| '''Bullet Bills''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' These bullet-like projectiles are blasted out of [[Bill Blaster]]s, coupled with a firing sound effect, whether onscreen or offscreen. A Bullet Bill continues traveling horizontally when fired. Bullet Bills are unaffected by [[Fire Flower]]s and their [[fireball]]s, and most games allow Bullet Bills to be defeated from being [[stomp]]ed. In the side-scrolling games, Bullet Bills can pass through walls. Ever since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', some Bullet Bills have the ability to home in on Mario as a missile, a function that would later go to [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s mainly. Bullet Bills are portrayed as items in some series, mostly the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], functioning either as projectiles or having the player take advantage of their speed by either riding on them or transforming into one. | | |
| | '''Bullet Bills''' are bullet-like projectiles in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. They are shot out of [[Bill Blaster]]s, and are usually under Bowser's control, acting as enemies of [[Mario]] since their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Ever since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', some Bullet Bills have the ability to home in on Mario as a missile. They also have increasingly been items, mostly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Other games depict them as sentient being with emotions, and some talk in the cartoons. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', and their remakes within ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. Bullet Bills are usually shot from a [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]], though are sometimes shot from off-screen, and fly in a straight line. A Bullet Bill can be defeated if [[stomp]]ed or from the effects of a [[Super Star|Starman]]. A [[Koopa Shell]] or [[Buzzy Shell]] can defeat Bullet Bills instantly if they originate from off-screen, but not if they are shot from Turtle Cannons. Because Bullet Bills travel continuously, if Mario touches the [[Goal Pole|flagpole]], any Bullet Bills in his presence disappear instantly. Stomping on a Bullet Bill is always worth 200 points, and it is not possible to earn additional points by stomping them in succession. Bullet Bills and [[Piranha Plant]]s are the only two enemies with death animations that never depict them with their sprites flipped upside-down, the former remaining right side-up and the latter simply disappearing.
| | When the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is overrun by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bullet Bills are Bowser's prime ammunition. Bullet Bills first appear in [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]]. They are usually shot from a large cannon (the [[Bill Blaster]]), though are sometimes shot from off-screen, and fly in a straight line. To defeat a Bullet Bill, the player has to either jump on them, kick a [[Koopa Shell]] at them or use a [[Super Star|Starman]]. They are immune to fireballs from [[Fire Mario]]. |
| | {{br}} |
|
| |
|
| Bullet Bills are first encountered in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]] in ''Super Mario Bros.'' A Bullet Bill takes on the disguise of the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] in [[World C-4]]. Since Bullet Bills share the same color palette as Goombas, they appear gray in World 6-3 of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and blue in World A-2 from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. Bullet Bills are not launched from the Turtle Cannons in [[World 9-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-1]] of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.
| | ====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''==== |
| | [[File:SMB2_Bullet_Bill.png|thumb|left|Artwork of a Bullet Bill from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.]] |
| | Bullet Bills reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' when, once again, Bowser kidnaps [[Princess Peach]]. As most of the original enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'' reappear in the remake, Bullet Bills do too. They can be defeated like they were in ''Super Mario Bros.'', with a jump, [[Koopa Shell]], or [[Super Star|Starman]], and are still immune to flames. The Blasters in ''The Lost Levels'' are even better-placed than in the other game; on levels with Bill Blasters, players have to watch where they jump very well. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| | In the SNES remake for ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a [[Bowser Impostor]] is really a Bullet Bill in World C-4. |
| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are encountered mostly in [[airship]] stages. Besides previous methods, it is also possible for Bullet Bills to be defeated from a [[Hammer]], a [[Raccoon Mario|tail attack]], or a [[Bob-omb]] in certain stages. The game introduces [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s, which turn around and fly back towards Mario if it misses him the first time. The [[World-e]] level in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' features diagonally-fired Bullet Bills.

