'''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".

He also appears in the Special Worlds of the game. In {{world|S8|crown}}, Mario fights both Boom Boom and Pom Pom at the same time; however, Boom Boom's spins create flames. When Pom Pom is defeated, the red floor will lower to the ground temporarily. Also, a Boom Boom that requires only one hit to be defeated can appear in the Special Worlds' [[Mystery Box (Super Mario 3D Land)|Mystery Boxes]].
