Item Info[]
It’s a boomerang! Kinda self-explanatory. These boomerangs first appeared in the hands of Boomerang Bros who would throw them at Mario & Luigi to try and defeat them. Later appearances would put the Boomerangs in the hands of Mario and their allies as they used them as stickers, while racing, or to… clear out rows of pills and viruses? A bit unconventional, but sure why not?
Item Usage[]
The Boomerang item works pretty much how you’d expect. You toss it forwards and then after traveling a set distance it turns back and returns to its sender. Simple enough! You don’t even have to do anything special to catch your Boomerang when it approaches you. Just be in its flight path and it’ll go right back into your hand. On its first throw the Boomerang will deal 2% damage on its flight forwards, but then 1% damage on its return trip. After being caught however the damage will increase and deal an additional 2% on the initial toss and an additional 1% on the return with these capping at 14% and 7% respectively. Be warned however because the Boomerang can be grabbed out of the air by an opponent and if it hits the floor or some other solid obstacle during its flight it will drop to the ground. If either occurs, then the Boomerang’s damage multiplier will be reset.