| {{main|Bullet Biff}}
| | Bullet Bills do not appear as much in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as they did in previous games, mainly appearing in later worlds and on the bosses' [[Airship]]s. They can be defeated with a [[Jump]], [[Koopa Shell]], [[Super Star|Starman]], [[Hammer]], [[Raccoon Mario|tail attack]], or a [[Bob-omb]] (on certain levels). [[Fire Flower]]s still do not affect them. A new type of Bullet Bill appears in this game, the [[Bull's-Eye Bill]] (originally "Missile Bill"), which turns around and flies back towards Mario if it misses him the first time. They also appear in the remakes of this game: ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4]]''. |
| Bullet Bills do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', but they were given variants named Bullet Biffs. | |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''==== | | ====''Super Mario World''==== |
| [[File:BulletBill-SMW.png|frame]] | | Bullet Bills once again make an appearance when [[Dinosaur Land]] after [[Bowser]] takes over it. Though aren't common enemies, but their behavior changes slightly, as some levels feature areas where multiple Bullet Bills fly diagonally from four corners, and sometimes vertically shot Bullet Bills appear, too. They are shot from Bill Blasters, or, in some levels, they are shot from off-screen. ''Super Mario World'' also features the debuts of other subspecies of Bullet Bills such as [[Torpedo Ted]], which are Bullet Bills that are launched from [[Skull Box]]es underwater. The larger [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear for the first time. Additionally, when the [[Special World]] is completed, horizontal-moving Bullet Bills turn into '''Pidgit Bills''', which function identically but look like flying [[Pidgit]]s. In ''Super Mario Advance 2'', diagonally-fired Bullet Bills are also changed to this design, and they flap their wings rather than maintain a static image like ordinary Bullet Bills. |
| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Bullet Bills are first encountered in [[Vanilla Dome 4]] where they are fired off-screen, while Bullet Bills emitted from Turtle Cannons are first encountered in [[Sunken Ghost Ship]]. Bullet Bills in [[Cheese Bridge Area]] are encountered in a zone led from a Warp Pipe. The level [[Outrageous]] includes several Bullet Bills launched from Turtle Cannons. The game introduces Bullet Bills that are fired diagonally from four corners, Bullet Bills shot vertically, and both the [[Torpedo Ted]] and [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] variants. Additionally, when the [[Special Zone]] is completed, horizontal-moving Bullet Bills turn into '''Pidgit Bills''', which function identically but look like flying [[Pidgit]]s. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', vertically and diagonally-fired Bullet Bills are given this design and are animated to flap their wings.

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They often appear in the [[Mario Zone]]. Bullet Bills act like they do in previous games. Their design depicts them with grinning faces and no arms. | | In their first 3D appearance, Bullet Bills are only found in one location in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''; in the level [[Whomp's Fortress]]. After Mario defeats the [[Whomp King]], a [[Bill Blaster]] appears at the top of the fortress. The Bullet Bills shot out home in on Mario and explode upon contact with him. Bullet Bills can not be defeated in this game. If Mario gets hit, he loses three wedges of health. Oddly enough, these Bullet Bills' faces resemble those of a [[Banzai Bill]], but in the remake they look like the Bullet Bills from the other games. |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
| | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', there is another spot for Bullet Bills. It is at the base of [[Whomp's Fortress]], directly opposite of where Mario starts. They also appear in [[Dire Dire Docks]]. They can now be defeated by a well-timed kick or a [[Super Mushroom]], which sends them spinning backwards to eventually explode. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They are designed similarly to Banzai Bills. Bullet Bills are encountered in [[Whomp's Fortress]] only, after the [[Whomp King]] has been defeated, and are shot from Blaster at the top of the fortress. Bullet Bills home in on Mario and spin backwards upon contact, but explode after hitting a wall or after reaching a certain distance. Bullet Bills cannot be defeated, and any form of contact with it takes away three wedges of Mario's [[Health Meter|health]]. A Bullet Bill can appear from the blaster forcefully if Mario [[Ground Pound]]s it, though not in the remake.

