Editing Bullet Bill

[[Image:NSMBBulletbill.jpg|right|thumb|A '''Bullet Bill''' from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.]]

'''Bullet Bills''' Have been enemies of [[Mario]] since the very beginning. These annoying missiles can be found throughout many of the classic Mario games and in newer games, where they have increasingly been items. They are shot out of [[Bill Blasters]], and are usually under Bowser's control.

== History ==

=== ''Super Mario Bros.'' === 
When the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] was overrun by [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bullet Bills were Bowser's prime ammunition. Bullet Bills first appeared in World 5-1. They were usually shot from a large cannon, the [[Bill Blaster]]. Sometimes, Bullet Bills would be shot from random locations somewhere off-screen. The Bill Blasters were placed very strategically in almost all levels, being wherever Mario was. One of the most frustrating places was on the ground, so even a normal-sized Mario would have to jump over them. To defeat the Bill, the player had to either jump on them, kick a [[Koopa Shell]] at them or use a [[Starman]]. They were immune to [[Fire Flowers]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''===
Bullet Bills reappeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' when, once again, Bowser kidnapped [[Princess Peach]]. As most of the original enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'' reappeared, Bullet Bills did too. They could be defeated like their ''Super Mario Bros.'' cousins, with a jump, [[Koopa Shell]], or [[Starman]], and were also immune to flames. The Blasters in The Lost Levels were even more well-placed than in the other game; on levels with Bill Blasters, a player had to watch where they jumped very well.

=== ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' ===
Bullet Bills did 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. A new type of Bullet Bill appeared in this games, the [[Missile Bill]], which turned around and went towards Mario if it missed him the first time it went by him. These ones could be defeated with a [[Koopa Shell]], a [[Jump]], a [[Starman]], a [[Hammer]] or a [[Bob-Omb]] on certain levels. They were immune to [[Fire Flowers]] and [[Racoon Mario]]. They also appeared in the remakes of this game: [[Super Mario All-Stars]] and [[Super Mario Advance 4]].

=== ''Super Mario World'' ===
Bullet Bills once again made an appearance when [[Yoshi's Island]] was under the tyrrany of [[Bowser]]. This time, they were very uncommon enemies, appearing in only a few levels. Super Mario World also featured the first appearance of a couple other subspecies of Bullet Bills that were used in later games. One of these is the [[Torpedo Ted]], which was a Bullet Bill that was launched from a cannon underwater. [[Banzai Bill]]s also made their first appearance, which are larger, more menacing version of Bullet Bills, but could be defeated with a single stomp. Also, when the player finished the [[Special World]], all of the Bullet Bills turned into [[Pidgit Bill]]s, which were just [[Pidget]]s launced out of a [[Bill Blaster]].

=== ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' ===
Bullet Bills appeared again on [[Yoshi's Island]] when [[Kamek]] kidnapped [[Baby Mario]] ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' introduced [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]]s, which bounce and ricochet off walls after being fired. Also, in the Game Boy Advance version there were red Bullet Bills with gnashing fangs that homed in on Yoshi upon being shot out of their cannon.  Also added was a Green Bullet Bill, whose Blaster would follow Yoshi and turn with him. The Bills in this game could be defeated by any way enemies could be defeated. If Yoshi caught a Bill with his tougue, it could be spit out and would go away from Yoshi like it had been shot out of a cannon.

=== ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' ===
Bullet Bills were commonly found in the [[Mario Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]''. Bullet Bills acted much like the previous Bullet Bills in other games. They flew in a straight direction and were shot by Bill Blasters. Mario could get rid of them simply by jumping on them or just dodging them, letting them fly off-screen. [[Torpedo Ted]]s also made their second appearance in this game.

=== ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' ===
{{rewrite}}
In [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], Bullet Bills were used in attacks from [[Snifit]]s and [[Big Bertha (cannon)|Big Bertha]]s.  There were also gold colored ones (Much like [[Bombshell Bill]]s) called [[Magnum]]s that could defeat Mario or one of his partners in one hit.

