'''Boomer''' is an honorable sword fighter and a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. After [[Smithy]]'s forces occupy [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]], Boomer is placed in charge of the new base. He is the last high-ranking member of the Smithy Gang encountered in Mario’s World.

After [[Mario]] fights his way past Smithy's minions, Boomer challenges Mario's party to a duel on chandeliers, the same chandeliers on which Mario fights [[Bowser]] at the beginning of the game. In battle, Boomer wields a {{wp|katana}} and can switch between red and blue forms. While red, he is weak to magical attacks, and while blue, he is weak to physical attacks, though unless successfully affected by [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[Mute (move)|Mute]] ability, he will immediately counter an attack of each respective weakness with the powerful [[Shaker]] attack. After he is defeated, like in the battle with Bowser, the screen flashes white as the fire in the chandeliers' candles goes out (unlike the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) | Switch version]] where the candles remain lit); suffering from an asthma attack, Boomer severs the rope holding the chandelier he is on and plummets to the ground (although the [[Shyndelier]] implies that he survived the fall), allowing Mario and his party to pass unhindered to the giant sword [[Exor]].  

Boomer closely resembles a {{wp|shogun}}, which is an ancient Japanese commander. He even has an inscription of the Japanese flag on his helmet in his character artwork from the original.
