Boomer (Super Paper Mario)

"S-S-S-BOOOM!"

- Boomer (Pixl)

Boomer is the third of many different Pixls that Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi discover in the Wii video game Super Paper Mario. His special ability is to turn into a bomb that, obviously, blows up. This will open up areas that were once closed off. The 1 Button on the Wii Remote used to set, and then detonate the bomb. Boomer will also blow up on his own eventually. Boomer is also able to defeat enemies from a distance. His name, along with Slim's, was announced at GDC 2007.

Before joining Mario's party, he asks the following questions. No matter how they are answered, they are virtually the same, just with different emphasis:
 * 1) You stay up wonderin' if anyone ever gives presents TO Santa Claus.
 * 2) For some reason, you clean your room before a test.
 * 3) When someone says, "Let's just be friends," you think, "Yeah, whatever."
 * 4) You don't really understand why I'm askin' you all these questions.
 * 5) You think shoppin' online is a wonderful and magical experience.
 * 6) You once put on a shirt inside out but didn't bother reversin' it before goin' out.
 * 7) You wanna be sleepin' when you're awake, but when you're tired, you wanna wake up.
 * 8) You're gettin' real tired of these questions.

Trivia

 * Boomer shares his name with a boss from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
 * Being an eyed bomb-like creature, Boomer bears a great resemblance to the Bob-omb; ironically, Bob-ombs did not make a single appearance in Super Paper Mario, with the exception of Bombette and Bobbery, which were only mere cameo appearances.
 * Boomer has the same ability as Bombette from Paper Mario, and Bobbery from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
 * He got his name from the word "boom", onomatopoeia for an explosion.