|
| |
|
| In the remake, Bullet Bills can appear at the new base of Whomp's Fortress, directly opposite of the starting point. Bullet Bills were also added in [[Dire, Dire Docks]], at the submarine dock until completing [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]]. It was made possible to defeat a Bullet Bill from a [[kick]] or a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]], which sends them spinning backwards to eventually explode. The remake standardized the design of Bullet Bills, depicting them with smaller pupils, though their arms would be recolored from black to white in later appearances, matching their hands.
| | This is the first platforming ''Mario'' game where Bullet Bills cannot be jumped on. |

| [[File:Bullet Bill SMS.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'']] | | [[File:Bulletsunshine.JPG|200px|thumb|left|A Bullet Bill as seen in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''.]] |
| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They have been redesigned enitrely, having a metallic exterior, googly eyes, and smile in a manner akin to [[Torpedo Ted]]s. Bullet Bills make a quick radar beeping constantly as they fly. Bullet Bills appear with different colors and behaviors at various points in the game, coming in black, purple, [[Gold Bullet Bill|gold]], and blue. Most types of Bullet Bills release two [[coin]]s when squirted by [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], except Golden Bullet Bills, which release eight coins instead. Black Bullet Bills are first shown at [[Pinna Park]] during [[Mecha-Bowser Appears!|Episode 1]], being fired from four cannons in [[Mecha-Bowser]]'s chest and following the tracks of the roller coaster that Mario is riding, either from the front or back, though they can still miss him by a wide margin on certain turns. In [[The Beach Cannon's Secret|Episode 2]], black, purple, and golden Bullet Bills appear fired by [[Monty Mole]], and all of them travel in a long, downward arc, exploding when they hit the ground, with black and gold only differing in rarity and coin reward. '''Purple Bullet Bills''',<ref name=prima>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|page=19|date=September 3, 2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> which have blinking red nosecones, follow Mario on a horizontal plane if they approach him, similarly to Bullet Bills in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', though with a tight-but-lengthy u-turn if they miss; this type can destroy the baskets with [[Blue Coin]]s in the same [[Mission|episode]]. In [[Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] of [[Noki Bay]], a single inactive black Bullet Bill is found laying dormant in the platform connecting the cannon to the giant cork. In the battle against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] on [[Corona Mountain]], the latter shoots '''special Purple Bullet Bills'''<ref name=prima/> or '''Guided Bullet Bills''',<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|page=133|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|date=2002}}</ref> which come in black and blue, the former having a blinking nosecone (aside than the first one launched) and the latter being solid-colored. These ones follow Mario more persistently when they get a lock on him, but the large number causes them to have a fairly short and narrow line-of-sight, and they can also change their altitude to get on his level. These Bullet Bills can be defeated by jumped on, with the blue ones giving a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or [[Water Bottle]] if defeated this way, or from Bowser's [[Fire Breath]].
| | Between ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the appearance of Bullet Bills is greatly altered. The bullet bills here resemble Torpedo Teds. One of the major changes includes the fact that the Bullet Bills in this game are smiling, as opposed to the ones from ''Super Mario 64'', which have an angry expression on their faces. In addition, the Bullet Bills in this game have an overall more robotic appearance, including a metallic exterior and google-eyes. In <i>Super Mario Sunshine</i>, Bullet Bills are fired from [[Cannon]]s manned by [[Monty Mole]]s at different points throughout the game, as well as by [[Bowser Jr.]] during the [[Mecha-Bowser]] boss fight and the final boss battle at the end. |
|
| |
|
| In the demo reel on the title screen, black Bullet Bills have blinking red noses and solid red eyes with white pupils, like Purple Bullet Bills, so the design change occurred most likely very late in development. | | In this game, a few specific sub-species of Bullet Bills appear, aside from the normal black variety. These sub-species include Blue Bullet Bills, Crazy Bullet Bills, [[Bombshell Bill|gold Bullet Bills]], and purple [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. Every Bullet Bill variety can be dispelled simply by spraying them with water from [[F.L.U.D.D.]], which causes them to explode instantaneously. Each type of Bullet Bill releases 2 [[coin]]s when squirted, though gold Bullet Bills release 8 coins instead of just two. The Bull's-Eye Bills that home in on [[Mario]] after they are fired, feature blinking red noses, as opposed to the Bullet Bills that home in on Mario in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', which have blinking red eyes instead. During the final Boss battle, there are blue and red-nosed Bullet Bills that chase Mario. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Their role is based on their appearance from ''Super Mario Bros.'', except some of them are launched from [[Bill Blaster Turret]]s, and some can be additionally defeated from using a [[Mega Mushroom]]. [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s also return as enemies. Bullet Bills are encountered in {{world-link|2|castlen|World 2-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}; [[World 5-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-4]], where some appear from offscreen; [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-1]]; {{world-link|6|castlen|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, during the [[Monty Tank]] fight only, [[World 7-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-5]], and [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]]}}. | | [[File:6-1 NSMB.png|200px|thumb|right|[[Luigi]] Defeating Bullet Bills in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)#6-1|World 6-1]] of ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]] |