=== ''Super Mario 64'' ===
Bullet Bills were only found in one location in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', in the level [[Whomp's Fortress]]. In the levels after Mario had defeat the [[Whomp King]], a [[Bill Blaster]] would appear at the top of the fortress. The Bullet Bills shot out would home in on Mario. Bullet Bills could not be defeated in this game. They took away 3 pieces of Mario's Life Meter.

Later, in [[Super Mario 64 DS]], there was another spot for Bullet Bills. It was at the base of [[Whomp's Forterss]], directly opposite of where Mario starts.

=== ''Yoshi's Story'' ===
[[image:Bbillart.gif|left|frame|A ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' Bullet Bill.]]

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Bullet Bills followed the same pattern as in other games. However, this game introduced tongues for the mechanical irritants. They followed the exact same attack pattern as in other games. The [[Bill Blasters]] of this game were slightly different.

=== ''Paper Mario'' ===
Normal Bullet Bills were in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' when, once again, Bowser kidnapped Peach. These would attack by ramming into Mario, defeating themselves but causing a lot of damage to Mario. There was an infinite supply shot from [[Bill Blasters]]. They could be found in the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], right before the [[Koopa Bros.]] were fought.

Gold Bullet Bills known as [[Bombshell Bill]]s were also introduced in ''Paper Mario'' and were shot from [[Bombshell Bill Blaster]]s. They were found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. These attacked the same way as the Bullet Bills from this game, but had more HP, did more damage, and had 1 defense.

=== ''Super Mario Sunshine'' ===
[[Image:bulletsunshine.JPG|right|frame|A Bullet Bill being shot out.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a [[Monty Mole]] appeared that manned a cannon, firing Bullet Bills at Mario. Here were also [[Missile Bill]]s which were purple, with a glowing red nosecone. They homed in on Mario and exploded after a short time. Bullet Bills could be destroyed with a burst of water from [[FLUDD]]. Rarely, Monty Mole would fire a golden Bullet Bill, which when destroyed, would yield extra coins. Bullet Bills were also fired by [[Mecha Bowser]], one of the bosses at [[Pinna Park]]. Finally, in the final battle against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser Jr. would fire regular black Bullet Bills and the occasional blue Bullet Bills, which when jumped on, gave Mario a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or a water bottle.

=== ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' ===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters returned as enemies at [[Stardust Fields]]. These ones fought the same way as in ''[[Paper Mario]]'': launching themselves and destroying themselves, causing Mario or Luigi lots of damage. The game also featured a new subspecies called the [[Sniper Bill]], a large Bullet Bill that used a Super Scope as a weapon that fired a smaller Bullet Bill. It was found in [[Bowser's Castle]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bullet Bills appeared as enemies in the [[Pirate's Grotto]], where they were once again shot by Bill Blasters. Bombshell Bills and their Blasters also appeared in the [[Palace of Shadow]]. Bullet Bills would home in on Mario to damage him, destroying themselves by doing so.

=== ''Super Princess Peach'' ===
When [[Bowser]] kidnaps [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] and took them to [[Vibe Island]], Bullet Bills once again reappeared. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they could be defeated with a stomp, as usual. There was also a more dangerous type of Bullet Bills, known as [[Mad Bullet Bill]]s. These went very fast out of their Blasters, and were red.

=== ''New Super Mario Bros.'' ===
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bullet Bills appeared in various levels, and would be shot out of Bill Blasters. If Mario or Luigi [[jump]]ed them, they would be defeated. This game also featured [[Banzai Bills]], a giant Bill that is defeated with a single stomp.

===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[Image:SMG_CosmicBulletBill.jpg|left|thumb|'''Bullet Bills''' from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Bullet Bills follow Mario until it hits an obstacle or enemy. These can also be used to break open cages and destroy fences. [[Torpedo Teds]] also appear in certain levels, and can be used the same way as Bullet Bills although they make a specific radar sound in order to help you know how close they are.

