Page 14.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.

"''If you stay close to pipes with Piranha Flowers inside, they won’t come out. Likewise, Bullet Bill Cannons won't fire if you’re near.''"</ref> simply '''Cannon''',<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 167.</ref> or '''Bullet Bill Launcher''',<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island'' Confidential Information Tab.</ref> is a black cannon that fires [[Bullet Bill]]s from either side. Bill Blasters are usually used as defense emplacements in [[fortress]]es and [[castle]]s. While some Bill Blasters are pure black, others have a design (usually a skull icon) emblazoned on their sides. | ||
Bill Blasters are immobile and usually indestructible, as they are commonly part of the environment. Some of them briefly expand in size before shooting Bullet Bills, such as in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Although they cannot move around, some Bill Blasters in more recent games have been shown to be able to rotate, like a turret. However, recent games in the series have made Bill Blasters enemies that are capable of being defeated. Due to their nature, they are usually paired with Bullet Bills as their main attack. | |||
Bill Blasters are similar to [[Burner]]s. The latter emits flames instead of Bullet Bills. | |||

Turtle Cannons first appear in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they were placed throughout the Mushroom Kingdom during [[Bowser]]'s initial invasion. They are also found in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]], [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-2]] and [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]]. They are found in locations that are difficult for the Bros. to travel through, such as on the ground or above the player where they would be hit if the player [[jump]]ed. They will not fire if the player is directly above one or completely within a sprite box next to one. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Turtle Cannons return and this time are found in even more difficult places. They now are more common and act just the same as they did in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They sometimes appear in underwater levels, where in the original, their details are colored green due to having the same palette as the scenery; though they do not fire any Bullet Bills. They are colored normally in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version. | |||

This Turtle Cannon is found on the top of the tower in [[Whomp's Fortress]] after the player defeats the [[Whomp King]]. It looks drastically different from its previous appearances, more resembling a simple gray box with a hole for launching Bullet Bills rather than an actual cannon. This is the only game in which Mario can force a Turtle Cannon to fire; it will do so if he performs a [[Ground Pound|Pound the Ground]] attack on top of it. In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] remake, another of these cannons can be found in Whomp's Fortress in the new area surrounding the fortress, after a large gap, and more can be found in [[Dire, Dire Docks]] before the player completes [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. The ability to force out a Bullet Bill via a Pound the Ground attack has been removed, and Turtle Cannons can now be destroyed using a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]]. | ||

They are often found on planets or other areas where various items are trapped in cages, where [[Mario]] must lure a [[Bullet Bill]] from the Bill Blaster to the cage or cages in order to access what is inside. Their appearance here is more typical of a cannon and noticeably lacks the familiar skull icon. The Bullet Bills they shoot out will home in on Mario upon becoming aware of his presence. Some Bill Blasters can be destroyed by luring the Bullet Bill back. Others are too far into their base for one to reach. | ||

However, they skip every other turn, limiting their rate of shooting Bullet Bills. Jumping attacks are generally ineffective against Bill Blasters, as their hard armor protects against such attacks. | In battle, Bill Blasters cannot directly attack Mario; instead, they fire Bullet Bills, which become independent enemies that attack Mario.
