'''Boomer''' is the third of many different [[Pixl]]s that [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Luigi]] discover in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and one of the twelve original Pixls created by the [[Tribe of Ancients|Ancients]]. His special ability is to turn into a bomb that explodes, as alluded to by his name. His explosive ability fulfills the same role as [[Bombette]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and [[Bobbery|Admiral Bobbery]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Boomer can be used to open up areas that were once closed off by barriers, and his explosions can defeat enemies at a distance. The player must press {{button|wii|1}} on the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] to set and then detonate the bomb. Eventually, Boomer will also blow up on his own, or he can be detonated immediately by being hit with Bowser's [[Fire Breath]]. It is possible to throw Boomer a short distance by setting him, then quickly switching to [[Thoreau]] and picking him up. The only way the player can defeat [[Shlurp]]s, [[Shlorp]]s, and [[Dark Shlurp]]s is to get them to swallow Boomer once, twice, or thrice respectively. Also, in Chapter 3-4, Peach uses Boomer to blow up [[Francis]]' laptop after Francis uses [[Swoon.exe]] to try to flirt with her.

Before joining Mario's party, he asks the following questions. The player is given a choice between two responses for each question, but both are in agreement with Boomer’s statements, only with different emphasis:
#You stay up wonderin' if anyone ever gives presents TO [[Santa Claus]].
#For some reason, you clean your room before a test.
#When someone says, "Let's just be friends," you think, "Yeah, whatever."
#You don't really understand why I'm askin' you all these questions.
#You think shoppin' online is a wonderful and magical experience.
#You once put on a shirt inside out but didn't bother reversin' it before goin' out.
#You wanna be sleepin' when you're awake, but when you're tired, you wanna wake up.
#You're gettin' real tired of these questions.

==Notes==
*Boomer's name, along with [[Slim (Pixl)|Slim]]'s, was announced at GDC 2007.
*The bomb [[Mimi]] attempts to use on the heroes in [[Sammer's Kingdom]], as well as those used by [[Ninjoe]]s, [[Ninjohn]]s, and [[Ninjerry]]s, are identical to Boomer's bomb form since they have the ability to become decoys.
*Boomer is the only [[Pixl]] in the game required to access and beat the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials]] due to some of the rooms containing members of the [[Shlurp]] family.