== Other Events ==
=== ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' ===
A Banzai Bill is also found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The missile falls from the sky and crashes into [[Princess Peach's Castle]], causing an explosion which damages the characters. Another Banzai Bill can be seen in the background of the Yoshi's Island stage.

=== ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' ===
Bullet Bills are a special item in the Challenge Mode of ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. When bought, it will allow [[Bowser]] to use his [[Power Shot]], the [[Killer Ball]], in a Challenge Mode game. The Bullet Bill is also Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s Power Shot. While pitching, when fired, a Bullet Bill will be launched at the batter. It will go slow at first, but when it gets close to the batter, it will fly in a loop. then zoom pass the batter. It can still be hit, however. While batting, when Bowser or Bowser Jr. hit the ball, they will launch a Bullet Bill across the field which, if caught, will push the catcher really far back. It stops working when it hits the ground. Bowser Jr.'s Bullet Bill wears a Bandanna.

=== ''Mario Kart DS'' ===
[[Image:Bullet Bill Mario.jpg|thumb|left|Bullet Bill as an item in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
In the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the player can collect Bullet Bills as [[item]]s. After activating the Bullet Bill, it will guide the player's kart, and rocket automatically down the track, knocking over any enemies or projectiles in the player's way, similarly to the [[Chain Chomp]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The Bullet Bill can only be received by the drivers on 6th-8th place. However, this item can sometimes also be a curse. When on the trickier, narrower courses these can some time drive right up to the edge of the track and then drop the kart, causing the kart to fall off the track, and lose all the spots gained using that item.

=== ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ===
[[Image:BrawlBulletBill.jpg|right|thumb|Bullet Bills in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bullet Bills appear in a stage of ''The Subspace Emissary'', the adventure mode. They are seen flying straight from right to left, as they did in Mario platformers. Their size has been increased. Bullet Bills may or may not be affiliated with the [[Subspace Army]].

== Cameo Appearances ==
Bullet Bills have appeared occasionally as enemies in a ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' mini-game. In the mini-game [[Cardiators]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', three Bullet Bills appear as a card enemy and do 9 damage.

They also appeared in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' in a mini-game, fired by a Mecha Bowser 2.0. [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart:  Double Dash!!]]'' takes the form of a Bullet Bill and is called the [[Bullet Blaster]]. Bullet Bills are also an obstacle in the [[Airship Fortress]] track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', a Bullet Bill can be seen on the shirt of Fyer, a clown that operates the cannon.

== Appearances in Other Media ==

[[Image: CartoonBill.jpg|thumb|left|Three Bullet Bills, from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "[[Robo Koopa]]".]]

=== Cartoons ===

Bullet Bills make only one appearance in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', in the series finale of the show, "[[Robo Koopa]]", although Bullet Bill-like projectiles with faces were fired by a Snifit in the earlier episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]".

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bullet Bills make a small appearance in the episode "[[Mush-Rumors]]", where they are fired from the [[Doomship]] alongside other munitions during the Koopa Family's attack on a group of "aliens" (actually, a family of lost of [[human]]s).

=== Publications ===

In the [[Nintendo Comics System]] story "[[The Kingdom Enquirer]]", several Bullet Bills (depicted as being able to talk) appear among the various monsters pestering [[Toad]] (who had become a reporter) for an interview. A later story, entitled "[[Bowser Knows Best|Bowser Knows Best!]]", also features Bullet Bills, who the [[Koopalings]] hitch a ride on in order to chase down [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who had previously escaped their clutches.

In ''[[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power's]]'' [[Super Mario Adventures]] comic, a Bullet Bill makes a relatively small appearance; after accidentally activating a Bill Blaster after knocking Luigi off it, Mario is blasted by a Bullet Bill, which he ends-up riding straight into the [[Koopaling's Tower]], where he is captured by Bowser's forces.

=== Film ===

In the 1993 ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film, miniature, non-explosive Bullet Bills appear as the power source of the [[Thwomp Stomper]] boots used by Mario, Luigi and [[Big Bertha (character)|Big Bertha]]; a neon sign advertising a bar called "Bullet Bill's" can also be seen prominently displayed in [[Dinohattan]] throughout the film.

