'''Banzai Bill Cannons''' are large [[Bill Blaster]]s that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Like Bill Blasters, they slowly shoot [[Banzai Bill]]s.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===

Banzai Bill Cannons debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they appear only at the end of [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-5]] and [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]] and help the player reach the tops of the [[Goal Pole|pole]]s. They appear in every other game in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, including ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. In ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games that use 3D models for Banzai Bill Cannons, their full model is only the visible half-portion of the cannon.<ref>{{media link|BanzaiBillCannon DiagonalView.png|This image illustrates the diagonal view of the Banzai Bill Cannon from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.}}</ref>

They also make an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''{{'}}s final level, [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They act the same way as they did in previous titles, albeit in a 3D space.

Banzai Bill Cannons appear as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, where they can be placed in the background launching Banzai Bills towards the screen.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|remake]], before [[Fawful]] took over [[Bowser's Castle]], [[Private Goomp]], [[Corporal Paraplonk]], and [[Sergeant Guy]] were able to salvage a Banzai Bill Cannon, and escaped with it. [[Bowser]] later encountered the group carrying the cannon through the forest, and they told him that they were going to launch a Banzai Bill at the castle, though he then learned that they had no Banzai Bills. After Bowser recovered one from [[Wiggler]], they launched it at the castle, though before it could make contact, [[Midbus]] had the castle float into the air, efficiently dodging the Banzai Bill.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the [[Sergeant Guy Cannon]] is a Banzai Bill Cannon used in the battle against the [[Elite Trio]]. [[Sergeant Guy]] uses it in one of his attacks, taking two full turns to have it prepared. In the first turn, the Banzai Bill is manually loaded into the cannon by a few [[Shy Guy]]s. On the second turn, it gets launched.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', a single Banzai Bill Cannon appears in {{classic-link|DS|Airship Fortress}}, replacing the Bill Blaster in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and this time firing Banzai Bills at faster intervals.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', [[Bowser Jr.]] uses a Banzai Bill Cannon aboard his [[airship]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla|World 6-2]]. At one point to progress, Mario has to [[paperize]] the Banzai Bill Cannon [[Sticker#Scraps|scrap]] and turn it around, causing it to blast a hole through the ship and subsequently break down. It [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content|originally]] would have been a fightable enemy known as '''Banzai Blaster''', but was cut.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_Sticker_Star#Enemies</ref>

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', Banzai Bill Cannons appear in [[Black Bowser's Castle]]. They are used to fire Banzai Bills filled with [[black paint]]. When Mario blows up Bowser's black paint factory, the Cannons start firing Banzai Bills the same way they do in other games.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', a Banzai Bill Cannon appears as a ally, though under the name Banzai Bill. It is a dark/light ally with 2 star HP, 5 star ATK, and 0 star RCV. It evolves from Bullet Bill and evolves into King Bill. It has the skill armor break and the awoken skill dark boost.
