The first known appearance of boomerangs in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] series was in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Crocodile Mario]]", which was set in a locale based on [[Australia]], known as [[Down Under Land]]. In this episode, [[Koopa Troopa]]s attacked [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] with boomerangs; later on, Mario bent his [[All Purpose Portable Plumber's Helper|plumber's helper]] into a working boomerang of his own, which he dubbed as his "plumberang".


The first game that featured Boomerang Bros. and their weapon of choice was ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They have since appeared in many different games, including the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series and most recently, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' featured a [[Beanbean Kingdom|Beanish]] variety of Boomerang Bro. that wielded brown boomerangs, unlike normal Boomerang Bros., which typically favor white boomerangs.
The '''Boomerang''' is an item that make its appearance in some of the [[e-Reader]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. When thrown, the blue boomerang defeats any enemy it touches before returning to Mario, who much catch it using the B button if he hopes to re-use it.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there is a special variety of blue boomerangs that Mario can use, which are only made available through use of the [[e-Reader]]. While a few Japan-only levels featured blue boomerangs, only one of these was made available in other regions: the [[World-e]] level ''[[Slidin' the Slopes]]''. Near the end is a Boomerang Bro. with a blue boomerang that is dropped when the enemy is defeated; the player can then pick it up and use it for the remainder of the level, though it disappears upon completion, much like the [[Goomba's Shoe]]s. Once thrown, the blue boomerang defeats any enemy it touches before returning to Mario, who much catch it using the B button if he hopes to re-use it. There was also an e-Reader card released only in Japan that uploaded a boomerang to the player's inventory; the item worked the same way as the blue boomerangs.


In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', the Boomerang Bro. player uses a boomerang as a baseball bat.
While a few Japan-only levels featured blue boomerangs, only one of these was made available in other regions: the [[World-e]] level ''[[Slidin' the Slopes]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Yoshi]] can eat Boomerang Bros' Boomerangs. Also, if [[Yoshi]] swallows a [[Crabber]] he can spit out his claw and it will act like a boomerang.
There was also an e-Reader card released only in Japan that uploaded a boomerang to the player's inventory; the item worked the same way as the blue boomerangs.


In the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game, ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', is a new power-up named [[Boomerang Mario]]. Not much is known about it. Also, a female counterpart to [[Boom Boom]] is also seen wielding a Boomerang.
