10 Video Game Characters Who Used The Fourth Wall Against You

10. King Boo - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (2013)

The whole premise of the Luigi's Mansion games is already a little out of left field compared to the Mario Bros' usual colourful adventures. Armed with the Poltergust ghost vacuum, Luigi must navigate an alarmingly haunted old mansion hoovering up all the invading evils as he goes.

In the 2013 sequel, Dark Moon, Luigi and Professor E. Gadd examine a recon photo of a particularly active area of the mansion. The image shows a number of Boos floating around a room with a model train track running through it.

Towards the right of the track is a Boo with its back turned to the camera. The crown on its head is the dead giveaway that this entity is, in fact, the recurring character King Boo - but what you certainly <i>weren't</i> able to deduce is what comes next.

Despite being in a photo, King Boo turns around and looks straight forwards with glowing eyes. Not at Luigi or the professor, it would seem...but at YOU.

What is it with Nintendo and their out-of-nowhere jump scares?
