'''Boom Boom''' (sometimes stylized as '''Boom-Boom''' or '''BOOM-BOOM''') is one of [[Bowser]]'s henchmen, and the most well-known member of the [[Boom Boom (species)|Boom Boom species]]. He is an antagonist in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] and among [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]'s most persistent foes. Boom Boom first debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where he battles [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in [[fortress]]es, before the Mario Bros. fight a [[Koopaling]] in an [[airship]]. Boom Boom then later made his appearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as one of the game's main antagonists who often appears in airships, along with his partner [[Pom Pom]]. A Prima Guide stated that Boom Boom was a "forgotten Koopaling".

After 23 years of absence, Boom Boom makes his return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]], along with a new, boomerang-wielding, female partner named [[Pom Pom]]. In this game, Boom Boom now has an audible voice for the first time; here, he is portrayed by [[Lani Minella]], who gives him a quite deep voice. In an interview, Koichi Hayashida explained that "when Tanooki Mario appeared, some members of the team wanted to include Boom Boom and the Koopalings. Then we created a type of gameplay where the enemy follows as you run around the room, and we thought this would be interesting, so we used Boom Boom to put it into the game."

 

Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Bowser, and the Koopa Troop, have invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to kidnap [[Princess Peach]], and took most of the [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] during a storm. Mario received a letter from Bowser, and went after them. After the defeat of the first [[False Bowser]], Boom Boom appears in some airships, where he could encounter and fight his old rival Mario. Like most bosses, Boom Boom can return after each defeat. After he was defeated in World 3, Pom Pom replaced him. Boom Boom was absent throughout the next few worlds.

 

 

===''Super Paper Mario''===

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', one of the [[Sammer Guy]]s that can be fought is named Flailing Boom Boom, which is an apparent reference to Boom Boom and how he would flail his arms around in battle in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

*"''Cruising for a bruising in Bowser's airships, Boom Boom and Pom Pom wait for you in the lower chamber. They may look tough, but they're both of a pushover-three quick stomps to the head will take them out.''"
