'''Boomerang Bros.''' are variants of [[Hammer Bro]]s. that specialize in the use of boomerangs for weapons. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where their name is formatted '''Boomerang Brothers'''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=41|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|date=1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''NES Game Atlas'' Nintendo Player's Guide|page=48|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=Spring 1991|language=en}}</ref> Instead of throwing [[Hammer]]s like the Hammer Bros., Boomerang Bros. use [[Boomerang]]s that move back and forth to them. They are not as commonly found in the ''Super Mario'' franchise as their Hammer Brother relatives. The physical appearance of Boomerang Bros. has changed throughout the series. Early artwork depicts them identically to Hammer Bros. of that era, with orange skin along with black shells and helmets. The Boomerang Bros. in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' appear to be based on this coloration. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its remakes, they have green skin and striped underbellies. ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' started the trend of depicting Boomerang Bros. with yellow skin and blue shells and helmets. Most games since have retained this depiction.

In their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Boomerang Brothers are green-skinned (sky blue in [[Treasure Ship]]s and {{world link|8|tank3|World 8-Big Tanks}}) Hammer Brothers that throw multiple boomerangs that return to them. As with every other Hammer Brother variant, they face the player as they move back and forth in a small area, occasionally jumping and attacking with one or two projectiles at a time, and defeating them via [[stomp]]ing yields 1000 points, while defeating them with any other attack (hitting the block below them, [[Shell Toss|thrown shells]], [[fireball]]s, tail swipes from [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]], hammers from [[Hammer Mario]], and contact with players made invincible by a [[Super Star|Starman]]) gives out only 100 points by default, unless the enemy was not one of the first to be defeated by the thrown shell. While they usually retrieve the boomerangs they throw, there are certain circumstances where they do not; namely, if the Boomerang Brother is eliminated before they can make contact with their boomerangs, if they jump over their own returning boomerangs, or if they throw their boomerang while jumping, causing it to fly over their heads upon its return (unless they jump and catch it at the last second); in these cases, the boomerangs continue traveling forward while onscreen, never looping back again.

Not counting Treasure Ships, a total of 11 Boomerang Brothers appear in the game, with six of them residing in [[Desert Land]]. Two separate individuals appear in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-3]], one in [[World 1-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-4]], two [[Enemy Course|patrolling]] the map of Desert Land (with one holding a [[Music Box]] and the other a [[hammer]]), three in [[World 2-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 2-4]], one by the end of {{world link|2|desert|World 2-Desert}}, one as the boss of the aforementioned {{world link|8|tank3|World 8-Big Tanks}}, and one as the penultimate enemy of the first [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]].

Aside from these levels, a pair of Boomerang Brothers serve as the bosses of [[Treasure Ship]]s, special coin-filled airships that are summoned whenever the player fulfills certain conditions. In the [[Family Computer]] and {{wp|Western world|Western}} [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] releases, the Boomerang Brothers present in Treasure Ships and {{world link|8|tank3|World 8-Big Tanks}} are sky blue as opposed to their usual green skin, due to the space in the data most commonly occupied by green palettes being replaced by a sky blue palette in artillery levels.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/nes/supermariobros3/sheet/25685/ Discussion on The Spriters Resource]</ref> Futhermore, Boomerang Brothers are represented by the same map icon as Hammer Brothers. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Boomerang Brothers have their own map icons.

A total of nine Boomerang Brothers appear in [[World-e]]. One Boomerang Brother by the end of [[Slidin' the Slopes]] uses special blue [[boomerang]]s. When defeated, all of its boomerangs that are currently flying will drop to the ground, allowing the player to pick one up and use it for the rest of the level (provided that they catch it whenever it returns to them; otherwise, the boomerang will be lost). Two more appear in a Hand Trap-like section of [[Bowser's Last Stand]] (with the second one throwing blue boomerangs), another two in the first section of [[Koopaling Confusion]], a pair inside of [[Bowser's Airship 1]], and the last two inside [[Bowser's Airship 2]] (with the first one throwing blue boomerangs).

Boomerang Bros. make their first 3D ''Super Mario'' appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They first appear at [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]], and like the Hammer Bros. that appear before them, only appear in galaxies at the end of their respective world. Three of them appear at the end of the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]], where they have to be defeated to get the Power Star in [[The Ultimate Test|the first mission]] and the final [[Launch Star]] in [[The Perfect Run|the second mission]]. As usual, Boomerang Bros. use boomerangs to attack the player. If one is defeated while its boomerang is out, the boomerang will still turn around and fly back towards the area from which it was thrown until it hits a wall. Yoshi can catch the boomerangs with his tongue and then spit them out as weapons against the Boomerang Bros. The player can flip them over by using Yoshi's tongue, by jumping on them or via [[spin]]ning, and then walk into them to defeat them. It is possible to avoid boomerangs by crouching, and since Mario can walk while crouching, this makes it relatively easy to approach and defeat a Boomerang Bro.

The Boomerang Bros. return again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', operating in the same manner as before. Unlike the other Hammer Bro members that are in this game, the Boomerang Bro appears in five different levels, which are [[World 2-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-2]], [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-5]], {{world link|mushroom|cannonn2|World Mushroom-Warp Cannon}}, the [[Second Course (Platform Panic Pack)|second course]] of the [[Platform Panic Pack]], and the [[First Course (Mystery Adventures Pack)|first course]] of the [[Mystery Adventures Pack]]. In the latter, it is shown that they can be affected by [[Gold Ring]]s; when this happens, they toss three coins instead of their normal weapons, like the other Hammer Bro species.

A different kind of Boomerang Bro appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. These Boomerang Bros., however, were rather tall and thin, wore sunglasses, and had sprouts growing from their heads. In [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|the remake]], these are renamed "Beanerang Bros.," with regular Boomerang Bros. now appearing in the new ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' story.

In ''Minion Quest'', Boomerang Bros. are ranged troopers, and attack by throwing their boomerangs at enemies. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Piercing Projectile, allows them to throw a boomerang at a targeted enemy, damaging any other enemy in its path, along with hitting the targeted enemy a second time as it flies back. Boomerang Bros. are strong against [[Pokey]]s and [[Goomba Tower]]s. One is seen alongside [[Wendy]], who was wondering how [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] and his Squad made it through the first round of the Cutie Contest without some [[Koopa Troopa]]s, which he confirms that they did not, causing him to get tackled by Wendy.
