Boomer is the third of many different Pixls that Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi discover in Super Paper Mario. His special ability is to turn into a bomb that explodes. This will open up areas that were once closed off. The player must press on the Wii Remote to set and then detonate the bomb. Eventually, Boomer will also blow up on his own. Boomer is also able to defeat enemies from a distance. Also, in Chapter 3-4, Peach uses Boomer to blow up Francis' laptop after Francis uses the laptop to try to flirt with her.
Before joining Mario's party, he asks the following questions. No matter how they are answered, they are virtually the same, just with different emphasis:
- You stay up wonderin' if anyone ever gives presents TO Santa Claus.
- For some reason, you clean your room before a test.
- When someone says, "Let's just be friends," you think, "Yeah, whatever."
- You don't really understand why I'm askin' you all these questions.
- You think shoppin' online is a wonderful and magical experience.
- You once put on a shirt inside out but didn't bother reversin' it before goin' out.
- You wanna be sleepin' when you're awake, but when you're tired, you wanna wake up.
- You're gettin' real tired of these questions.

- Being an eyed bomb-like creature, Boomer bears a great resemblance to the Bob-omb.
- Ironically, Bob-ombs did not make a single appearance in Super Paper Mario, with the exception of Bombette and Admiral Bobbery, who had only mere cameo appearances.
- Boomer has the same ability as Bombette from Paper Mario, and Admiral Bobbery from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
- Boomer gets his name from the word "boom", an onomatopoeia for an explosion.
- Boomer's name, along with Slim's was announced at GDC 2007.
- It's possible to throw Boomer. First set a bomb. Then, quickly switch to Thoreau and pick it up. Although, his fuse will be quite short.
- If Bowser's fire breath makes contact with Boomer's bomb form he will explode right away.
