About this sound

The mischievous laugh of Boo from Super Mario Galaxy, a short ghostly giggle used in videos and streams to mark a spooky surprise or playful scare.

This is the high-pitched, echoing laugh of Boo, the shy ghost enemy from Super Mario Galaxy. It lasts less than a second, yet it lands instantly: a teasing, slightly sinister giggle that rises and falls as if the ghost has just appeared behind you and vanished again. The tone is playful rather than terrifying, which is why it works so well as a reaction sound. Hearing it makes a moment feel haunted in a cartoonish way, turning a simple jump scare, a failed attempt, or a sneaky reveal into something funny and memorable rather than genuinely frightening.

Pro tip

Drop it on the exact frame a character or twist appears from nowhere, then leave a beat of silence so the giggle lands. Pair it with a quick zoom or dark flash, but avoid looping it, since repetition dulls the spooky surprise.

How people use it

Creators use it when a ghost suddenly appears on screen.
Streamers play it after a teammate gets jumpscared in game.
Editors add it to spooky Halloween edits and prank reveals.
Meme makers drop it over a sneaky or unexpected plot twist.

More information

Boo is a recurring ghost enemy in Nintendo's Mario series, famous for chasing players only when they look away. Super Mario Galaxy, released for the Wii in 2007, brought Boo into three-dimensional haunted levels such as the Ghostly Galaxy, where its teasing laugh became part of the atmosphere. Clips of the laugh later spread through gameplay videos, reaction edits, and soundboards, where creators reused it far beyond Mario content. It remains popular because it is instantly recognisable, short, and funny rather than frightening, making it an easy shorthand for a playful scare.
