King Boom Boo
From the Sonic News Network, the Sonic Wiki
King Boom Boo is a boss character in the game Sonic Adventure 2. He is a giant ghost, and the leader of the ghosts in the Death Chamber level (yet there are the same red-eyed ghosts in Pumpkin Hill level and Aquatic Mine level), and like other ghosts in the Sonic universe he is repelled by light.
Knuckles encounters King Boom Boo while searching for keys to a door Sonic and the others were trying to get through. In the boss battle, Knuckles runs around a circular arena while followed by King Boom Boo who throws blue fireballs at him (and may also attempt to bite him at close range). Occasionally the ghost stops to spew a huge blue wave of flames, and during that time Knuckles must stun King Boom Boo by activating an hourglass which opens panels in the ceiling, making light fill the room. King Boom Boo has not appeared in any game since Sonic Adventure 2. This is because he was destroyed after his defeat because of too much exposure to sunlight.
In Sonic X, King Boom Boo appears several episodes before the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation. He haunts an ancient castle along with the smaller Boom Boos and Boos, but is trapped in it forever by Sonic and his friends. He also is capable of coherent speech in this continuity, only babbling, grunting, and roaring "BRAAAA!" in SA2.
King Boom Boo is a resemblance of Nintendo's King Boo. When fighting him, the player can see a picture of a Nintendo regular Boo, and a regular Boom Boo on the wall.
[edit] Trivia
- King Boom Boo was suggested as a new character for Archie comic issues following #134, but the plot line in which he was to have featured appears to have been cut.