-'''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 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.
-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''.

-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.

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 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.
+=== ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' ===
+Bullet Bills appeared again on [[Yoshi's Island]] when [[Kamek]] kidnapped [[Baby Mario]] ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' introduced [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]]s, which bounce and ricochet off walls after being fired. Also, in the Game Boy Advance version there were red Bullet Bills with gnashing fangs that homed in on Yoshi upon being shot out of their cannon.  Also added was a Green Bullet Bill, whose Blaster would follow Yoshi and turn with him. The Bills in this game could be defeated by any way enemies could be defeated. If Yoshi caught a Bill with his tougue, it could be spit out and would go away from Yoshi like it had been shot out of a cannon.

+Bullet Bills were commonly found in the [[Mario Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins]]''. Bullet Bills acted much like the previous Bullet Bills in other games. They flew in a straight direction and were shot by Bill Blasters. Mario could get rid of them simply by jumping on them or just dodging them, letting them fly off-screen. [[Torpedo Ted]]s also made their second appearance in this game.
-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]].
-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 [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], Bullet Bills were used in attacks from [[Snifit]]s and [[Big Bertha (cannon)|Big Bertha]]s.  There were also gold colored ones (Much like [[Bombshell Bill]]s) called [[Magnum]]s that could defeat Mario or one of his partners in one hit.
-====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
+=== ''Super Mario 64'' ===
-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]]}}.
+Bullet Bills were only found in one location in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', in the level [[Whomp's Fortress]]. In the levels after Mario had defeat the [[Whomp King]], a [[Bill Blaster]] would appear at the top of the fortress. The Bullet Bills shot out would home in on Mario. Bullet Bills could not be defeated in this game. They took away 3 pieces of Mario's Life Meter.
-====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
+Later, in [[Super Mario 64 DS]], there was another spot for Bullet Bills. It was at the base of [[Whomp's Forterss]], directly opposite of where Mario starts.
-[[File:SMG Bullet Bill.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
-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.
-====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
+=== ''Yoshi's Story'' ===
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They act the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', though they can be frozen by an [[Ice Ball]] from [[Ice Mario|Ice]] or [[Penguin Mario]]. Unlike other flying enemies, Bullet Bills could be picked up and thrown while frozen. They are encountered in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]]; [[World 5-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-5]], being fired from off-screen only; in [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6]], including as [[Enemy Course]]s; and in several levels of [[World 7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7]]. In addition to Missile Bills and Banzai Bills reappearing, the game also introduces [[King Bill]]s and [[Bull's-Eye Banzai|homing Banzai Bills]].
+[[image:Bbillart.gif|left|frame|A ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' Bullet Bill.]]
-====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
+In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Bullet Bills followed the same pattern as in other games. However, this game introduced tongues for the mechanical irritants. They followed the exact same attack pattern as in other games. The [[Bill Blasters]] of this game were slightly different.
-[[File:MegaHammerBattle.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', showing Bullet Bills chase Mario and [[Yoshi]] in the battle against [[Megahammer]].]]
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Several retain their homing capabilities, though some Bullet Bills in [[Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet]] and [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] fly straight and do not follow the player character. [[Yoshi]] can use his tongue to capture an incoming Bullet Bill in his mouth and spit it back out at other incoming enemies or bosses; this is required to attack and eventually defeat [[Megahammer]], which launches out Bullet Bills constantly. Banzai Bills also return as enemies.
-====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
+=== ''Paper Mario'' ===
-[[File:SM3DL Bullet Bill.PNG|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario 3D Land'', showing Bullet Bills in [[World 2-Airship (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-Airship]]]]
+Normal Bullet Bills were in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' when, once again, Bowser kidnapped Peach. These would attack by ramming into Mario, defeating themselves but causing a lot of damage to Mario. There was an infinite supply shot from [[Bill Blasters]]. They could be found in the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], right before the [[Koopa Bros.]] were fought.
