# Princess Boo Princess Boo, also known as Booette, Boosette or Princess King Boo, is a fan-drawn genderbend of Nintendo's ghost enemy King Boo wearing the Super Crown. The character broke out on Japanese and Western Twitter on September 24, 2018, riding the Bowsette Super Crown wave and racking up hundreds of thousands of likes on individual fan posts within a single day. ## Origin The character grew out of the Super Crown item Nintendo revealed during a Nintendo Direct on September 13, 2018 promoting New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[2]. The crown turned Toadette into a Princess Peach lookalike named Peachette, and six days later Twitter artist @ayyk92 posted a comic imagining Bowser using the same item, kicking off the Bowsette wave[2]. That comic pushed fans to try the Super Crown on other Nintendo characters, and King Boo was one of the earliest targets. On September 24, 2018 the Japanese hashtag キングテレサ姫 started trending on Twitter, and user sameduma uploaded a gif of Luigi being chased by the crowned character[1]. Nintendo developed King Boo as a game character but the meme edits were made by individual fan artists across Twitter and Tumblr, so the meme itself has no single creator[2]. - **Platform:** Japanese Twitter (source) / Reddit and Tumblr (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2018 ## Overview Princess Boo, also known as Princess King Boo, Booette, Boosette or PeachyBoo, is a fan-drawn genderbend of Nintendo's ghost enemy King Boo wearing the Super Crown[1]. The character sits alongside Bowsette in a wider burst of Super Crown fan art that hit Japanese and Western social media in late September 2018[2]. Artists typically draw her as a pale girl in a spiky crown, keeping King Boo's fangs or ghost tail as a visual tie back to the original enemy sprite[2]. The format leans hard on Luigi's Mansion imagery since King Boo is the final boss of that series, and many pieces show Luigi being chased or spooked by his newly-humanized rival[2]. Naming split by region: eastern fans mostly went with キングテレサ姫 (Princess King Boo), while western fans used Booette and Boosette in the same pattern as Bowsette[2]. A chubbier variant called PeachyBoo picked up a parallel following under its own name. ## How to Use Fan artists typically redraw King Boo as a pale, purple-tongued girl in a spiky crown, often keeping fangs, a ghost tail or the tongue-out sprite pose to signal the original character. Common conventions pair her with Luigi (referencing his role as her main antagonist across Luigi's Mansion) or slot her into ayyk92-style Super Crown transformation comics next to Bowsette. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Princess Boo?
