Editing Bomber Bill

Banzai Bills are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They retain their function and role from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' This game debuts their modern look, with both a rounded, recessed mouth and red marks behind the eyes. They are most commonly encountered in [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]]. In {{world-link|7|tower|World 7-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, when players are further up the tower via the use of the ascending pulley on the first room of the tower, after they pass the normal Bullet Bills, players encounter a column of hidden Banzai Bill Cannons, which are indicated by the rate of fire of the Banzai Bills. Players need to adjust the pulley with their Wii Remote sensor to steer them away from the path of the Banzai Bill. Banzai Bills reappear in [[World 7-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-4]], and they are seen alongside with the game's only visible Banzai Bill Cannon. Banzai Bills are encountered in the second area of the level, they need to be dodged by platforming across moving Warp Pipes to access the only stationary red Warp Pipe on the screen. Banzai Bills can be jumped on to either defeat them or to reach higher areas. As with most enlarged versions of enemies, an [[Ice Flower]] freezes them only very briefly and this does not halt their progression on their path. This game introduces a [[Bull's-Eye Banzai|homing variety]] of the Banzai Bill in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]], as well as the even larger and indestructible [[King Bill]]s, which appear in [[World 9-8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-8]]. In the [[Prima Games|Prima]] Player's Guide, Banzai Bills are mistakenly called [[King Bill]]s, despite being different enemies.<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|date=November 15, 2009|title=''New Super Mario Bros.

Banzai Bills appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', retaining their attack patterns from previous titles. Whenever Mario touches a [[Gold Ring]], Banzai Bills [[Gold Banzai Bill|turn gold]]. In this state, they leave a trail of two rows of [[coin]]s behind them. Players additionally can defeat Banzai Bills with gold fireballs when they are powered up into [[Gold Mario]] via the [[Gold Flower]]. Banzai Bills first appear in [[World 5-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-5]], where a single Banzai Bill Cannon that blasts Banzai Bills is found at the end of the level. Players can obtain the third [[Star Coin]] near the Banzai Bill Cannon by using Bullet Bills to grab the Star Coin. In [[World 6-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-B]], past the [[Checkpoint Flag]], players encounter and dodge Bullet Bills and Banzai Bills fired at them while riding on a moving, colored platform. Regarding the DLC content of the game, Banzai Bills appear in [[Coin Challenge Pack B]], in the sky-themed [[Second Course (Coin Challenge Pack B)|Second Course]] level of the pack and [[Platform Panic Pack]], in the subterranean lava-themed [[Third Course (Platform Panic Pack)|Third Course]] level of the pack. In Second Course of Coin Challenge Pack B, Banzai Bills appear in the latter portion of the second area of the level, where players can make use of Gold Rings to make Banzai Bills drop coins behind them. In Third Course of Platform Panic Pack, in the first [[Spine Coaster]] ride, one Banzai Bill is fired at the end of the ride. In the second Spine Coaster ride past the Midpoint Flag, three Banzai Bills are fired near the end of the area past where the [[P Switch]] falls down, with each Banzai Bill being higher than the last, where they can be used akin to stepping stones.

Banzai Bills also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its port, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', where they make their only appearance in the level [[Scaling the Mountainside]] in the [[Frosted Glacier]] world. They operate in the same manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. In Scaling the Mountainside, players need to dodge incoming Banzai Bills through the use of platform pulleys near the end of the level. The [[Banzai Bill Cannon]] can then be found at the end of the level, where players can use it as a platform to reach the flagpole.

Banzai Bills also appear in the expansion pack game to ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', this time in the [[Weighty Waddlewings]] level, where they are very common along with the Banzai Bill Cannon. In a similar parallel to ''New Super Mario Bros. U''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Scaling the Mountainside, this level is also snow-themed and has the similar function of using platform pulleys to navigate through the level. This level features only Banzai Bills and no regular Bullet Bills at all. A few Banzai Bills are also seen in the first area [[Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle]], where all other Bullet Bill varieties can be found, including [[Torpedo Ted]]s and King Bills; these Banzai Bills are fired from offscreen areas rather than from Banzai Bill Cannons. In [[Para-Beetle Parade]], four Banzai Bills are also fired from offscreen areas while players are attempting to navigate the skies with [[Para-Beetle]]s and [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]s. They start appearing soon after the first [[Star Coin]] is collected, guarded by a [[Big Piranha Plant]]. These four Banzai Bills are required to be used as stepping stones to proceed further on the level, towards Para-Beetles that are out of reach by other means.

Bomber Bills appear in the aptly named Bomber Bills stage of the Bowser Kaboom Squad mode in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. In addition, a mechanical, rideable Bomber Bill appears in the minigame [[Sunset Standoff]]. This is the first time that the name "Bomber Bill" is used in a game.

A Banzai Bill appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' as a key item. In [[Dimble Wood]], [[Bowser]] sees [[Private Goomp]], [[Corporal Paraplonk]] and [[Sergeant Guy]] carrying a [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]. They explain to Bowser that they are going to fire a Banzai Bill to [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser's Castle]], which is taken over by [[Fawful]], as payback. The three, however, do not have any Banzai Bills for ammunition; Bowser has to search one on his own while the three also search for one. It is revealed that a [[Wiggler Family#The Wiggler (Boss)|Wiggler]] on a farm has a Banzai Bill after Bowser pulled out his [[giga-carrot]], which Bowser has to eat. He was originally going to use the carrot as a substitute for the Banzai Bill, though the Wiggler tells him to eat it as a responsibility. After the carrot is eaten up, Bowser could choose to save or to get the Banzai Bill right now. When he chooses to save, he is able to move around freely, and when he chooses to get the Banzai Bill right now, the Wiggler gets mad because Bowser pulled out the carrot and ate it, even though he told Bowser to do so. After the battle, Bowser finally gets the Banzai Bill, and after Mario and Luigi defeat [[Durmite]] and Bowser learns the [[sliding haymaker]], Bowser gives it to the three minions and launch it at Bowser's former castle. However, [[Midbus]] and two other [[Goomba]]s see the Banzai Bill and dodge it by making the castle fly into the air. The castle then heads for Bowser and lands on him, which eventually initiates the first [[Giant Bowser]] battle in the game. The Banzai Bill is not seen again for the rest of the game.

A Bomber Bill is featured towards the end of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where it is called as such for the first time. 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|date=November 30, 2022|url=youtu.be/ZjHjBXcNnDM|title=''The Super Mario Bros.
