Arakawa. Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 5.</ref>) are a species of [[Bullet Bill]] found in [[Sarasaland]] in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. They look like ordinary Bullet Bills but have rockets on their backs. They can be defeated with a single [[stomp]], earning [[Mario]] 400 [[point]]s. They are found only in the last two kingdoms: the [[Easton Kingdom]] and [[Chai Kingdom]]. Bullet Biffs are fired out of [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]-like objects known as '''Pipe Cannons''',<ref name=NintendoPower/> which pop out of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in intervals much like a [[Piranha Plant]]. The Bullet Biff that comes from a launchpad travels with a perfectly straight trajectory as usual, but it also moves at a higher speed than an average Bullet Bill. Pipe Cannons can be used as a stepping stone to reach high areas. Bullet Biffs are also fired from [[Roketon]]s if they are passed by, where they are shot diagonally towards Mario's direction.
==History==
===''Super Mario Land''===
Bullet Biffs appear only in [[level]]s of the [[Easton Kingdom]] and [[Chai Kingdom]] of ''Super Mario Land''. A Bullet Biff can be defeated from a [[stomp]], which gives the player 400 [[point]]s. Bullet Biffs are fired out of [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]-like objects known as '''Pipe Cannons''',<ref name=pelland/> which pop out of [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in intervals much like a [[Piranha Plant]]. The Bullet Biff that comes from a launchpad travels with a perfectly straight trajectory as usual, but it also moves faster than a Bullet Bill. Pipe Cannons can be used as a platform to reach high areas. Bullet Biffs are also fired from [[Roketon]]s if they are passed by, and they are shot diagonally towards Mario.