They appear in {{world|2|castle}}, World 5-4, World 6-1, World 7-5, and World 8-1. If the player jumps on them, they are defeated. They also can be defeated by hitting them with a [[Green Shell|Shell]], or using a [[Super Star|Starman]] or [[Mega Mushroom]], and are again immune to fireballs. Banzai Bills return, and now their [[Banzai Bill Blaster|source]] is confirmed. In World 5-4, they fly out from somewhere off-screen rather than being fired from Bill Blasters. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are very common and appear in several [[galaxy|galaxies]]. Upon being fired, if Bullet Bills notice the player character, their eyes turn red and they home in on him until hitting either him, an obstacle, or an enemy; this method can break open cages, destroy fences, and attack and eventually defeat [[Megaleg]] in [[Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor]]. If a Bullet Bill hits Mario, he is knocked down for a few seconds and loses a wedge of health. Both [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s and [[Torpedo Ted]]s also make a reappearance. | | [[File:Megaleghead.jpg|thumb|right|A Bullet Bill chases Mario in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]] |

After they have been fired, if they spot the player, their eyes will turn red and they will home in on Mario until they hit him, an obstacle or an enemy.

If they hit Mario, he is knocked down for a few seconds and loses a wedge of health. They are one of the most common enemies in the game, appearing in several galaxies. [[Torpedo Ted]]s also appear and can be used the same way as Bullet Bills although they make a specific radar sound in order to tell the player how close they are. [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear on [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], shot from Banzai Bill Blasters, but do not home in on the character. |

They also appear in several levels of [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]]. In World 5-5, Bullet Bills fly out from somewhere off-screen instead of being fired from Bill Blasters. |

The game introduces a [[Cat Bullet Bill]] based on the [[Cat Mario]] transformation that is based on the Tail Bullet Bills in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. | | Bullet Bills return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Similar to the Tail Bullet Bills in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', a [[Cat Bullet Bill]] based on the [[Cat Mario]] transformation also appear. They feature black and white cat ears and a tail, as well as being colored black on top and white on the bottom. These Bullet Bills chase after Mario, similar to a Bull's-Eye Bill. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They are encountered in the levels [[Sky-High Lifts and Leaps!]] and [[Bullet Bill Barrage]]. Bullet Bills behave the same as before, other than the fact that all of them are launched offscreen. Bull's-Eye Bills also make a returning appearance. | | ====''Super Mario Land''==== |
| | {{main|Bullet Biff}} |
| | Although the Bullet Bill doesn't appear in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', a sub-species called Bullet Biff does appear. Bullet Biffs resemble ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Bullet Bills with an added feature of a [[Rocket Engine]]. |

