'''Beanerang Bros.''' (originally known as '''Boomerang Bros.''') are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Their name comes from a pun on "boomerang" and "bean." They inhabit [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], and only appear in battle alongside enemies such as [[Sand Cheep]]s, [[Sharkbone]]s, [[Elite Gritty Goomba]]s, and [[Elite Troopea]]s.

Unlike normal [[Boomerang Bro]]s., they are extremely tall and thin, wear sunglasses and white gloves, and have bean sprouts growing from their heads or helmets. Their relationship with their namesake appears to be similar to [[Troopea]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s or [[Lakipea]]s and [[Lakitu]]s; however, they share their name in the English and Japanese scripts of the original game. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', they are renamed to "Beanerang Bros."; their designs are relatively unchanged, but they now have proportionally larger shells and wear shoes.

Beanerang Bros. appear in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' alongside their normal counterparts. Like the Koopa Troop's Boomerang Bros., Beanerang Bros. are ranged troopers, attacking by throwing their boomerangs at enemies. Their special skill, Piercing Projectile, allows them to throw a boomerang at a targeted minion, damaging every minion in its path, along with damaging the targeted minion as it comes back. They are strong against [[Goomba Tower]]s and [[Pokey]]s.

==Battle==
Beanerang Bros. throw brown, pink-striped [[boomerang]]s at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], which can be dodged with [[jump]]s. Before throwing, their sunglasses will twinkle; if the right side of the glasses twinkle, the enemy will attack Mario, and if the left side twinkles, it will target Luigi. Sometimes a Beanerang Bro will throw its boomerang directly at Mario or Luigi, which will occasionally attempt to hit the opposite brother on its way back to the owner. At other times, however, a Beanerang Bro will throw its boomerang off-screen; when this happens, the boomerang will arc its way behind Mario or Luigi on the way back, trying to hit them before returning. Both attacks can [[trip]] the Mario Bros. should it hit them. Beanerang Bros. can also throw their boomerang at the Bros. in a more vertical arc, which must be repelled with the [[hammer]].

In the international version of ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Beanerang Bros are healed by [[Firebrand|fire-based]] attacks, but in the Japanese version as well as ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', they take damage from it instead.

They are capable of dropping [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga#Oho Gear|Oho Gear]] in Japanese versions of ''Superstar Saga''; this item was unused in international versions, though [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content|fully functional coding for the drop]] can be found. In the remake, they can drop [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions#Oho Gear|Oho Gear]] in all versions.
