Boomerangs first appeared in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as the {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang Bro}}'s weapon of choice. A {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang}} item was included in the game's remake for the Game Boy Advance, ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3}}''. This boomerang could be caught and reused, much like the one in ''SSB4''. However, it could only be accessed through a special e-Reader card released only in Japan. The {{s|mariowiki|Boomerang Flower}} is a power-up item first appearing in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'', where it transforms [[Mario]] into {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang Mario}}, who is able to throw boomerangs to attack enemies, similar to the Boomerang Bros. enemies. The boomerang would also collect any item it touches, allowing Mario to pick up far-off {{s|supermariowiki|coin}}s and other collectibles. It also appears in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}'' and ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''.
The Boomerang made its debut in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as the {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang Bro}}'s weapon of choice. In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', a {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang}} item was included in the game's remake for the Game Boy Advance, which could be caught and reused, but it could only be accessed through a special e-Reader card released only in Japan.
 
In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'', the {{s|mariowiki|Boomerang Flower}} power-up allows the player to turn into {{s|supermariowiki|Boomerang Mario}}, who can use the Boomerangs to attack enemies from afar and/or collect items from a distance, such as {{s|mariowiki|coin}}s. In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}'', acquiring the Boomerang Flower allows the racers to throw the Boomerang three times.

The Boomerang can be thrown to attack other players. After reaching a set maximum distance, it homes on its thrower and is automatically caught on contact: whenever this happens, the Boomerang becomes more powerful. However, it can also be caught by opponents.
===As an [[item]]===
The Boomerang debuted as a throwing item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.


When thrown fresh, it deals 2 points of damage coming out and 1 point coming back. Once caught, its damage output adds 2 points for coming out and 1 point coming back in and maxes out after 6 catches, putting its max damage output at 14 points coming out and 7 coming back.
The Boomerang can be thrown to attack other players. After reaching a set maximum distance, it returns to its owner and is automatically caught on contact. Whenever this happens, the Boomerang becomes more powerful; however, it can also be caught by opponents. Once thrown, it will deal 2% damage being thrown out and 1% returning. When it is caught, its damage output adds 2% being thrown out and 1% return. After being caught six times, its damage output will deal a maximum of 14% being thrown out and 7% returning.


The boomerang does not need to hit an opponent for the multiplier to occur, but it does require the boomerang to return from a full throw without hitting any solid surfaces. The boomerang will drop if thrown into the floor from a standing position or if it hits something solid on its return trip and must be picked up again. In either case, its multiplier will reset.

The Boomerang returns in ''Ultimate'', with its knockback being buffed significantly: if caught and rethrown enough times, the Boomerang gains enough knockback to KO at reasonable percentages. When thrown at max power, the Boomerang flashes faintly.
