Kaboom!
Kaboom!s are enemies that appear in the Classic Trilogy. They are a friendly character in Mysteries of Fire Island, however.
In the Classic Trilogy, Kaboom!s do look like they are going to explode at some point, especially with the fuse at the top of their heads, but in Mysteries of Fire Island, they've learnt to control their temper with the beautiful weather and with fresh air so they have calmed down and no longer explode (although Baby Boomers has not, and will still explode at some point, but not that deadly in Classic Trilogy). They were concerned about all the damage they did in Wonderland and they thought they should stop.

Mysteries of Fire Island
In Mysteries of Fire Island, Kaboom!s are friendly living in Kaboom! Village, at the south of Fire Island. Since they are friendly, they don't explode (although in some extreme circumstances they can explode, but is not shown in the game). Baby Boomers are young and has not learnt to control their temper, so they can still explode (under player control). In other areas, Baby Boomers act like Wee Stinkers. They can still be rescued and go in Wee Stinker Exits.
In Mysteries of Fire Island, Kaboom!s come in 5 different colours: Red, yellow, blue, dark blue and purple.
