'''Boomer''' is an honorable sword fighter and a high-ranking member of the [[Smithy Gang]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. After [[Smithy]]'s forces occupy [[Bowser's Castle|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 [[wikipedia:Katana|katana]] and has the ability to power up his defense and offense. After being defeated, apparently suffering from a heart attack, he severs the rope holding the chandelier he is on and plummets to the ground (although the [[Chandeli-ho]] implies that he survived the fall), allowing Mario and his party to pass unhindered to the giant sword [[Exor]].  
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 {{wp|katana}} and has the ability to 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 [[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); apparently 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 {{wp|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.
