Learn how to take down Boomerang Bros, a common enemy in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Find tips and strategies for dealing with their projectile attacks.

Alright, let's talk about the Boomerang Bro in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. These guys can be a bit of a nuisance with their fast-moving boomerangs, but once you know their patterns, they're pretty manageable. You'll run into them in a few different spots, so it's good to have a plan.

Where you'll find them:

  • Mario 3D World - Beep Block Skyway
  • Mario 3D World - Fire Bros Hideout #3
  • Mario 3D World - Bowser’s Lava Lake Keep
  • Mario 3D World - Back to Hands-On Hall
  • Mario 3D World - Mystery House Brawl
  • Bowser’s Fury - Pounce Bounce Isle

How to handle them:

The Boomerang Bro's main attack is, you guessed it, a boomerang. They'll throw it in an arc, and it'll come back to them. The trick is to watch the throw and then dodge or jump over it. Sometimes they'll throw multiple boomerangs in quick succession, so be ready to move!

Your best bet is usually to get in close and hit them with a jump or a ground pound. If you have a power-up like the Fire Flower, that's even easier – just blast them from a distance. The Super Bell (cat suit) is also great for this, as you can climb up to higher ground to avoid their throws or quickly pounce on them.

Tips for fighting Boomerang Bros
  • Always keep an eye on their throwing arm to anticipate the boomerang's path.
  • Don't stand still! Keep moving to make yourself a harder target.
  • If you're struggling, try to use power-ups like the Fire Flower or Super Bell to give yourself an advantage.
  • Sometimes it's better to just run past them if you're in a hurry or low on health, especially in levels with lots of them.
