While red, he is weak to magical attacks, and while blue, he is weak to physical attacks, though unless successfully affected by [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[Mute (move)|Mute]] ability, he will immediately counter an attack of each respective weakness with the powerful [[Shaker]] attack. After he is defeated, like in the battle with Bowser, the screen flashes white as the fire in the chandeliers' candles goes out (unlike the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) | Switch version]] where the candles remain lit); suffering from an asthma attack, Boomer severs the rope holding the chandelier he is on and plummets to the ground (although the [[Shyndelier]] implies that he survived the fall), allowing Mario and his party to pass unhindered to the giant sword [[Exor]].

Boomer, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Boomer is an honorable sword fighter and a high-ranking member of the Smithy Gang in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its Nintendo Switch remake. After Smithy's forces occupy Bowser's Keep, Boomer is placed in charge of the new base. He is the last high-ranking member of the Smithy Gang encountered in Mario’s World.

After Mario fights his way past Smithy's minions, Boomer challenges Mario's party to a duel on chandeliers, the same chandeliers on which Mario fights Bowser at the beginning of the game. In battle, Boomer wields a katana and can switch between red and blue forms. While red, he is weak to magical attacks, and while blue, he is weak to physical attacks, though unless successfully affected by Peach's Mute ability, he will immediately counter an attack of each respective weakness with the powerful Shaker attack. After he is defeated, like in the battle with Bowser, the screen flashes white as the fire in the chandeliers' candles goes out (unlike the Switch version where the candles remain lit); suffering from an asthma attack, Boomer severs the rope holding the chandelier he is on and plummets to the ground (although the Shyndelier implies that he survived the fall), allowing Mario and his party to pass unhindered to the giant sword Exor.

Boomer closely resembles a shogun, which is an ancient Japanese commander. He even has an inscription of the Japanese flag on his helmet in his character artwork from the original.