| [[File:SMO Art - E3 Char7.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' of a captured Bullet Bill]] | | [[File:BulletBill-SML2.png|frame|left]] |
| Bullet Bills are enemies ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are encountered in the [[Metro Kingdom]] and the [[Sand Kingdom]], where they wear visors, as well as in the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]], where they wear white top hats. Bullet Bills chase after Mario upon being fired from a Bill Blaster. If the Bullet Bill cannot see Mario, usually because he is inside a two-dimensional area and the Bullet Bill is not, the Bullet Bill just flies forward. They explode on contact with anything, including other Bullet Bills. This can break certain [[Block (Super Mario Odyssey)|Blocks]] or interact with a number of objects. They start to glow red if they fly for too long, which signifies that the Bullet Bill will explode on its own soon. Bullet Bills can also appear in two-dimensional areas, using their sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.''. They function as they do in that game, but still explode on contact with any surface. Bullet Bills are allowed to fly into and out of two-dimensional areas, with their behavior changing as part of the swap. | | Bullet Bills are commonly found in the [[Mario Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Bullet Bills act much like the previous Bullet Bills in other games. They fly in a straight direction and are shot by Bill Blasters. Mario can get rid of them by jumping on them or just dodging them, letting them fly off-screen.They more resemble their larger sub-species, Banzai Bills. |
| | |
| A Bullet Bill can be [[capture]]d temporarily, first by using the [[Cap Throw]] to knock off its hat and then using the Cap Throw a second time. As a captured Bullet Bill, Mario can travel across [[pit]]s. The player can accelerate with {{button|switch|Y}} or {{button|switch|X}}, causing purple flames to erupt from the Bullet Bill as it flies faster. Shaking the controller has the Bullet Bill twirl, increasing the speed further. Mario cannot change elevation. Between capturing the Bullet Bill and starting to fly, the player can rotate the Bullet Bill in any direction. Bullet Bills continue to explode on contact with anything or when their timer elapses, though this does not harm Mario and is easier to direct to the player's advantage since the Bullet Bill is being guided. The timer for exploding is reset when a Bullet Bill is captured for the first time. In dark areas, the eyes of a captured Bullet Bill are flashlights, illuminating the area in front of it and showing where Mario is After being released, a Bullet Bill is not stunned. A second timer is set, and the Bullet Bill flies forward instead of chasing Mario until that timer runs out.
| |
| | |
| Banzai Bills appear much later in the game, functioning similarly to Bullet Bills but with an immunity to Blocks and enemies. [[Knucklotec]], a boss in the Sand Kingdom, has two floating hands each named Kuncklotec's Fist. They can be captured, and control identically to Bullet Bills. The hands do not explode, but are still timed.

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Their role is similar as in ''Super Mario Maker'', but in the added ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, Bullet Bills can defeat enemies on contact and get defeated when hitting a wall; version 3.0.0 introduces the [[Bullet Bill Mask]] in said style.

They bounce back and forth between two walls, and racers that come into contact with them spin out and cause it to bounce off the screen. | | Bullet Bills are an enemy in [[Yoshi's Safari]]. They are present in a few levels. They come at [[Mario]] head on and are shot down with one hit from the [[Super Scope]]. The Bill blasters are not visible, the bill's come from somewhere off screen.

