| | '''Boomer''' is one of the many different [[Pixl]] creatures in the [[Wii]] video game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. His special ability is to turn into a bomb that, obviously, blows up. This will open up areas that were once closed off. As the game has not yet been released, it is unknown if Boomer will also be able to kill enemies. His name, along with [[Slim]]'s, was announced at GDC 2007. |

| '''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.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *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.
