Bomber Bills' original English namesake, "Banzai," comes from | Bomber Bills' original English namesake, "Banzai," comes from the Japanese interjection, mainly used for jubilation or celebration, frequently translated as "Hooray!" as well as a battle cry meaning "Ten Thousand Years". 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." Their current name references their tendency to cause a large explosion when striking into a surface. | ||
