- “...I only talk to Boos. So get lost!”
- —Jill Board, Super Mario Galaxy
Jill Board is a character in Super Mario Galaxy. She is a talking, sentient board that, unlike the other boards, is not friendly toward Mario (or Luigi), as she tells he to get lost if he talk to her. Instead, Mario must become Boo Mario in order to speak with her, since she only talks to Boos.
She appears only in the Boo's Boneyard Galaxy, where she is located at the entrance of the pipe near a Boo Mushroom. Unlike the other boards, Jill Board does not teach Mario a new mechanic. Instead, she asks him if he remembers how to control Boo Mario, and offers to teach him again if he does not remember.
After Boo Mario passes through the front crystal wall, Jill Board appears again on the ceiling, congratulating him for progressing.
