Boo CHONK Chart

This took me more time than it should have because I wanted the Boo's to look as close to in game as I could get them, but I am very proud of it.

I like to think E.Gadd keeps this poster in his lab somewhere

I also Made some blank sheets for those who may also want to make their own Boo Chonk sheet, or any other Chonk sheet they wish

Wanna play a game of poker with him?

PHEW.. this took a lot less time tho than my others. I guess because 2 RP things that brought him up urged me to actually do it a lot quicker than normal so we both know what the hecky we're looking at.

Along the way of doing so tho, it really helped me figure him out beyond just 'he's a fun little guy who drives his brother insane.'

Though, really, he's not technically real. Just like in sunshine, he's made from Jr's paintbrush, and the more I thought of how roughly Jr painted KB, I decided to 'roughly' reimagine my LM KB Gijinka design. So in a way, the two could be twins, but King Boo felt bad for the dude and deiced to keep him around while also giving him his own paintbrush with limited abilities.

Just as his brother sees his, The Casino King sees his boos as his children and will get annoyed if his staff or guests hurts them in any way. Trust me, it's hard to make the dude mad, but that's one sure fire way to do it. Or if you cheat and he catches you doing it. 😂 Of course.. whether or not he cheats is left up to the imagination. With his abilities, nobody can walk away knowing…

He does have a boyfriend I wanna dabble up but omg, this and Ignatius I think I can only handle for my vacation week. I did also draw a base of him so I can add on his swim clothing at a later date.

I'll do his toyhouse bio later.

I'm back at it again with another completely rendered Luigi X King boo except this time it's King Boo from Island Delfino

Ignore the background I only put two cents into it

Honestly, my favorite part of this piece has to be the Hawaiian shirt that Boo is wearing as well as the shorts that Luigi is wearing

Don't be afraid to zoom up. Maybe you'll find something

Also, if you're curious, boo has an orange creamsicle while Luigi has a caramel fudge brownie ice cream

Although it seems like Luigi got curious about the other flavor

How many King Boos are there?

King Boo is a reoccurring antagonist in the wider Mario franchise and the main villain of the Luigi's Mansion subseries. Some questions surround him, like if there are multiple of him or just one. This is because his design has changed somewhat depending on which series he appears in.

He debuted in the first Luigi's Mansion game, where he appears as a large Boo with a blue tongue, glowing eyes and a shadow over his eyes. This design would generally be followed in the other games in the Luigi's Mansion series, but outside it, King Boo received a tamer design. The second game he appeared in was Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where he just looks like a large Boo with a more generic golden crown. This would go on to become King Boo's standard design outside the Luigi's Mansion series. Some believe these different designs are different characters and to complicate matters, a third variation with strange eyes and a long tongue also appeared in Super Mario Sunshine. So what gives?

One (true) King Boo

Right off the bat, I want to say that there is one "true" King Boo. Or in other words, the designs on the left and in the middle above are the same character. This is most blatant in Mario Kart Tour, where both designs appear and are considered alts of the same character with the same emblem and everything. Even characters that are evidently the same, like Cat Peach, Baby Peach and Peach, have different emblems at times. So that they have the same emblem seems a pretty open and shut case.

Beyond this, it is also noteworthy that in Mario Superstar Baseball, King Boo has bad chemistry with three characters: Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. The bad chemistry with the babies may be riffing on the fact children are afraid of ghosts, but the bad chemistry with Luigi suggests a specific reference to the Luigi's Mansion series which would once again indicate both designs are the same character. In the sequel, Mario Super Sluggers, he additionally has bad chemistry with Mario, which makes sense given his anger towards Mario in Luigi's Mansion and his multiple kidnapping attempts. He also has bad chemistry with Yoshi in Super Sluggers, which is not a clear reflection of any known event.

If both designs are the same character, it does beg the question as to why they look different in the first place, aside from the differences in atmosphere between the Luigi's Mansion series and other Mario subseries. Some have suggested it is due to the crown King Boo wears in the Luigi's Mansion series, which is inlaid with a jewel and amplifies his powers. However, this does not work. King Boo wears two crowns throughout the Luigi's Mansions game: one with a red jewel in the first game and one with a purple jewel in Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3. Only the second crown is said to amplify King Boo's powers. Furthermore, King Boo is seen in his Luigi's Mansion design without the power-enhancing gem at the end of Luigi's Mansion 3 and without any crown at the end of Luigi's Mansion.

Seán D. Walsh came up with the idea that in the Luigi's Mansion games (and by extension Mario Kart Tour), King Boo's appearance is different because he is angry. This would be in line with the appearance of Mad Boos and Mad Big Boos from Super Princess Peach, which have similar glowing eyes and a similar shadow around their eyes. It also fits since King Boo is generally angrier in the Luigi's Mansion series than he is in other games: in the first game due to E. Gadd capturing Boolossus and some past meddling of the Mario Bros. In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Luigi's Mansion 3 due to Luigi meddling in his personal plans (those unaffiliated with Bowser) multiple times.

This would mean that King Boo's design that first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is his default state of being, and there is also some support for this. In Mario Superstar Baseball, it is said the gold crown he has in that design is his trademark one: "The king of the Boos. The golden crown is his trademark, and while he looks similar to other Boos, it's obvious that he's much larger than the others."

Furthermore, the ghost of Yikk in Mario & Luigi's Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey also owns a figurine of King Boo in his tower. The figurine is of King Boo's design outside of the Luigi's Mansion series and given that Yikk is at least older than Bowser (since he isn't aware of Bowser), it seems that this is the appearance King Boo was most known by in the timeframe before Bowser's birth.

"King Boo" in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Super Mario Bros. Wonder adds a wrinkle to this topic, as in several levels, a Wonder Effect happens wherein King Boo appears (in his design introduced in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!). At the end of the Wonder Effect, this King Boo turns into a normal Boo and its gold crown falls away. Does this suggest this King Boo design is fake in some way after all?

Not quite. The King Boos in Super Mario Bros. Wonder only appear under the influence of Wonder Flowers' power when the playable characters collect the flowers and their appearances are thus rather situational. While Wonder Flower effects can last for longer periods of time as is the case with Castle Bowser, there is no indication Wonder Flowers are a factor in any previous games. Thus far, they have only appeared in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Run. These are random Boos being transformed into fake King Boos and they return to normal once the Wonder Effect passes.

Boss Boo in Super Mario Sunshine

The final thing to address is King Boo in Super Mario Sunshine. He is fought once under the casino in the basement of Hotel Delfino. The thing is this boss isn't called King Boo in Japanese, but Boss Boo: ボステレサ or Bosu Teresa (the Japanese name for Boo). King Boo meanwhile is called キングテレサ or Kingu Teresa.

The other thing of importance is that King Boo appears to be made of paint from Bowser Jr.'s Magic Brush. A lot (but not all) of the enemies in Super Mario Sunshine are made from paint, as is evident when they melt away into goop after being defeated like Petey Piranha or leaving dirty paint splotches behind like Strollin' Stus.

When King Boo in Sunshine is damaged and defeated, particle effects appear that are similar to those that appear when balls of goop hit the ground. This indicates this King Boo is another fake, this time produced by the paint of the Magic Brush.

Conclusion

So, how many King Boos are there? One, technically three. The one that appears in Luigi's Mansion and most other Mario games is the same individual. The ones that appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario Sunshine are fake King Boos, produced by Wonder Flowers and the Magic Brush respectively.
