'''Booler''' is a floating ghost-like enemy which appears in early [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]]. It resembles a [[mariowiki:Boo|Boo]] from the ''Mario'' franchise, though it does not behave similarly. It flies about in various patterns, either going in straight lines, circles, bounces, or seeking Kirby directly. Booler can appear out of thin air under certain circumstances.