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. This is the first 3D game where Bullet Bills travel in only a single direction and to have [[stomp]]ing or a [[boomerang]] as a method for defeating them. A Bullet Bill that is tail-whipped by [[Tanooki Mario]] changes its angle after a spin and keeps flying. The game introduces [[Tail Bullet Bill]]s, which are Bullet Bills that have striped tails.
-====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
+Gold Bullet Bills known as [[Bombshell Bill]]s were also introduced in ''Paper Mario'' and were shot from [[Bombshell Bill Blaster]]s. They were found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. These attacked the same way as the Bullet Bills from this game, but had more HP, did more damage, and had 1 defense.
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They retain their traits from before. While a [[Gold Ring]] is active, Bullet Bills become [[Gold Bullet Bill|golden]] and leave a trail of coins behind them. Jumping on the Bullet Bills themselves discontinue the production of any more coins. Exclusively in the course packs [[Coin Challenge Pack B]] and [[Platform Panic Pack]] are diagonally flying Bullet Bills.
-====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
+=== ''Super Mario Sunshine'' ===
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act similarly as before, though produce a red smoky flare like in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Bullet Bills also appear in the battle against [[Roy|Roy Koopa]], who shoots them from a Bill Blaster at players. Besides the returning [[Torpedo Ted]]s from ''Super Mario World'', Bullet Bills also have a variant named [[Targeting Ted]]s.
+[[Image:bulletsunshine.JPG|right|frame|A Bullet Bill being shot out.]]
-====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
+In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', a [[Monty Mole]] appeared that manned a cannon, firing Bullet Bills at Mario. Here were also [[Missile Bill]]s which were purple, with a glowing red nosecone. They homed in on Mario and exploded after a short time. Bullet Bills could be destroyed with a burst of water from [[FLUDD]]. Rarely, Monty Mole would fire a golden Bullet Bill, which when destroyed, would yield extra coins. Bullet Bills were also fired by [[Mecha Bowser]], one of the bosses at [[Pinna Park]]. Finally, in the final battle against [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]], Bowser Jr. would fire regular black Bullet Bills and the occasional blue Bullet Bills, which when jumped on, gave Mario a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or a water bottle.
-[[File:BulletBillSM3DW.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from ''Super Mario 3D World'', showing Bullet Bills being launched]]
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They act the same as before. 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''.
-====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
+=== ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' ===
-[[File:Img mashiko 02.gif|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Maker'', showing [[Mary O.]] hammer a loose nail on a [[Bill Blaster]]]]
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They are not standalone enemies, since they emerge from Bill Blasters only. Likewise, [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s return, and they are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster]]s.
-{{br}}
-====''Super Mario Run''====
+In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Bullet Bills and Bill Blasters returned as enemies at [[Stardust Fields]]. These ones fought the same way as in ''[[Paper Mario]]'': launching themselves and destroying themselves, causing Mario or Luigi lots of damage. The game also featured a new subspecies called the [[Sniper Bill]], a large Bullet Bill that used a Super Scope as a weapon that fired a smaller Bullet Bill. It was found in [[Bowser's Castle]].
-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 Odyssey''====
+=== ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' ===
-[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char7.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' of a captured Bullet Bill]]
+{{ttydenemy
-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.
+|PM2=yes
+|image=[[Image:PPTTYDBulletBill.jpg]]
-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.

+|atk=4
-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.

+In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bullet Bills appeared as enemies in the [[Pirate's Grotto]], where they were once again shot by Bill Blasters.

+When [[Bowser]] kidnaps [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] and took them to [[Vibe Island]], Bullet Bills once again reappeared. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they could be defeated with a stomp, as usual. There was also a more dangerous type of Bullet Bills, known as [[Mad Bullet Bill]]s. These went very fast out of their Blasters, and were red.
-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. A few variants were introduced, all prominently in [[Castle Bowser]] levels: [[Missile Meg]]s, which bear a vicious grimace and a more elongated shape resembling a missile and can be stood upon; [[Seeker Bullet Bill]]s, which stick onto surfaces and fly towards the players on contact; and [[Renketsu Search Killer]]s, variants of Bull's-Eye Bills consisting of multiple segments and dorsal fins.

