and creating lifelike paranormal replicas of some of Mario's enemies. He has shown the ability to create Boos or dimensions to battle in and even bubbles and blue fire, which he spits out of his mouth. In ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', King Boo is shown to have the ability to grow in size.
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', King Boo exhibits new abilities such as being able to open [[paranormal portal]]s (which lead to the ghost dimension), create traps such as sand patches, electrify the terrain to shock Luigi, and teach Boos how to create [[Spirit Ball]]s. His new crown can also shoot an ectoplasmic laser that can shatter the [[Dark Moon]] or trap [[Toad (species)|Toads]] within paintings. King Boo can create illusions, hence his title "The Master of Illusions." His power is also no longer reliant on the presence of other Boos, although it is stronger when there are other Boos in the vicinity.
[[File:LM3 King Boo Final Battle.png|thumb|In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', King Boo can create clones and shoot fireballs from his crown.]]
In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', King Boo is shown to summon magical paintings to trap people and to a certain extent objects inside. He can also enlarge the portraits in order to ensure he captures all his targets, as an extension of his paranormal portals. King Boo is also able to clone himself. also does not seem to even need the presence of other Boos to grow stronger. In addition, it is also implied that he can still maintain control of the ghosts via his crown gem even when he himself is incapacitated, as the ending had the ghosts Luigi captured swarming to attack Luigi, only to be restored to their senses after the gem vanishes from Luigi's hands.
===Relationships===
====Enemies====
King Boo is the arch-nemesis of Luigi in the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series, akin to [[Bowser]] being the arch-nemesis of [[Mario]] throughout the overall ''Mario'' franchise. However, King Boo also deems Mario as one of his primary adversaries, and was somehow able to capture him in a [[Painting (Luigi's Mansion series)|painting]] in every ''Luigi's Mansion'' title. Professor E. Gadd is another character whom King Boo despises, mainly for his ghost-capturing hobby, and in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', King Boo reveals his desire to get revenge on E. Gadd by trapping him within a portrait. In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', King Boo manages to successfully imprison E. Gadd within his own portrait, and does the same for [[Princess Peach]]. Once Luigi rescues all the [[Toad (species)|Toads]], King Boo takes possession of Peach's portrait, knowing that Luigi will come for her once he saves Mario from Hellen Gravely.
====Allies====
While King Boo gets along with other Boos, he is not shown to have any close friendships. In ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', King Boo's admirer, [[Hellen Gravely]], is also a dedicated fan of his. Around the start of the game, Hellen Gravely releases King Boo in hopes of impressing him and aiding him in his plot for revenge against Luigi. King Boo is indifferent to Hellen Gravely, and even manipulates her into being one of his pawns in his plan for vengeance. When Luigi rescues most of his friends, with only Mario and Peach remaining, King Boo retains low faith in Hellen Gravely's capabilities, and as part of his contingency plan, King Boo leaves Hellen Gravely to defeat Luigi if she succeeds or be captured if she fails as part of his contingency plan. King Boo eventually deems Hellen Gravely useless for being unable to subdue Luigi and keep his friends imprisoned.

Seriously, though, who would actually believe that mansions get given away in contests?! Talk about stupid! What do they feed you Mario brothers anyway...gullible soup? Your brother came all this way just to get turned into a painting... It's just terrific. However... This Mario painting looks lonely... I must have a Luigi painting as well!

The [[Hellen Gravely|hotel owner]] here was just dying to meet me, so she busted me out. Pretty lucky, huh? Anyway, I didn't think that you'd actually show up here. I was ready though, just in case. In fact, my vengeance is nearly complete! What do I mean by "vengeance"? Glad you asked! I'm trapping you and everyone in your vacation party... in frames! Awww, there there, Luigi. It'll be over soon. It's time for a family reunion! BOO-YA! [...] Mwah ha ha! Take THAT! Oh, and there's one more frame, of course. I saved it especially for you!

Ahem. Anyway, just because you vacuumed up all of those ghosts doesn't mean you can take me on! It doesn't matter that you beat the [[Hellen Gravely|hotel owner]]... Hellen Gravely! Ooooooo!

I have to do everything myself! I'm sick of this! No more mercy for you, Luigi! No more tricks--no more carefully laid plans! Now it's time for raw King Boo gusto! You're all going in a painting! An ensemble portrait is your fate!''" - ''Luigi's Mansion 3''
