'''Boomerangs''' are a type of weapon that have made numerous appearances throughout the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. When thrown, a boomerang will fly forward, harming any foes who happen to be in its path, then circle back to the user. They are the weapon of choice of the [[Boomerang Bro]]s, but can also be used by [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Toad]], and [[Rosalina]] upon grabbing a [[Boomerang Flower]]. [[Mona]] also uses her boomerang as her main weapon in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''.

A special blue boomerang makes an appearance in some of the [[World-e]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. When thrown, this boomerang defeats most enemies it hits. It briefly flies forward before turning around, though it only does so once; as such, Mario must catch it (by holding {{button|gba|b}}) if he hopes to re-use it. However, it disappears upon level completion, much like a [[Goomba's Shoe]].

Certain Boomerang Bros are also shown using these boomerangs in [[Slidin' the Slopes]], [[Bowser's Last Stand]], and [[Bowser's Airship 2]], and if they are defeated while one of their boomerangs is out, it drops for the player's use.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', racers can get a boomerang to throw up to three times, via a Boomerang Flower. Opponents can steal one by pressing {{button|wiiu|zl}} while near one, boosting into a boomerang holder with a Mushroom, or using a [[Boo]] (''Deluxe'' version only), however.

A single blue boomerang with a red stripe appears on the logo for the sponsor [[List of sponsors in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe#Boomerang Bros. International Airlines|Boomerang Bros. International Airlines]], though the color changes in some of the logo's variations.

The Boomerang Flower returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the special item of [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Toad|Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Boomerang Bro]], [[Shy Guy|Shy Guy (Ninja)]] and [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Kangaroo)]]. The boomerang now orbits the user's kart twice before flying off. It can also collect coins and destroy track hazards. Boomerang Bro's boomerang appears in his [[trick]] animations.

 

Boomerangs also appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as the weapons the players use to take out the [[Pokey]]s in the minigame [[Home on the 'Rang]].

Boomerangs were added as items in the 1.3.0 update for ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. When used, they clear out a selected row hitting everything in it once. Unlike other objects that travel in a path, they are not obstructed by [[Empty Blocks]]. Of the in-stage items, this is the only one that is not available as a VS reward and much rarely as a prize in events, as the main means of obtaining them are either through the Boomerang Pack in the shop or as an offer for [[Diamond (Dr. Mario World)|diamonds]] when the player frequently failed a stage in stage mode. If players do not have any more free uses of this item, a price of 12 diamonds is required to use it.

|''Boomerang Mario would use this item to collect faraway items and defeat distant enemies. In Smash Bros., it can be thrown up, down, left, or right. If you throw it, you can catch it again on the return trip. The boomerang gains power with each throw, so try to keep catching it!''

|''As thrown by Boomerang Mario! He used this to hit enemies and collect faraway items. Here, though, you can throw it up, down or to the side, then touch it when it flies back to catch it. Simple! And as long as you don't drop it, it'll get more and more powerful with every throw, so make sure you do catch it, all right?''
