| |
| Boomerang Flowers first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They can be found lying on the ground, inside of [[? Block]]s, and after defeating some [[Boomerang Bro]]s. After obtaining it, Mario can throw a [[boomerang]] to defeat enemies and reach items from a far distance. However, Mario can only throw one boomerang at a time and must wait for his first boomerang to return or disappear before he can throw another. This power-up first appears in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-1]]. It is possible to get an [[Extra Life]] by just throwing a Boomerang at a [[Checkpoint Flag]] and repeatedly jumping over it until it hits the flag five times in a row.

| ====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
| | The Boomerang Flower reappears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and has the same function. |
| The Boomerang Flower reappears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and is present in both modes of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. The characters (bar Mario) and their boomerangs are now color-coded. | |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| Boomerang Flowers were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, appearing in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. They function nearly identically to previous appearances. When collecting the power-up, the sound that plays when transforming is the same as the [[Super Bell]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
| |
| The Boomerang Flower appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' as an item that the player may collect during matches. It drastically increases the fade or draw of a character. A golf ball and set of golf clubs designed based on this item are also available for [[Mii]]s to use.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| |
| ====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
| |
| [[File:MK8D Boomerang Flower.gif|thumb|[[Pink Shy Guy]] using a Boomerang Flower to attack [[Wario]] in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.]]
| |
| The Boomerang Flower first appears in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series as an item in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It allows the player to throw a boomerang forwards or backwards up to three times, hitting any karts in the way before returning to the player. It will also hit the opponent on the way back if the player misses the first time. When the player throws the boomerang, their item slot will become empty until it returns, allowing a different item to be collected during that time. If the boomerang returns while the player has no free item slots, it will vanish. The height of the vehicle affects the height of the boomerang's throw, which may result in low-down vehicles being too low to be hit by the boomerang thrown by a character in a tall vehicle.
| |
| | |
| In addition, a Boomerang Flower represents the [[Boomerang Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]'s official social media accounts jokingly referred to {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} as the Boomerang Flower's native habitat,<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=NintendoAmerica|date=October 18, 2022|url=x.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1582431440301883393?s=20&t=RTNDU7qNAUoE8XV-TOKrpA|title=Visit the native habitat of the Boomerang Flower in the Sydney Sprint course! Take a trip down under with Wave 2 of the #MarioKart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass today!|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=October 19, 2022|archive=web.archive.org/web/20221019161326/https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1582431440301883393}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=MarioKartEN|date=October 18, 2022|url=www.facebook.com/watch/?v=832707438164368|title=Visit the native habitat of the Boomerang Flower in the Sydney Sprint course! Take a trip down under with Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass today!|publisher=Facebook|language=en|accessdate=November 27, 2022}}</ref> owing to the fact that boomerangs are strongly associated with Australia, where the city of Sydney is located.
| |
| | |
| ====''Mario Kart Tour''====
| |
| The Boomerang Flower reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]] of [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Larry]], [[Toad|Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Boomerang Bro]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Kangaroo)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Vacation)]], [[Mario|Mario (Samurai)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Volendam)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Knight)]], [[Toad|Toad (Astronaut)]], [[Pauline|Pauline (Cowgirl)]], [[Shy Guy|Shy Guy (Ninja)]], [[Petey Piranha]], [[Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong (Gladiator)]], and the [[Mii|Bronze, Petey Piranha and Larry Mii Racing Suits]]. Its function has also changed significantly; instead of the player throwing the boomerang, the boomerang instead orbits the player's kart twice before flying away. The boomerang is also capable of collecting nearby coins and [[event token]]s automatically, as well as destroying hazardous items. Also unlike in ''Mario Kart 8'', the boomerang can only be thrown once. When Boomerang Flower+ is active, an extra boomerang is added, allowing the player to use two boomerangs instead of one. The [[Super Leaf]] functions similarly to the Boomerang Flower.