+In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Bullet Bills follow Mario until it hits an obstacle or enemy. These can also be used to break open cages and destroy fences. [[Torpedo Teds]] also appear in certain levels, and can be used the same way as Bullet Bills although they make a specific radar sound in order to help you know how close they are.

-Bullet Bills appear only in "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]" and "[[Mush-Rumors]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are projectiles fired from the [[Bowser's Airship|Doom Ship]]. Additionally, they are launched at a family consisting of [[Norman]], [[Bud and Missy's mother|his wife]], [[Missy]], and [[Bud]] in "Mush-Rumors."
+A Banzai Bill is also found in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The missile falls from the sky and crashes into [[Princess Peach's Castle]], causing an explosion which damages the characters. Another Banzai Bill can be seen in the background of the Yoshi's Island stage.
-===''Nintendo Comics System''===
+=== ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' ===
-In the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story "[[The Kingdom Enquirer]]", several Bullet Bills (depicted as being able to talk) appear among the various monsters pestering [[Toad]] (who had become a reporter) for an interview. A later story, entitled "[[Bowser Knows Best]]", also features Bullet Bills, who the [[Koopalings]] hitch a ride on in order to chase down [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], who had previously escaped their clutches.
+Bullet Bills are a special item in the Challenge Mode of ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. When bought, it will allow [[Bowser]] to use his [[Power Shot]], the [[Killer Ball]], in a Challenge Mode game. The Bullet Bill is also Bowser and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s Power Shot. While pitching, when fired, a Bullet Bill will be launched at the batter. It will go slow at first, but when it gets close to the batter, it will fly in a loop. then zoom pass the batter. It can still be hit, however. While batting, when Bowser or Bowser Jr. hit the ball, they will launch a Bullet Bill across the field which, if caught, will push the catcher really far back. It stops working when it hits the ground. Bowser Jr.'s Bullet Bill wears a Bandanna.
-===''Super Mario Adventures''===
+=== ''Mario Kart DS'' ===
-In ''[[Nintendo Power]]''{{'}}s ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, a Bullet Bill makes a relatively small appearance; after accidentally activating a Turtle Cannon after knocking Luigi off it, Mario is blasted by a Bullet Bill, which he ends-up riding straight into the Koopaling's Tower, where he is captured by Bowser's forces.
+[[Image:Bullet Bill Mario.jpg|thumb|left|Bullet Bill as an item in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]
-{{br|left}}
+In the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the player can collect Bullet Bills as [[item]]s. After activating the Bullet Bill, it will guide the player's kart, and rocket automatically down the track, knocking over any enemies or projectiles in the player's way, similarly to the [[Chain Chomp]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The Bullet Bill can only be received by the drivers on 6th-8th place. However, this item can sometimes also be a curse. When on the trickier, narrower courses these can some time drive right up to the edge of the track and then drop the kart, causing the kart to fall off the track, and lose all the spots gained using that item.