| [[File:MKDS Bullet Bill Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|A Bullet Bill in ''Mario Kart DS'', its first appearance as an item]] | | [[File:BulletBill-SMW2.png|frame|left]] |
| Bullet Bills are obstacles and an item in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. As obstacles, Bullet Bills are depicted with their arms flattened to their sides, and they appear in [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]] only. As an item, Bullet Bills are received by players in 6th place or lower. When activated, the user's entire [[kart]] briefly transforms into an invincible Bullet Bill, which rockets down the track at high speed, mostly in auto-pilot, but the player still has a little bit of steering control. Any driver or obstacle hit by a Bullet Bill, whether it is an item or an obstacle, is knocked out of the way and drops any item in their possession, a function derived from the [[Chain Chomp]] item in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. A Bullet Bill cannot damage players under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]] or a [[Boo]], though the former condition still knocks them aside slightly. Players using a Bullet Bill cannot receive any items from an [[Item Box]]. The Bullet Bill item has a longer duration, the lower ranked a player is. | | Bullet Bills chronologically first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The Bullet Bills in this game are colored green instead of black, and feature facial expressions as well. This game also introduces [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]]s, which bounce and ricochet off walls after being fired. The [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island#Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]] also added [[Biting Bullet Bill]]s that home in on Yoshi upon being shot out of their cannons. |

| | The Bills in this game can be defeated by any way most enemies can be defeated. If Yoshi catches a Bill with his tongue, it can be spit out and flies away from Yoshi like it has been shot out of a cannon, or Yoshi can eat one to produce an egg. |
| [[File:MKW Bullet Bill Screenshot.png|thumb|Wario using a Bullet Bill]]
| |
| Bullet Bills are items in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They can be received only by players in 8th place or lower, most commonly in 12th place, which has a 25% chance. Bullet Bills function identically as in ''Mario Kart DS'', though players under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]] can also be knocked back by this item. When a Bullet Bill is used, another one cannot be obtained until the current one is exhausted, much like the [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Blooper]], [[POW Block]], and [[Lightning]]. A Bullet Bill is the basis for the design of the [[Bullet Bike]].

Bullet Bills also may occasionally pop up and fly around the outfield at [[Bowser Jr. Playroom]], stunning players. |

| Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They appear from offscreen and can be defeated either from being [[stomp]]ed or with the [[Rage]] vibe. There are also mad variants known as the [[Mad Bullet Bill]]s, which fly faster than normal Bullet Bills. Pidgit Bills also make cameo appearances after Peach swipes with Perry at Bowser and the [[Vibe Scepter]] over the horizon and once Mario is saved. | | When [[Bowser]] kidnaps [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] and takes them to [[Vibe Island]], Bullet Bills once again reappear. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they can be defeated with a stomp, as usual. However, in this game, Bill Blasters do not appear; Bullet Bills come from somewhere off-screen. There is also a more dangerous type of Bullet Bills, known as [[Mad Bullet Bill]]s, which are red and fly very fast. Banzai Bills and Torpedo Teds also appear with variations called [[Mad Banzai Bill]]s and [[Glad Torpedo Ted]]s, respectively. |

| A Bullet Bill is a non-playable character in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. It is part of [[Shy Guy]]'s [[Skillshot]], known as [[Bullet Bill Blast]], where after charging the ball, Shy Guy summons a Bullet Bill and rides on it while holding the ball, going directly to the [[Kritter|Goalkeeper]] to knock him out in a explosion. | | {{multiple image |

