Character Description
Physical Appearance
Pom Pom appears to be the female counterpart of Boom Boom, but having 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 Beetles, while other Koopas have shells with plates and grooves, makes her look much more special. 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.
Powers and Abilities
Pom Pom's way of fighting is similar to that of a Boomerang Bro. She would throw at least two boomerangs at Mario and then jump in far distance. She also spins in her shell to attack Mario anytime she gets injured, though in a different manner from Boom Boom and the Koopalings. She hovers in her hard shell and tries to land on her opponent. Pom Pom can shake her airship just by impacting the floor with her spinning shell.

"Cruising for a bruising in Bowser's airships, Boom Boom and Pom Pom wait for you in the lower chamber. They may look tough, but they're both of a pushover--three quick stomps to the head will take them out."
"Adding a dash of glamour to Bowser's army of minions, Pom Poms lead Mario a merry dance with their silky smooth moves."