-{{multiframe|[[File:SMK Bullet Bill.png]]|size=130|A Bullet Bill in ''Super Mario Kart''}}
+Bullet Bills have appeared occasionally as enemies in a ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' mini-game. In the mini-game [[Cardiators]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', three Bullet Bills appear as a card enemy and do 9 damage.
-Bullet Bills are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They appear in Match Race, functioning as additional obstacles in all Mario Circuit courses, Donut Plains courses (excluding [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]]) and Bowser Castle courses. 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.
-====''Mario Kart DS''====
+They also appeared in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' in a mini-game, fired by a Mecha Bowser 2.0. [[Bowser Jr.]]'s [[kart]] in ''[[Mario Kart:  Double Dash!!]]'' takes the form of a Bullet Bill and is called the [[Bullet Blaster]]. Bullet Bills are also an obstacle in the [[Airship Fortress]] track in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. In ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', a Bullet Bill can be seen on the shirt of Fyer, a clown that operates the cannon.
-[[File:MKDS Bullet Bill Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|A Bullet Bill in ''Mario Kart DS'', its first appearance as an item]]
-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.
-====''Mario Kart Wii''====
+== Appearances in Other Media ==
-[[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]].
-====''Mario Kart 7''====
+[[Image: CartoonBill.jpg|thumb|left|Three Bullet Bills, from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode "[[Robo Koopa]]".]]
-Bullet Bills are items in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They function similarly as in ''Mario Kart Wii'', but can be received by players only in 6th place or lower. Bullet Bills now slow before expiring, reducing the likelihood of players falling off the course. The warning sound from ''Mario Kart Wii'' also plays when a Bullet Bill is nearby.
-====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
+=== Cartoons ===
-Bullet Bills make a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', where in one of the courses they fly overhead as the player approaches the finish line. However, they do not affect gameplay.
-====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
+Bullet Bills make only one appearance in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', in the series finale of the show, "[[Robo Koopa]]", although Bullet Bill-like projectiles with faces were fired by a Snifit in the earlier episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]".
-Bullet Bills are items in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|its port]]. They also have their own sponsor, [[Bullet Bill Speed Trial]]. A Bullet Bill's eyes glow in the dark in [[Twisted Mansion]] and other dark areas. Originally, the rear-view mirror is not usable while using a Bullet Bill, though this was changed as of version 2.3.0 of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Players who can receive a Bullet Bill have to be a certain distance from the player in first place. Up to three Bullet Bills can be used on a course at once.
-====''Mario Kart Tour''====
+In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Bullet Bills make a small appearance in the episode "[[Mush-Rumors]]", where they are fired from the [[Doomship]] alongside other munitions during the Koopa Family's attack on a group of "aliens" (actually, a family of lost of [[human]]s).
-Bullet Bills are items in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. During a Bullet Bill [[Frenzy]], two smaller Bullet Bills fly beside the player. The player can launch said Bullet Bills forwards by tapping the screen, which home in on a racer ahead of them, and explode upon striking them. There is also a new glider introduced in the [[Bowser vs. DK Tour]] that is a recreation of the Bullet Bill's appearance in ''Super Mario Bros.'', aptly named [[8-Bit Bullet Bill]].
-The following gliders increase the chance of getting Bullet Bills and points for hitting racers under the effects of one.

-Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They are colored green instead of black and have facial expressions. The game introduces [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]]s, which bounce and ricochet off walls after being fired. The [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]] also adds [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s, which home in on Yoshi while biting upon being shot out of their cannons. Bullet Bills can be defeated through the same methods as most enemies. If Yoshi catches a Bullet 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.

-In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Apprentice (Snifit)|Apprentice]]s, [[Snifster]]s, [[Bill Blaster|Blaster]]s, and [[Big Blaster]]s use Bullet Bills as a way to attack. Usually, touching one in the overworld prompts a battle with Blasters or Big Blasters, though a room in the [[Sunken Ship]] has them shot by normal [[cannon]]s and simply push Mario to a lower floor. This game also introduces [[Blazer]]s, an alternate variety of Bullet Bills, which are used by Blasters and Big Blasters to defeat a party member in one hit and cannot be blocked. [[Smithy]] uses a similar variety called [[Magnum]]s.

-''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game where Bullet Bills do not appear. However, the [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of the Banzai Bill enemy from [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]] erroneously identifies it as "Bullet Bill" when the language is set to English. This was fixed in later NTSC revisions and the PAL version to match the Japanese text.

Players explode if they hit a solid wall, including ceilings and floors, and the resulting explosion deals even further damage to players and has a blast radius.
-In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', in addition to returning as items, a Bullet Bill also appears as one of the drawings drawn by [[smashwiki:Nikki|Nikki]]. After it is fully drawn, it launches off, damaging any opponent in its path. A Bullet Bill also appears in the game as a Novice-class Attack-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}}. Once it reaches level 99, it can be enhanced to a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.

-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".
