  • Boomer is a deadly, cannon-like machine bult by Smithy in his factory. Boomer is hotheaded but honorable. Despite his cannon-head, he actually wields a sword that he uses to go samurai on opponents. Boomer's weaknesses change with color; when his armor is red he is weak to special attacks, and when it is blue he is vulnerable to normal attacks. He battles Mario's group on the chandeliers of Bowser's Keep (similar to Bowser in the beginning of the game), and is the last obstacle prior to facing Exor. After being defeated, Boomer accepts the defeat with honor but rejects Mario's sympathy and makes his Chandeli-ho drop him to his doom.
• Boshi
  • Boshi is a blue punk Yoshi with a sweet tooth for Yoshi Cookies. He takes over the Mushroom Derby racetrack on Yo'ster Isle and forces only one Yoshi to race him at a time with Yoshi Cookies as wagering stakes.
