'''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><ref>{{cite|author=GameXplain|date=August 30, 2024|url=youtu.be/BI7E19RsSaY|title= Pauline Super Mario Party Jamboree Gameplay - PAX Demo|timestamp=12:09|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 31, 2024}}</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 | 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". | ||

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]].

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.

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 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 appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', retaining their attack patterns from previous titles.

A Banzai Bill makes a minor appearance in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] cartoon episode "[[Mama Luigi]]."

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. | ||

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 Banzai Bill appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' as a key item.

Banzai Bills, being a derivative species from the Bullet Bills, are large, anthropomorphic bullet enemies that can either be fired from a [[Banzai Bill Cannon]] or from a cannon off-screen, where the only cues the players receive that they are coming are the firing sounds heard. Due to their large size and immunity to most attacks, they often are required to be dodged either by maneuvering around them, jumping on higher ground, or by ducking if lower ground is available. In some games, Banzai Bills are weak to jumps on top of them like normal Bullet Bills, while other games, the only way to defeat them is if players run into them while they are invincible. The Banzai Bill retains most physical characteristics from Bullet Bills, which includes the bullet-like shape, the jet-black, shiny coloration, and angry eyes. However, key differences from Bullet Bills include the lack of arms on the Banzai Bill and that all Banzai Bills have mouths, which is constantly open and filled with sharp teeth, giving them a shark-like appearance. In most games after ''New Super Mario Bros.'', their design has been updated to add red highlights to their eyes, as well as their animation being tweaked so they twirl around when fired rather than their original static pose. In some games, notably the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and ''Paper Mario'' series, they have the ability to dig into walls and release a huge explosion. | |||

In these games, Bullet Bills are depicted with no arms and with an angry smile with sharp teeth; it is worth noting, however, that Bullet Bills' design fluctuated between whether or not they had a mouth or arms up until ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' finalized their design. | ||
With the exceptions of ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', | With the exceptions of ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Banzai Bills are typically encountered as late-game enemies and their appearance, alongside their Banzai Bill Cannon, usually signifies the end of the level. They are typically found in athletic-themed levels, that is, levels that focus on platforming on higher elevations with many pits. Banzai Bills are usually the last enemies encountered in levels that are featured around many Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters. The only games that feature Banzai Bills in an underground setting are ''Super Mario World''{{'}}s Valley of Bowser 3, ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s Course 2 of the Platform Panic Pack, and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''{{'}}s [[Underground Moon Caverns]]. | ||
