| | '''Missile Banzai Bills''' are a sub-species of [[Bullet Bill]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They act like a [[Missile Bill]], although they are bigger and they do not turn around when they miss a target. They are the same size as a Banzai Bill, and they only appear in World 9-3. The player can defeat it by simply jumping on its head or by running into it with a [[Star|Starman]]. Also, a Missile Banzai 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. |

Wii]]''. They attack by homing in on the player character.

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.

| |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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]].
