Pom Pom
Template:Newsubject Template:Character-infobox Pom Pom is a new villain and boss, making her first appearance in the Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land. She appears to be both the female counterpart and partner of Boom Boom. She is also seen wielding a boomerang with a ribbon on it.
History
Super Mario 3D Land
In Super Mario 3D Land, Pom Pom resides in her pink airship, first seen in World 4[1]. In battle, Pom Pom will throw boomerangs at Mario, a maximum two Boomerangs, and jump in some distances, similar to a Boomerang Bro. (though she does back flip and front flip). When Pom Pom takes damage, she will hover in her shell and try to land on Mario, unlike Boom Boom. This can be avoided by stepping to the side. After taking three hits from Mario's stomps, Pom Pom is defeated and will vanish while releasing many coins. Pom Pom will reappear in World 6, where Pom Pom is battled, and the arena's floor is covered in fire on the side of the platforms. In World 7, Pom Pom will fight her last battle with Mario along her partner Boom Boom together.[2]
