'''Pom Pom''' is a boss who debuted in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where she appears as the boss of various [[airship]]s. She appears to be both the female counterpart and partner of [[Boom Boom]], and is often seen wielding a shuriken with a ribbon on it. Pom Pom shares her name with a loose, fluffy material used by cheerleaders and sports fans, or in crafts, the pom-pom. | '''Pom Pom''' is a boss who debuted in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where she appears as the boss of various [[airship]]s.

After the defeat of Boom Boom in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]], Pom Pom resides in her pink [[airship]], first seen in [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4]]. Shortly before fighting [[Mario]] (and later [[Luigi]]), she winks at them in a somewhat flirtatious manner. In battle, Pom Pom will throw [[boomerang]]s at Mario, a maximum of 2 Boomerangs, and jump a fair distance, similar to a [[Boomerang Bro]] (though she does back flips and front flips). 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, and repeatedly jumping on top of her shell during her hover attack will yield a number of [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. After taking three stomps from Mario, Pom Pom is defeated and will vanish, releasing ten coins. | After the defeat of Boom Boom in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 3]], Pom Pom resides in her pink [[airship]], first seen in [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 4]].

Pom Pom reappears in [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 6]]; this time, the arena's floor is covered in fire on the side of the platforms. She will occasionally jump to different platforms in this battle, but otherwise is fought the same.

In [[World 7 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 7]], Pom Pom will fight her last battle in the regular worlds with Mario, alongside her partner Boom Boom (using Boom Boom's battle theme). Unlike the first two encounters, she will throw a maximum of three boomerangs instead of two. After defeating Bowser, she and Boom Boom appear frequently in the Special Worlds, fighting against Mario and Luigi separately until [[Special 8-Crown|the last level]], where they fight together for the last time, this time using her own theme. | ||

Pom Pom returns in the sequel ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. She appears the same, but is now smaller when compared to Boom Boom. She throws {{wp|shuriken}}s, rather than boomerangs, and she uses transparent clones (the number of which varies depending on where fought and how many hits she took) to aid her in her boss fights, which also throw shurikens; the clones vanish if attacked. The difference between her and the clones lies mostly in her hair bow which the clones lack and the color of her shuriken (the clones have gray shurikens, while she has a pink one with a red bow on it). She is the boss of World 3 in the level [[The Bullet Bill Express]], but Mario and the others have a rematch with her in {{world|bowser|train}} [[The Bowser Express]], where she produces more clones. In her third encounter in {{world|flower2|12}} [[Boss Blitz]], she reuses her strategy from the first encounter. | Pom Pom returns in the sequel ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.

Unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom does not go in her shell after being damaged. Instead, she immediately makes clones again and continues throwing shurikens. | Unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Pom Pom does not go in her shell after being damaged.

There has been inconsistent wording on whether there is more than one Pom Pom.

Similarly to Boom Boom, Pom Pom is a faithful servant to Bowser and is one of the higher-ranking Koopas in the Koopa Troop. According to the commentary in ''[[Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack]]'', Pom Pom wants to be refined and elegant, but is actually prone to losing her temper.<ref>[https://www.game-ost.com/static/covers_soundtracks/5/3/53465_495712.jpg The Official ''Super Mario 3D World'' Soundtrack Booklet reads]: "''Pom Pom adds a little ladylike elegance to Bowser's crew... or so she'd like to think, anyway.

In most of her appearances, Pom Pom is partnered with Boom Boom; the two are shown to work well together. Likewise, Pom Pom does not get along with Mario and friends due to their interferences in Bowser's plans and their victories against her; the lone exception is ''Super Mario Party'' in which Pom Pom is treated politely by Toad and Toadette, and plays friendly party games with Mario and co. Similarly to Boom Boom, Pom Pom does not speak in most games; however, she communicates through grunts, yells, and roars. | In most of her appearances, Pom Pom is partnered with Boom Boom; the two are shown to work well together.
