'''Pom Pom''' is a boss who debuted in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where she appears as the boss of various [[airship]]s. She appears to be both the female counterpart and partner of [[Boom Boom]], and is often seen wielding a shuriken with a ribbon on it. Pom Pom shares her name with a loose, fluffy material used by cheerleaders and sports fans, or in crafts, the pom-pom. Her red head scales, pink body, and red spotted shell resemble the original sprite of [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

'''Pom Pom''' is a boss in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. She appears to be both the female counterpart and partner of [[Boom Boom]]. She is also seen wielding a [[boomerang]] with a ribbon on it. Pom Pom often appears on airships where she could fight Mario or [[Luigi]]. She is the fourth female member of the [[Koopa Troop]] to appear in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]], the first three being [[Wendy O. Koopa]], [[Kammy Koopa]], and [[Kamella]]. Pom Pom shares her name with a loose, fluffy material used by cheerleaders and sports fans, the pom-pom.


==History==
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
===''Super Mario 3D Land''===
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:Femaleboomboom.jpg|thumb|left|170px|Pom Pom's battle with [[Mario]] in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
[[File:N3DS SM3DL screenshot_29.png|thumb|left|170px|Pom Pom's battle with [[Mario]] in ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
At the beginning of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom, Boom Boom, [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopa Troop]] had invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] during a storm, stole the [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] and kidnapped [[Princess Peach]].
Pom Pom debuts in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as one of the two secondary antagonists and bosses encountered alongside Boom Boom. At the beginning of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom, Boom Boom, [[Bowser]], and the [[Koopa Troop]] had invaded the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] during a storm, stole the [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] and kidnapped [[Princess Peach]].
 
After the defeat of Boom Boom in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]], Pom Pom resides in her pink [[airship]], first seen in [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4]]. Shortly before fighting [[Mario]] (and later [[Luigi]]), she winks at them in a somewhat flirtatious manner. In battle, Pom Pom will throw [[boomerang]]s at Mario, a maximum of 2 Boomerangs, and jump a fair distance, similar to a [[Boomerang Bro]] (though she does back flips and front flips). When Pom Pom takes damage, she will hover in her shell and try to land on Mario, unlike Boom Boom. This can be avoided by stepping to the side, and repeatedly jumping on top of her shell during her hover attack will yield a number of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. After taking three stomps from Mario, Pom Pom is defeated and will vanish, releasing ten coins.
 
Pom Pom reappears in [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6]]; this time, the arena's floor is covered in fire on the side of the platforms. She will occasionally jump to different platforms in this battle, but otherwise is fought the same. In [[World 7 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7]], Pom Pom will fight her last battle in the regular worlds with Mario, alongside her partner Boom Boom (using Boom Boom's battle theme). Unlike the first two encounters, she will throw a maximum of three boomerangs instead of two. After defeating Bowser, she and Boom Boom appear frequently in the Special Worlds, fighting against Mario and Luigi separately until [[Special 8-Crown|the last level]], where they fight together for the last time, this time using her own theme.
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DW Pom Pom Battle.png|thumb|Pom Pom attacking [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]]]
Pom Pom returns in the sequel ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. She appears the same, but is now smaller when compared to Boom Boom. She throws {{wp|shuriken}}s, rather than boomerangs, and she uses transparent clones (the number of which varies depending on where fought and how many hits she took) to aid her in her boss fights, which also throw shurikens; the clones vanish if attacked. The difference between her and the clones lies mostly in her hair bow which the clones lack and the color of her shuriken (the clones have gray shurikens, while she has a pink one with a red bow on it). She is the first boss of World 3 in the level [[The Bullet Bill Express]], but Mario and the others have a rematch with her in {{world|bowser|train}} [[The Bowser Express]], where she produces more clones. In her third encounter in {{world|flower2|12}} [[Boss Blitz]], she reuses her strategy from the first encounter.
 
Unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom does not go in her shell after being damaged. Instead, she immediately makes clones again and continues throwing shurikens.
 
In the credits, she can be seen next to Boom Boom, comforting him over their recent loss.
 
Pom Pom also appears in the Nintendo Switch port ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'' where, along with keeping her role in the main game, she appears as '''Cat Pom Pom''' in the ''Bowser's Fury'' side story. The battle is exactly the same as in the main game.
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2-SM3DW-PomPom.png|thumb|left|Pom Pom in ''Super Mario Maker 2'']]
Pom Pom appears as an enemy in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where she can be placed only in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Like in ''Super Mario 3D World'', Pom Pom creates a clone of herself and attacks by throwing shurikens; after the first hit, she spawns two clones, and after the second, she spawns three.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''===
Pom Pom is a goalie for the [[Football (Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Football]] event in the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''. The player can take control of Pom Pom in Football only, making this her first playable appearance in a game.
 
