A '''Bull's-Eye Blaster'''<ref>''Super Mario Maker 2''</ref> is a type of [[Bill Blaster]] that fires [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. Even though the modern Bull's Eye Bill was introduced in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' in that game said enemy was fired from Bill Blasters<ref name ="ESMB">''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'', pages 149 to 151. There is no separate entry for the Bull's Eye Blaster even though the ''Search Killer'' is disitnguished from the ''Killer'' on pages 144 and 145.</ref> and as a result in ''Super Mario Maker'' the current Bull's-Eye Blasters were still known as '''Bill Blasters''<ref>''Super Mario Maker'' spoken name</ref>, but since ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' they started being distinguished from Bill Blasters and as of ''Super Mario Maker 2'', they received their own name.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s are not shot in this game by specific Bull's Eye Blasters, but rather by [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s. They only appear in [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]].
Black [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s that shoot [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They only appear in [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', black Bill Blasters that shoot Missile Bills appear in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]]. In this appearance, they are mostly taller constructions in [[pit]]s and are somewhat obscured by fog (which can be temporarily cleared via [[Spin Jump]]).
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and its [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|port]], they appear when the player shakes a Bill Blaster, where they are red once again. If any other enemy or item is placed inside one, it will fire that element indefinitely at a faster speed than normal Bill Blasters do. In all styles except ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', their skull icon is replaced with a bull icon, a visual pun on their name.


They return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' under their current name. In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, they shoot [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s. The skull also gains cat ears to show this.
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===

Wii)|World 9-3]], are taller constructions in [[pit]]s and are somewhat obscured by fog (which can be temporarily cleared via [[Spin Jump]]).
===''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
Red Turtle Cannons appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' in the final secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. Like green Turtle Cannons, they are fixed in two directions, unlike [[Bouncing Bullet Bill|yellow]] Turtle Cannons. Like the game's other Turtle Cannons, they do not have their usual skull icon. This is the first game to color-code them red.


===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Red Bill Blasters appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where they appear to be their modern iteration as they are differentiated from black Bill Blasters.
The current Bull's-Eye Blasters appear for the first time in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where they are red and thus distinguished from Bill Blasters.


===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|port]], red Bill Blasters appear in [[Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort]]. The ones in alcoves only fire in one direction, but the ones hanging on the ceiling point themselves at [[Yoshi]]. They have a similar appearance as the red cannons in the previous ''Yoshi'' game.

If any other enemy or item is placed inside one, it will fire that element indefinitely at a faster speed than normal Bill Blasters do. In all styles except ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', their skull icon gains angry eyes and devil horns, slightly resembling [[Bowser]]. They return in similar capacity in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.
