The Boomerang Flower first appears in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series as an item in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It allows the player to throw a boomerang forwards or backwards up to three times, hitting any karts in the way before returning to the player. It will also hit the opponent on the way back if the player misses the first time. When the player throws the boomerang, their item slot will become empty until it returns, allowing a different item to be collected during that time. If the boomerang returns while the player has no free item slots, it will vanish. The height of the vehicle affects the height of the boomerang's throw, which may result in low-down vehicles being too low to be hit by the boomerang thrown by a character in a tall vehicle. | The Boomerang Flower first appears in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series as an item in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