===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Pom Pom is a playable character in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''. In baseball, she is classified as a Power type character. In soccer, she is one of the two selectable goalies, with the other being Boom Boom. Players can have two Pom Poms in the same field at once.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Super Mario Party''====
{{quote|Hiya! I'm Pom Pom! I hate losing, so let's make sure we win!|Pom Pom|Super Mario Party}}
[[File:SMP image5.png|thumb|Pom Pom in ''Super Mario Party'']]
Pom Pom makes her ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' debut as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. She has to first be unlocked by completing the fifth world of Challenge Road, Salty Sea. This is the first game in which Pom Pom has spoken dialogue, as well as the first game where Pom Pom is physically present while Boom Boom is not (or second  if the Nintendo 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' is counted separately from the Wii U version), as the latter only makes a small cameo as artwork of one of the possible characters in the minigame [[Absent Minded]].


Pom Pom's special [[Dice Block]] in this game contains four faces with a "3", one face with a "0", and one face with an "8".
After the defeat of Boom Boom in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]], Pom Pom resides in her pink [[airship]], first seen in [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4]]. In battle, Pom Pom will throw [[boomerang]]s at [[Mario]], a maximum of 2 Boomerangs, and jump a fair distance, similar to a [[Boomerang Bro.]] (though she does back flips and front flips). When Pom Pom takes damage, she will hover in her shell and try to land on Mario, unlike Boom Boom. This can be avoided by stepping to the side, and repeatedly jumping on top of her shell during her hover attack will yield a number of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. After taking three hits from Mario's stomps, Pom Pom is defeated and will vanish while releasing many coins.


====''Super Mario Party Jamboree''====
Pom Pom reappears in [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6]]; this time, the arena's floor is covered in fire on the side of the platforms. She will occasionally jump to different platforms in this battle, but otherwise is fought the same. In [[World 7 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7]], Pom Pom will fight her last battle in the regular worlds with Mario, alongside her partner Boom Boom. Unlike the first two encounters, she will throw a maximum of 3 boomerangs instead of 2. After defeating Bowser, she and Boom Boom appear frequently in the Special Worlds, fighting against Mario and Luigi until the last level. For unknown reasons, shortly before fighting the Mario Bros., she winks at them in a somewhat flirtatious manner.
{{new subject|section=y}}
Pom Pom is not playable in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' but returns as a host of the Survival mode in Minigame Bay.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch/a7hla/harbor/index.html スーパー マリオパーティ ジャンボリー:ミニゲームハーバー]. ''Nintendo''. Retrieved August 30, 2024.</ref>


===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
On a side note, both Pom Pom and Boom Boom are referred to in the plural sense on the European and Australian websites of ''Super Mario 3D Land''<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/SUPER-MARIO-3D-LAND--274908.html Nintendo.co.uk's page on ''SM3DL'' reads]: "''Boom Booms lie in wait for Mario on the battleship.''" and "''Pom Poms lead Mario a merry dance''". (Retrieved January 21, 2013)</ref>, rather than individuals in the overall [[Boom Boom (species)|Boom Boom species]]. Therefore, it's possible that the player is fighting different Pom Poms and Boom Booms on the various ships, although the North American website suggests that they're one pair of recurring characters<ref name="SM3DL NA">[http://supermario3dland.nintendo.com/ Nintendo.com's page on ''SM3DL'' reads]: "''Boom Boom & Pom Pom [...] may look tough, but they're a bit of a pushover''". (Retrieved January 21, 2013)</ref>, the Prima guide refers to them in the singular, and even the Japanese website implies Pom Pom is a unique individual by describing her as 「クッパ<span class=explain title="ぐん">軍</span>の<span class=explain title="こういってん">紅一点</span>。」, meaning "The Koopa army's lone female."<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/arej/ Nintendo.co.jp's ''SM3DL'' page] (Retrieved January 21, 2013)</ref>.
Pom Pom appears alongside Boom Boom as an Ace-class Attack-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} with one support slot in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is the enhanced form of the Boom Boom [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] once it has reached level 99. The image used to represent the spirit is Boom Boom and Pom Pom's group artwork from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
==General Information==
Pom Pom appears as an assistant in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In stage mode, she grants a chance that one [[virus]] is eliminated when starting a stage, but won't completely eliminate a virus that requires multiple hits to be eliminate such as [[floatie virus]]es or [[bubble]]s containing viruses. In versus mode, she grants a chance that one virus is eliminated if the player is about to lose, which only happens once per match.
===Physical Appearance===
 
[[File:Femaleboomboom1.png|thumb|right|Pom Pom's game model from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]
==General information==
Pom Pom appears to be the female counterpart of [[Boom Boom]], though she has a ponytail and a pair of beads on her head, shorter arms than Boom Boom's, and a smoother and smaller shell with dots similar to that of [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, while other [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s have shells with plates and grooves. She has magenta and tan skin and head. She has shaped cheeks, a high nose, a low jaw, and deeply curved lips, similar to that of the [[Koopalings]], and has two large teeth like her male counterpart. Unlike Boom Boom, Pom Pom has red eyes instead of black. Her closest resemblance (apart from Boom Boom) is [[Wendy O. Koopa]].
===Physical appearance===
[[File:Pompom3dLand.png|thumb|Game model of Pom Pom from ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
Pom Pom appears to be the female counterpart of Boom Boom. She has red eyes and a tan-colored head, with blonde hair containing a small, orange fade; the hair is styled into a short ponytail and adorned with a pair of light green beads. Pom Pom's skin is colored magenta, her foot pads are pink, and her arms are more normally proportioned in comparison to Boom Boom's; her red shell is smoother and smaller with pastel red dots, making it closer to those of [[Buzzy Beetle]]s as opposed to the standard [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] shells with plates and grooves. Pom Pom has a high cream snout, and her mouth has two prominent fangs; her head shape is very similar to the [[Koopalings]], particularly [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]. Since ''Super Mario 3D World'', Pom Pom also has clawed hands similar to Boom Boom.
 
