Boomerang


 * You might be looking for the Bomberang, or the Ring Boomerang

The Boomerang is an object that appears in the Sonic Boom series. It is Sticks the Badger's weapon of choice (next to her own paranoia).

Description
The Boomerang is a handmade weapon and Sticks keeps it in tow. It is made of wood and has white bandages wrapped around it. Much like real-life boomerangs, it returns to the user after being thrown.

The boomerang is Sticks' main weapon which she wields with significant proficiency. She uses it mostly as a long-ranged projectile to hit flying enemies or far-away opponents. Normally, the Boomerang can hit its targets with enough force during flight to destroy them without impeding its speed or trajectory. Alternatively, Sticks also wields it as a melee weapon, like a club or a dagger.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal
In Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal, the Boomerang is a part of Sticks the Badger's character-exclusive move. In gameplay, the player can manually control its trajectory for puzzle-solving by breaking out-of-reach nodes and taking down distant enemies.

There is a limit to how long the Boomerang stays in flight, which is shown by a gauge in the upper right corner of the screen. This gauge drains while the Boomerang flies. Should the gauge empty while the Boomerang is in flight, it will return to Sticks. Also, when used for attack, it does the same amount of damage as a Homing Attack or a Bomb. While flying, it can also pick up Rings and items.

In gameplay, the player must hold down or tap to throw the Boomerang. The direction the Boomerang is thrown in is determined by the direction the player slides the Circle Pad in when pressing. The player can then control the flight of the Boomerang with the Circle Pad.

Trivia

 * In real life, curved boomerangs do not actually return after hitting a target; it is physically impossible, especially if the boomerang hits with enough force to cause substantial damage, like how Sticks' can.
 * Although the initial artworks show that the Boomerang fits in the size of a palm, it is much larger during gameplay in Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal.
