'''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 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 do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', though a subspecies native to [[Sarasaland]] named Bullet Biffs appears.

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.

|[[File:Bullet Bill SM64.png|160px]]||[[File:SM64DS Bullet Bill WF.png|160px]]|Screenshot from ''Super Mario 64'' (left) and ''Super Mario 64 DS'' (right)|size=320

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 the Turtle Cannon 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 Turtle Cannon 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.

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|date=September 3, 2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|page=19}}</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|date=2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Official Strategy Guide|publisher=BradyGAMES|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|page=133}}</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]].

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 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.

Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Some retain their homing capabilities, though other Bullet Bills 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. When in Yoshi's mouth, Bullet Bills blink before eventually exploding, which will damage him. Banzai Bills also return as enemies.

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.

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.

 

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 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 [[Bull's-Eye Billet Train]]s, variants of Bull's-Eye Bills consisting of multiple segments and dorsal fins.

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 (The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3)|Bud]] in "Mush-Rumors."

Bullet Bills<ref>{{cite|title=「VSマッチ専用の敵キャラ、キラー。ヤツが勝敗を決めることも。」Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Super Mario Kart''|language=ja|page={{file link|SMK NOG Killer.png|126}}}}</ref> appear as both obstacles and items in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].

Though they are officially meant to be Bullet Bills, they more resemble [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s; an earlier draft of the script more appropriately referred to these cartridges as "Banzai Bills".<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendoplayer.com/feature/super-mario-bros-movie|title=Fungus Among Us: Super Mario Bros. Movie Memorabilia Saved from the Set|publisher=Nintendo Player|language=en|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref>

During ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''{{'}}s development, the Bullet Bill was colored its usual black and was intended to bite as it moved.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites#killer.CGX|Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites § killer.CGX]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=November 12, 2021|language=en}}</ref>

Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They follow the same pattern as before, though the game introduces tongues for the mechanical irritants. The [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s of this game are slightly different in appearance and the Bullet Bills are golden in color.

{{multiframe|[[File:BulletBill-GWGallery3DKJr.png]] [[File:BulletBill-GWGallery4DKJr.png]]|size=200|align=left|A Bullet Bill in the ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' remakes in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' (left image) and ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' (right image)}}

Bullet Bills are enemies in the Modern version of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (New Wide Screen)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' as well as the Modern ''[[Fire Attack]]'' in the latter. They get in the way of [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] as he tries to rescue [[Donkey Kong]]. Additionally, in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', Bullet Bills appear in the Modern version of ''[[Fire Attack]]'', where they attempt to destroy a statue belonging to [[Wario]].

''[[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.

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. Ultimate)|spirit]] is encountered on {{iw|smashwiki|The Light Realm}} map; the puppet fighters are four small {{iw|smashwiki|Captain Falcon (SSBU)|Captain Falcons}} fought on the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage, with Bullet Bill items spawning throughout the battle.

A Bullet Bill is a character in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. He is a track and field athlete at the [[Mushroom Stadium]]. He is also a huge fan of the [[Kamek Krew]], owning all of their albums and even letting them perform at his stadium. For his quest, Bullet Bill can be raced by the player, and defeating him causes the player to be handed over the [[Mini Soccer]] [[Gaddget]]. In a separate quest, Bullet Bill is hesitant to rent out his stadium, but he eagerly obliges when he is told it is the [[Kamek Krew]], of which he is a big fan. Bullet Bill allows the Kamek Krew to perform there free of charge and begins the preparations. Some time later, Bullet Bill finished second in the world sprint trials.<ref>{{cite|quote=Finished second in the world sprint trials.|author=Bullet Bill|date=2005|title=''Mario Party Advance''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref>

Bullet Bills are obstacles in the [[Wheel of Woe]], [[StratosFEAR!]], and [[Helipopper]] minigames of ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. A character hit by a Bullet Bill in any of the minigames loses. In Wheel of Woe, saying a Bullet Bill's name summons two Bullet Bills out of [[Bill Blaster]]s on each side of the room at the other three players.

Like with the previous game, Bullet Bills only appear in one level, [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]], in World 6 in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. In this level, there are two Bill Blasters mounted at the platforms on the airship's exterior. However, unlike previous iterations, they cannot be battled; instead, they fly at Mario and damage him upon contact. They can be defeated by hammering them or jumping on them. Touching a Bullet Bill causes Mario to lose 2 [[Heart Point|HP]]. They were originally able to be battled, as evidenced by the text dump.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Paper Mario: Sticker Star#Enemies|Paper Mario: Sticker Star § Enemies]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=November 12, 2018}}</ref>

Bullet Bills appear in some [[microgame]]s in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'']] series. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Bullet Bills make appearances with their ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' sprites in the microgame [[Super Mario Bros. 3 (lift microgame)|Super Mario Bros. 3-Lift]], a ''Super Mario Bros. 3''-based microgame found in [[9-Volt]] and [[18-Volt]]'s stage, where they appear as one of the enemies that the player has to avoid. They also make cameos in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' in two microgames: in the [[Super Mario Bros. (Stomp!)|Super Mario Bros.]] ''Stomp!'' microgame, where in the third level, when the player defeats all the enemies, Mario appear riding in a Bullet Bill instead of in a Lakitu's Cloud, and in the microgame [[Clawing for More]], where they appear as one of the sprites that can appear when the player grabs the ball. Bullet Bills return in the [[Super Mario Bros. 3 (lift microgame)|Super Mario Bros. 3]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]''.

Though Bullet Bills do not appear in the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', a [[Big Bullet Bill]] appears as a rival in [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)#Adventure Tours story|Adventure Tours]] mode, where it is faced in [[Cubyrinth]]. Big Bullet Bill is also the fourth rival in [[Skeleton (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Wii)|Skeleton]] in Single Festival and the second rival in [[Bobsleigh (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Wii)|Bobsleigh]] in Team Festival.

A Bullet Bill can be transformed into a [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]] by giving it four [[Fire Flower]]s. Alternatively, giving a Bullet Bill three [[Goomba Coin]]s transforms it into a mash-up enemy, called Bullet Bill & [[Goomba]] (a solo Goomba on a Bullet Bill blaster). Six more Goomba Coins transforms Bullet Bill & Goomba into Bullet Bill & Goombas (two Goombas on a Bullet Bill blaster).

Bullet Bills are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They take on a knitted appearance, consistent with the game's theme. The game introduces the [[Woollet Bill]] variant.

[[Princess Peach]]'s [[Training Course]] also features Bullet Bills alongside [[Bomber Bill]]s. However, these do not explode. Mario is knocked out by a Bullet Bill in one of his failed attempts to complete the course.

Hidden within the data of the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' is an unused Bullet Bill that would have functioned similarly to the [[Goomba]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Boo]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s in both that game and the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version.<ref>{{cite|title={{iw|tcrf|Yoshi (Game Boy)}}|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=October 20, 2021}}</ref> It is fully functional, though it turns into garbage graphics when it settles on a plate.

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|date=September 13, 2022|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|language=ja|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.
