Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]
Booler (known here as Bumpin' Boo[1]) appears as an obstacle on the Kracko Land stage of Kirby's Pinball Land. It flies around a Gordow and is worth 360 points when hit. Hitting them is necessary to call a Warp Star on that floor.

Booler appears as a common enemy in this game, and is worth 300 points when defeated. It usually drops a Block Flip item.
Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]
Booler reappears in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, appearing in some boss stages. Boolers often appear out of nowhere, holding position or trying to pursue Kirby when provoked.