===Identity===
There has been inconsistent wording on whether there is more than one Pom Pom. Both Pom Pom and Boom Boom are referred to in the plural sense on the European and Australian websites of ''Super Mario 3D Land'',<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-3DS-games/SUPER-MARIO-3D-LAND-274908.html|title=''Super Mario 3D Land''|publisher=Nintendo of UK|language=en-gb|accessdate=July 6, 2024|quote=Boom Booms lie in wait for Mario on the battleship." and "Pom Poms lead Mario a merry dance}}</ref> rather than individuals in the overall Boom Boom species. Therefore, it is possible that the player is fighting different Pom Poms and Boom Booms on the various ships; however, the North American website refers to them singularly,<ref name="SM3DL%20NA">{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20130201215330/http://supermario3dland.nintendo.com|title=Official Site – ''Super Mario 3D Land'' for Nintendo 3DS|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=July 6, 2024|quote=Boom Boom & Pom Pom [...] may look tough, but they're a bit of a pushover}}</ref> the Prima guide also refers to them singularly and as siblings,<ref>{{cite|author=Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=88|date=November 22, 2013|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-804-16249-4|quote=Pom Pom fights completely differently than her brother.}}</ref> and even the Japanese website implies Pom Pom is a unique individual by describing her as 「クッパ{{ruby|軍|ぐん}}の{{ruby|紅一点|こういってん}}。」, meaning "The Koopa army's lone female."<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/arej/index.html|title=スーパーマリオ 3Dランド|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref> In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', one of the official courses is named [[Target: A Single Pom Pom]], and both its English and Japanese description contradicts the above, implying that Pom Pom is a species.
 
===Abilities===
In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom's way of fighting is similar to that of a [[Boomerang Bro]]. She throws at least two to three boomerangs at Mario, and then jumps away. She also spins in her shell to attack Mario anytime she gets hurt, though in a different manner from Boom Boom and the [[Koopalings]]: She hovers in her hard shell and tries to smash on her opponent overhead. Pom Pom can shake her airship just by impacting the floor with her spinning shell. Pom Pom is highly acrobatic as she can perform high jumps and elegant flips after she attacks.
 
In ''Super Mario 3D World'', she uses the art of ninjutsu to battle. She performs a hand gesture to disappear into pink smoke, which splits and teleport across the arena. She reappears from the split smoke with a large horde of clones equipped with large shurikens to attack with the real Pom Pom, who can be identified by her hair tie and pink shuriken with a bow, traits the clones do not share.
 
===Personality and traits===
Similarly to Boom Boom, Pom Pom is a faithful servant to Bowser and is one of the higher-ranking Koopas in the Koopa Troop. According to the commentary in ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'', Pom Pom wants to be refined and elegant, but is actually prone to losing her temper.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160417083036/http://www.game-ost.com/static/covers_soundtracks/5/3/53465_495712.jpg|format=JPG|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' Soundtrack Booklet|quote=Pom Pom adds a little ladylike elegance to Bowser's crew... or so she'd like to think, anyway. She wants to be refined and elegant, but is actually prone to having major meltdowns. She's a complex character and we wanted to get this across in the music|language=en|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref> This aspect of her personality is supported by her actions in ''Super Mario Party'': Pom Pom generally makes ladylike poses in most of her animations, but whenever she loses a minigame, she jumps up and down in an angry fit before pouting.  


In most of her appearances, Pom Pom is partnered with Boom Boom; the two are shown to work well together. Likewise, Pom Pom usually does not get along with Mario and friends due to their interferences in Bowser's plans and their victories against her, but like the rest of Bowser's minions, she is not above being friendly with them when off the clock. For example, in both ''Super Mario Party'' and ''Super Mario Party Jamboree'', Pom Pom is treated politely by Toad and Toadette and plays friendly party games with Mario and his friends in the former game, and is quite supportive towards them even when they lose in the latter game. Similarly to Boom Boom, Pom Pom does not speak in most games; however, she communicates through grunts, yells, and roars.
===Powers and Abilities===
Pom Pom's way of fighting is similar to that of a [[Boomerang Bro.]] She throws at least two to three boomerangs at Mario, and then jumps away. She also spins in her shell to attack Mario anytime she gets hurt, though in a different manner from Boom Boom and the [[Koopalings]]: She hovers in her hard shell and tries to smash on her opponent overhead. Pom Pom can shake her airship just by impacting the floor with her spinning shell. Pom Pom is highly acrobatic as she can perform high jumps and elegant flips after she attacks.
