Eventually, Princess Peach attempts to escape from Bowser, but Boom Boom and the Koopa Troop chase her down, recapture her, and lock her within a cage. He returns in the [[World 7-Airship (Super Mario 3D Land)|airship of World 7]] and battles Mario for the final time of the main adventure, now joined by Pom Pom. In this battle, Pom Pom stands on an elevated red portion of the arena while Boom Boom fights on the blue floor below, with the former's boomerangs adding an additional hazard while trying to jump on Boom Boom. If Pom Pom is defeated first, the elevated floor will fall to Boom Boom's level, giving him a full arena for the rest of the fight. Both are defeated in the end, however. | Eventually, Princess Peach attempts to escape from Bowser, but Boom Boom and the Koopa Troop chase her down, recapture her, and lock her within a cage.

He also returns to do battle with both Mario bros throughout the Special Worlds of the game, usually appearing earlier in the level than in his other boss fights. In {{world-link|S4|airship|Special 4-Airship}}, Boom Boom is fought halfway through the level, in an arena where spikes will emerge from the center and outer area of the room at different intervals, potentially damaging Mario and [[Luigi]] while also giving them less room to avoid his attacks. In {{world-link|S6|airship|Special 6-Airship}}, Boom Boom will return for a potentially-skippable boss fight in an arena resembling his 2-Airship battle, but with the ability to create a trail of flames with his spin attack. Finally, in {{world-link|S8|crown|Special 8-Crown}}, Mario fights both Boom Boom and Pom Pom at the same time, similarly to the boss fight of World 7-Airship, but with Boom Boom being able to make use of his trail-blazing attack from Special 6-Airship (and Pom Pom's battle theme being used instead of his). A Boom Boom that requires only one hit to be defeated can also appear in the Special Worlds' [[Mystery Box]]es. | He also returns to do battle with both Mario bros throughout the Special Worlds of the game, usually appearing earlier in the level than in his other boss fights.
