| | '''King Bills'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros. Wii Prima Official Game Guide'', pg. 179.</ref> are a bright red [[Banzai Bill]] variant that only appeared in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Unlike [[Bull's-Eye Bill]], they only have a limited homing ability where they will track their target's vertical position and then continue forward once they reach that height. Their animation is very limited as well, always maintaining a horizontal position and never turning to point at their target. They are the only new enemy from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' that does not return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. |

| '''Bull's-Eye Banzais''', referred to as '''Bull's-Eye Bomber Bills''' on Mario Portal,<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/new_smb_wii/?lang=en|title=English ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|language=en|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-145656/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/new_smb_wii/?lang=en}},</ref> are red [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s and a larger variety of [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They attack by homing in on the player character. | |

|
| In the [[Prima Games]] guidebook produced for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', neither of the Banzai Bills—including the returning black ones<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=16, 138, 142}}</ref>—are provided individual names, with both of them instead referred to as "'''King Bills'''."<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno, Fernando|title=''New Super Mario Bros.

Wii''<ref>{{cite|author=Bueno|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=189}}</ref> and the only enemy referred to as a "King Bill" in subsequent games. The name "Bull's-Eye Banzai" was first introduced in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', resulting in this red Banzai Bill enemy being unnamed in English for about a decade.
| | The player can defeat it by simply jumping on its head, or by running into it with a [[Super Star]]. Also, a King Bill cannot be frozen by an ice ball; it will break the ice and release itself when the ice ball reaches it. Likewise, [[POW Block]]s are useless against them. |

|
| Similarly-behaving Banzai Bills called [[Cat Banzai Bill]]s appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.

| |
| Bull's-Eye Banzais are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]] only. Unlike [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bills]], they only have a limited homing ability where they will track their target's vertical position and then continue forward once they reach that height. Their animation is very limited as well, always maintaining a horizontal position and never turning to point at their target. A King Bill can be defeated from being [[stomp]]ed or if touched while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. A Bull's-Eye Banzai cannot be frozen by an ice ball, which will break the ice and release itself when the ice ball reaches it. Likewise, [[POW Block]]s are useless against them.

|
| |
|
| An [[list of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|unfinished]] setting exists suggesting some [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]s would have fired them, something that never occurs during gameplay.
| | In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', another Banzai Bill variant called [[Cat Banzai Bill]] behaves similarly. |
| | |
| The Bull's-Eye Banzai is the only enemy introduced in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' to not appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

| ====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| Bull's-Eye Banzais appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Unlike previously, they can move a full 360° to track players like the Bull's-Eye Bill, and the marks on their eyes are red, like the normal Banzai Bill, instead of black. In a vein similar to Banzai Bills, Bull's-Eye Banzais also receive new designs for all of the present game styles, consisting of a solid red coloration of the original designs. They are replaced by Cat Banzai Bills in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Additionally, Bull's-Eye Banzais in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' style have extremely subtle differences in their sprites between day and night, with the night ones having one less vertical line of outline pixels behind the domed area.<ref>{{cite|url=www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo_switch/supermariomaker2/sheet/119432|title=Nintendo Switch - ''Super Mario Maker 2'' - Enemies (SMB3)|publisher=The Spriters Resource|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

| While no actual Bull's-Eye Banzais appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the game introduces a red variant to the [[Bullet Blaster]] also named the [[Bull's-Eye Banzai (kart)|Bull's-Eye Banzai]].
