UPDATE HISTORY (Latest update: 11/29/01)

0.1 11/24/01  Boos 1-51. In other words, FAQ is finished. Probably another
update but I don't know when.
0.2 11/25/01  Pretty small but somthing, for a odd reason, showed up on my
guide which was a part of my schoolwork. It's edited out now so people don't go
around confused.
0.3 11/27/01 Started giving the "signifigance" of the names thanks to the
suggestion of PK Fortis. I'll try to get 'em all up soon.
0.4 11/29/01 December practically here, and that means freezing... I added
another "signifigance" thanks to Ryouga.




A BOO INTRODUCTION (SPOILER INCLUDED)

Welcome to Luigi's Mansion! Luigi finds his mansion only to discover that the
Boos have created this mansion as an illusion and have trapped Mario in a
painting! For those who aren't familiar with Boos in Luigi's Mansion here is an
explanation: The Boos are ghosts who like to trick people and have been
defeated by Mario in the past. They award Luigi a mansion in a contest he
didn't even enter! When Mario arrives, the Boos appear, 51 in all, and trap him
inside a painting! King Boo, however, isn't satisfied. He wants a Luigi
painting as well! That's why you need to prove him wrong! The Boos like to
scatter about and they scram when they discover you have the Poltergust 3000
with you. Boos like to hide in dark places of light rooms so whenever you light
a room, your Boo Radar (see next chapter) will begin to flash. This guide will
help you overcome the 35 hidden Boos and the two Boo bosses: Boolossus where 15
Boos form to create a huge Boo and King Boo who is responsible for all of this.


THE BOO RADAR

After you free the Boos, (see next chapter) Prof. E. Gadd will call you back to
his lab. He will tell you he had a feeling something like this would happen so
he secretly developed the Boo Radar into your Game Boy Horror. The Boo Radar
appears at the top of your GBH and will remain BLUE when no Boo is in the room
or when the room is dark, flash YELLOW when a Boo is hiding somewhere, and
flash RED when you are near the object the Boo is hiding in. It's pretty
simple.


RELEASE THE BOOS!
The Boos can be released only in Area Two. After you defeat the Floating
Whirlwinds in the Ballroom, you'll get the key to the Storage. Defeat the
ghosts in the Storage and then look in the mirror. You'll see a switch on the
opposite wall. Press it to make the wall move. Now go to the extended part and
pull the poster to make another switch appear. Press it and you'll open the
trapdoor on the floor and release the Boos. The hunting begins!

of the two unicorn statues and use the horn of the unicorn to pop Boolossus.
It'll become 15 Boos again. Freeze the Boos with ice and vacuum them when they
fall. After a while Boolossus will form again. As it gets smaller, it becomes
faster. Keep vacuuming the Boos until Boolossus is gone. Automatic 15 more

500 HP
Location: Secret Altar

Battle Location: Roof
How to Beat:
After you are transported to the roof Luigi will look around and then Bowser
(???) will appear. It turns out it isn't Bowser, but a clever disguise. King
Boo is in there and as long as he is, the Poltergust is useless. King Boo's
attacks consist of a vacuum breath that sucks you up and does about 15 points
of damage. His second and most common is a fire breath that'll do 10 points of
damage. His third is throwing three spiked balls which will explode and can do
10 points damage. Beware of the wind vacuum because if you are caught in it,
you'll blast out stunned and King Boo will breathe fire to cause an additional
10 points to your 15. Now the key to beating him is this: When King Boo throws
the three spiked balls at you, equip your Poltergust's suction and walk toward
it. Touch the ball with your Poltergust while it is pulling air in and the ball
will get stuck. King Boo will be running toward you during this and when he
leans back to shoot flames, take a few steps back, and shoot the ball into his
mouth when it opens. Be careful that the ball doesn't explode when you do all
this! The Bowser head will fly off and King Boo will appear. Now's your chance!
You'll find that when you vacuum up King Boo his HP decreases pretty fast.
Meanwhile the Bowser head will fly around and shoot ice at you. If you are hit,
you'll loose connection and freeze, causing your HP to decrease fast. Quickly
move the joystick back and forth to thaw out! After a while, King Boo will
break connection on it's own and get back inside the Bowser costume. Repeat the
process of throwing the spiked balls into Bowser's mouth. When his HP hits 200
hit points or less, King Boo will fly back into the Bowser costume and put it's
head on backwards. This is easy to dodge. King Boo will run around the arena
for like, ten seconds and then put it's head back on the right way. Keep going!
Get your brother!


NOTE: If you get all 50 regular Boos, a gold diamond is yours for the taking.
