Template:Item-infobox Boomerangs are a type of weapon that have made numerous appearances throughout the Mario franchise.

History
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
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 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.
There is also an e-Reader card released only in Japan that uploads this boomerang to the player's inventory, allowing Mario to use it in any stage.