| | In the games ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the player can collect Bullet Bills as [[item]]s. After activating the Bullet Bill, the player's entire kart will transform into a giant Bullet Bill, which will automatically rocket down the track on auto-pilot at very high speeds. The Bullet Bill is totally invincible, which allows the player to knock over any items, any course obstacles and any other drivers in the player's way, similarly to the [[Chain Chomp]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Damaged players by the Bullet Bill will also lose items in their possession. It will only last for a limited time, which increases the farther behind the player is in the race, and can only be received by the racers in 6th-8th place in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', 8th-12th place in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and if they are far enough away from the leader in ''Mario Kart 8'' due to the new item system introduced in this game. |
| | |
| | It has been greatly praised due to its ability to rocket the player around the course, knocking any player it comes across without having to steer. However, this item can be a disadvantage at times. For example, when racing on many of the trickier, narrower courses, the Bullet Bill can occasionally steer the player right up to the edge of the track, just before it wears off. This can often lead to the player falling into an abyss. In ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart 8'' Bullet Bills slow down when nearing the end of it's lifespan - which makes it less likely for a player to be thrown off the course. |
| | |
| | Players who are under the effects of the [[Mega Mushroom]] can be knocked back by this item. However, players who are invincible due to a [[Star]] or a [[Boo]], are not affected when a Bullet Bill collides with them. Also, there cannot be two characters with Bullet Bills at one time in a race except in Mario Kart 8, where up to 3 characters can have them at the same time. Multiple Bullet Bills can appear during the race if got at different times. |
| | |
| | Bullet Bills are also an obstacle in the [[Airship Fortress]] track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', but are replaced with Banzai Bills in ''Mario Kart 7''. |
| | [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' takes the form of a Bullet Bill and is called the [[Bullet Blaster]]. There is also a bike for small-sized characters in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' called the [[Bullet Bike]], which also resembles a Bullet Bill. ''Mario Kart 8'' shows that Bullet Bill's eyes glow in the dark, as seen in [[Toad's Turnpike]]. |

| ==General information==
| |
| ===Physical appearance and traits===
| |
| Bullet Bills are black anthropomorphic {{wp|missile}}-like creatures. They have eyes with black pupils/irises and engines at their backsides, thus allowing them to travel in the air. In most games, they can be defeated by simply [[jump]]ing on them, though other games make them more resilient. Like other enemies, Bullet Bills have had varying appearances. In the earlier ''Super Mario'' games, Bullet Bills had a slightly brown hue, though this was due to color limitations. Bullet Bills were inspired by shark mouth {{wp|nose art}} on fighter planes<ref>{{cite|language=ja|url=www.ndw.jp/mario-220913-2|title=宮本茂さんに聞く“マリオたちの名前の由来”|publisher=''[[Nintendo DREAM]]'' WEB|date=September 13, 2022|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref> and older artwork shows them with both arms and mouths, which are depicted variously in early sprites and models. To date, they appear with both arms and a visible mouth in the Game & Watch ''Super Mario Bros.'', the DIC Entertainment cartoons, ''Super Mario Bros. Print World'', the PC release of ''Mario's Time Machine'', ''Yoshi's Safari'', ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. In ''Super Mario Kart'', ''Super Mario 64'', and ''Yoshi's Story'', they lack arms but have an open mouth with sharp teeth and an angry expression, resembling [[Bomber Bill]]s. In ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Bullet Bills display a grin instead, as well as a green color scheme in the second of these. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', they have a slimmer shape in the vein of [[Torpedo Ted]]s, in addition to having a smile, fuller eyes, and rocket-like fins in the back. In the ''Nintendo Comics System'' and ''Mario Party Advance'', Bullet Bills are shown to be sentient and possess the ability to speak.
| |
| | |
| In most games, Bullet Bills simply fly around without targeting a victim, usually being launched from [[Bill Blaster]]s. However, the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games give Bullet Bills the ability to home in on their opponents, while their eyes turn red. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, Bullet Bills can also home in on their opponents, though only a few of them do this. In some cases, they can spin while flying. In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', Bullet Bills appear as [[Capture|capturable]] enemies; this game reveals that, Bullet Bills can fly at three different speeds, and can self-destruct after a certain period of time. In the ''Paper Mario'' games, Bullet Bills use a kamikaze attack, thus resulting in explosions. In ''Puzzles and Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', Bullet Bills are associated with the Dark attribute, boast higher ATK, and attack on every turn. The ''Mario & Sonic'' games depict Bullet Bill (and more specifically, [[Big Bullet Bill]]), as a Speed rival. This is supported by the ''Mario Kart'' series, which makes Bullet Bill a high-speed item with automatic turning capabilities. A billboard advertisement in ''Mario Kart Wii''{{'}}s [[Moonview Highway]] course addresses Bullet Bill as the "King of Speed".
