History
Wario's Woods
Boom first appears in the 19th round. he takes nine hits from bombs before being defeated in Wario's Woods. In Toad's first encounter with Boom, he can create enemies at a rapid rate by meditating. He crosses his legs and floats in the air. In his second encounter, Boom can create enemies at even a faster pace. Like other bosses, Boom can throw enemies and teleport around. If Boom teleports on Toad, the latter loses instantly.
Super Mario (KC Deluxe)
Boom appears in two chapters of the Wario's Woods adaptation in the Super Mario Kodansha manga. He is summoned with Mad and Seizer by Fauster, after regaining some of his powers with Wario sacrificing Baby Luigi to him, who Boom asks if he can eat him, only to be promised his parents (Mario and Peach). Later, he is sent to stop Mario and his friends following Goro's defeat. After the heroes split up, Peach encounters Boom, and he jumps onto her to eat her, but she quickly grabs two bombs and shoves them into his mouth, causing him to explode. All that is left behind of him is cooked meat.
Super Mario-kun
Boom is the main antagonist of chapter 14 of Super Mario-kun volume 11. He tricks Mario and his friends to enter his restaurant, where they will be served as the food he will eat, after being cooked and then turned into actual food thanks to Boom's magical fork. Birdo, entering the story, attempts to help the heroes, but she too is turned into food. After eating Mario-salami, Wanda tricks Boom into eating some vegetables, including Yoshi (turned into a Carrot) and, after he joins Mario in the stomach, Mario bites Yoshi, transforming into Bunny Mario and exiting Boom's stomach. As Boom attempts to eat him back, Mario reveals that, with the vegetables, Wanda also left him a surprise: a bomb. Boom explodes, turning into roast beef, while Wanda uses the fork to turn the others back to normal.
