Missile Bills appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Despite having the same name of the flashing Bullet Bills of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in the [[Prima Games]] guide, their Japanese name indicates that this game is the first one to use its modern iteration. They resemble normal Bullet Bills, but when one sees Mario, it will make a beeping noise and start flashing red. Here, they have a similar attack pattern to the one they had in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; however, in this game they can change the angle they are flying at and will not stop pursuing the player until they are defeated, or the player has gotten far enough away. They can be defeated the same way as normal Bullet Bills. They only appear in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]], alongside [[Bull's-Eye Banzai|Mario-seeking Banzai Bills referred to as King Bill]]s. | |||

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super | In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', the Missile Bills of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' make a comeback, appearing only during the [[Roy Koopa]] battle at [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. They are seen being shot out of Roy's Bullet Bill cannon. In this case, though, after some time unsuccessfully chasing Mario, it self-destructs like a [[Flame Chomp]]. Starting from this game, Missile Bills keep their red coloration instead of being normal Bullet Bills flashing red. | ||

Bull's-Eye Bills appear from the left of the screen and position themselves behind Mario if they are level with him. After a few seconds they will charge forward, whether or not Mario is in front of them. Like the similar [[Bullet Bill]], they cannot be vaulted over. | ||

Red Bullet Bills appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' in the final secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. They are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|red Turtle Cannon]]s and appear to make a biting motion as they fly. | Red Bullet Bills appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' in the final secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. They are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|red Turtle Cannon]]s and appear to make a biting motion as they fly, though this is purely for show. As they fly, they gradually slow down, eventually shrinking away in light blue and vanishing with a pop. They can be defeated by simply [[stomp]]ing or [[swallow]]ing them; they look like regular Bullet Bills if spat back out, but they fly downwards. | ||
This is the first game to have them be able to follow the player at any angle, due to the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' being restricted to lateral movement. However, they still make abrupt u-turns after slowing down when they miss, whereas later games have them keep a smoother trajectory. | |||
