'''Boomer''' is a [[Brothers Bear]] who specializes in explosives in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He is located in the lost world, [[Krematoa]], where he appears in his own location, [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]].

Boomer is wearing an orange vest and a yellow construction hat. His official artwork also shows him wearing a pair of black shoes. In the Game Boy Advance port, Boomer's appearance was altered, along with his location. Boomer is now wearing a white undershirt (like that of [[Brash]]'s) and a red construction hat.

According to Boomer, he explains that the other residents of [[Northern Kremisphere]] banished him to Krematoa, deeming him "too dangerous" (given his love for explosives). Unlike some other Brothers Bears, who provide their service in exchange for [[Bear Coin]]s, Boomer only accepts [[Bonus Coin]]s for currency. By default, every [[level]] in Krematoa has a pair of rocks blocking the path, and Boomer charges 15 Bonus Coins (18 in the Game Boy Advance port) per each of the first four levels. For the final level, [[Rocket Rush]], Boomer charges 25 Bonus Coins (26 in the Game Boy Advance port). After the rocks blocking the path to Rocket Rush are detonated, Boomer has no more explosives that he can use.

After the Kongs pay Boomer, he uses munitions to blow up of the level's rocks, allowing the Kongs to access it. When Dixie and Kiddy complete a level, they obtain a [[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Cog]]. By returning to Boomer's Bomb Shelter with the Cogs, Boomer places them on a machine that has been in his bomb shelter ever since he moved into Krematoa.

 

If the Kongs have enough Bonus Coins for two or more levels, then Boomer forces them to pay for as many of his "specials" that they can afford at once. Boomer then blows up a number of rocks blocking the path to the levels, based on how many of Boomer's "specials" they purchased. In the Game Boy Advance port, the Kongs can only pay Boomer for one level at a time. After Boomer detonates the rocks, the Kongs exit from his bomb shelter and must revisit him each time to have him blow up the next level's rocks. If the Kongs attempt to pay Boomer fewer Bonus Coins than he requires, he reprimands them and claims someone tried it before, whom he implies was sent up into space.

 

When all five Cogs are placed on Boomer's machine, the dormant volcano in Krematoa reactivates, and [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s [[Knautilus]] rises in the the central lake.

 

If the Kongs revisit Boomer, a fan appears on his countertop, blowing on his face due to the temperature increase caused by the volcano's reactivation. He claims to have bought the fan from [[Bazaar]]. The fan does not appear in the Game Boy Advance port.
