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." <ref>http://m.ign.com/articles/1213654</ref>

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.


Princess Peach attempts to escape from Bowser, but Boom Boom and the Koopa Troop chase her down, recapture her, and lock her within a cage. He returns in World 7 and battles Mario in his airship, along with his partner, Pom Pom. Both are defeated, however.

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]].
