Their | '''Banzai Bills''' (also called '''Boomer Bills''' and '''Bomber Bills'''<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/world/?lang=en English|title=''Super Mario World'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|language=en|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-141758/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/world/?lang=en}}</ref>) are a larger variety of [[Bullet Bill]]s that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Their attack pattern usually consists of shooting from off-screen (though occasionally, players can see them being fired from [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]s) where a firing sound is played to alert players that they are incoming, and they travel toward players in a straight line. To avoid them, players can either jump on higher platforms or duck in lower areas of the stage. As with all Bullet Bill varieties, jumping on them or using a star on them are the only ways to defeat them, as they are immune to fireballs and break out very quickly if they are frozen with ice balls. While Banzai Bills share the same black coloration and physical characteristics as Bullet Bills, Banzai Bills lack arms and have a mouth in the form of a shark smile. They are the second-largest derived species of Bullet Bills, after the [[King Bill]]. | ||
Their English namesake, "Banzai" comes from the Japanese interjection, mainly used for jubilation or celebration, frequently translated as "Hooray!", as well as a battle cry. Their original name, "Magnum," refers to their very large size in comparison to most enemies in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Most languages have adopted either the Japanese or English versions of the name, with a few exceptions, one example being the German name, "Riesen-Kugelwilli", meaning "Giant Bullet Willi" where "Willi" is the German equivalent of "Bill". | |||

A Banzai Bill makes a minor appearance in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] cartoon episode "[[Mama Luigi]]". In the cartoon, they are known as '''Magnum Bills''', which is a possible combination of the name Bullet Bill and their Japanese name, '''Magnum Killer'''. In the episode, Mario, after narrowly dodging an attack by a [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]], accidentally leaps into the path of a Magnum Bill. | |||

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Banzai Bills most commonly appear in stages. Banzai Bills mainly appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]] stage, where they appear in set angles, from either the top, side, or diagonally; a firing sound and their traveling sound is an indicator of their approach | In the [[Super Smash Bros.

Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]] stage, where they appear in set angles, from either the top, side, or diagonally; a firing sound and their traveling sound is an indicator of their approach. Once burrowed into a castle wall, it digs into the wall and eventually explodes, dealing heavy damage to anyone caught within the explosion. The explosion will also press any buttons in range, activating platforms and [[! Block]]s. It also destroys or activates destructible items. The Banzai Bill also causes small damage and knockback to any players who touch it. ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' also introduces the [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]] stage, where a Banzai Bill appears in the background, using its sprite from ''Super Mario World''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Banzai Bills retain their background appearance in the Yoshi's Island stage. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Banzai Bills also reprise their role on the Princess Peach's Castle stage, but they now leave a longer lasting explosion than in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. | ||
Throughout the series, there are also collectible items of Banzai Bills. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', there is an obtainable [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of a Banzai Bill. In earlier copies of the game, Banzai Bill's collectible trophy is instead called "Bullet Bill" when set to English, but it is correctly identified as Banzai Bill in Japanese, PAL, and later versions of the game. Another error is that the origin game is incorrectly marked as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' when ''Super Mario World'' is their actual first appearance. There is also a trophy of a Banzai Bill in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is an Attack-type, Advanced class [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of a Banzai Bill, which can be obtained from enhancing a Bullet Bill once it has reached level 99. When a Banzai Bill spirit is equipped, it gives the user the ability to cause damage by running into other players. | Throughout the series, there are also collectible items of Banzai Bills.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Banzai Bills appear as enemies in [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode, using their contemporary design unlike in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Like normal Bullet Bills, they attack by homing in on the player and flying toward them. If players touch Banzai Bills, they take fire damage and get knocked back. Banzai Bills have above-average health, although if they take a strong enough hit, they can get stunned and fall to the ground, open to attack, momentarily. Finally, if a Banzai Bill embeds itself into a wall, it explodes after a while, although it releases no power-ups. | |||

Banzai Bills appear in a ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' minigame, where they are summoned by [[Kamek]] in the second half of the in [[Kamek's Rocket Rampage]] when Kamek gets half of his health depleted. These are larger and therefore more difficult to dodge than the normal Bullet Bills he spawns. Banzai Bills take three points away if players get hit by them, which is the most damaging enemy in this minigame. In the [[Airship Central]] board, players can buy and unlock a jet designed after a Banzai Bill to ride in. | Banzai Bills appear in a ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' minigame, where they are summoned by [[Kamek]] in the second half of the in [[Kamek's Rocket Rampage]] when Kamek gets half of his health depleted.

Banzai Bills in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' are used as missile bombs. They are filled up with [[black paint]] in [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. When they crash, a dark skull cloud is created as a result of the impact, and they scatter black paint over a large area. These Banzai Bills can take away 30 HP from Mario if their hit is successful. One particular Banzai Bill fills part of [[Sunglow Ridge]] with black paint. | Banzai Bills in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' are used as missile bombs.

A Bomber Bill is featured towards the end of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. As Bowser and his army begin losing the fight against the film's heroes, a half-frozen Bowser (frozen from an [[Ice Flower]] used by [[Princess Peach]]) orders a strike on the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] via the Bomber Bill. The Bomber Bill is launched, and [[Mario]] uses the [[Tanooki Suit]] to follow it via flying. Mario uses the suit's tail swipe ability to attack its left eye, angering it and causing it to take its focus away from [[Peach's Castle]], revealing that it is sentient. The Bomber Bill angrily chases [[Tanooki Mario]] through the Mushroom Kingdom, and Mario leads it into the same [[Warp Pipe]] that he emerged from at the beginning of the film. The Bomber Bill explodes inside of the [[Warp Zone]], causing a massive interdimensional collapse that pulls elements of the Mushroom Kingdom into [[Brooklyn]], [[New York City|New York]]. The Bomber Bill is noticeably larger than the Banzai Bills in the games, and its size is roughly the same as the [[King Bill]]s. Additionally, dummy Bomber Bills appear on the [[Training Course]] used to train Mario.<ref>{{cite|author=Matyas|language=en|date=November 30, 2022|url=youtu.be/ZjHjBXcNnDM|title=''The Super Mario Bros.
