Kaboomka Fireworks Factory



Kaboomka Fireworks Factory is an organization seen very briefly in Valiant's Super Mario Bros. comics. More specifically, it was seen only in Fryguy High Yearbook -- Activity Page!.

Kaboomka Fireworks Factory's name and appearance show that it quite obviously produces fireworks, rocket-like objects that can produce a glittery effect. (In the Real World, and therefore probably on the Mushroom Planet, fireworks are shot off on special occasions.) Fireworks are launched by lighting a fuse on the very bottoms of them; this feature caused a great calamity when the Fryguy students of Fryguy High took a field trip to Kaboomka Fireworks Factory. Presumably, the fiery bodies of the Fryguys lit the fireworks, resulting in the confused explosion of the factory. Although a group of Toad firefighters were seen during the implosion, it is unknown if they managed to save the factory.

Interestingly, the "Kaboomka" part of the Kaboomka Fireworks Factory's name is very similar to the name of the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island enemy Kaboomba, who appeared later. The naming similarities are most likely coincidental, though, and both the word "Kaboomka" and Kaboombas are named after the the phrase "Ka-boom!", onomatopoeia for an explosion.
