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. It can be defeated by 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.
