Trivia
- Though a new power-up in the series, Mario is able to use a Boomerang in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 by scanning the Boomerang e-Card from the e-Reader or by taking it from a defeated Boomerang Bro. that threw blue Boomerangs. It is not a power-up, as Mario loses the Boomerang after completing a level. The boomerang's design is based on said boomerang. Its moves are also similar as well.Template:Refneeded
- The boomerangs used look similar to the Magical Boomerang from The Legend of Zelda.
