Like normal Banzai Bills, Cat Banzai Bills are fired from [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]s. However, unlike normal Banzai Bills, they will lock onto and follow the player, being very similar to [[Bull's-Eye Banzai]]s in this sense. Also, unlike normal Banzai Bills, Cat Banzai Bills are colored white on their lower half, instead of being completely black, making them resemble a {{wp|Bicolor cat|tuxedo cat}}. They will sometimes drop a Super Bell when defeated. They make their only appearance in [[The Bullet Bill Express]].
Cat Bomber Bills make their first and only appearance in [[The Bullet Bill Express]] of [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 3]], earlier than Bomber Bills, which debut in [[Mystery House Mad Dash]] of [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 4]].


Cat Banzai Bills reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they are enemies that can be placed in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Unlike their normal counterparts, they cannot be set to fire from the background. They replace Bull's-Eye Banzais from the other game styles.
Cat Bomber Bills return as course elements in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', replacing Bull's-Eye Banzais (while still keeping Bull's-Eye Banzai's name in the menu, and being announced as Banzai Bill), but cannot be set to fire from the background, unlike their regular counterparts.

Cat Bomber Bills,[1] previously referred to as Cat Banzai Bills,[2] are a type of Bomber Bill under the effects of a Super Bell. Their lower half is white, reminiscent of a tuxedo cat. Cat Bomber Bills first appear in Super Mario 3D World and its port. They are launched from Banzai Bill Cannons and can lock on to the player character, making them equivalent to Bull's-Eye Banzais. Cat Bomber Bills sometimes drop a Super Bell upon defeat. Cat Banzai Bills are the game's only cat enemies that do not make any meowing sounds.

Cat Bomber Bills make their first and only appearance in The Bullet Bill Express of World 3, earlier than Bomber Bills, which debut in Mystery House Mad Dash of World 4.

Cat Bomber Bills return as course elements in the Super Mario 3D World style of Super Mario Maker 2, replacing Bull's-Eye Banzais (while still keeping Bull's-Eye Banzai's name in the menu, and being announced as Banzai Bill), but cannot be set to fire from the background, unlike their regular counterparts.
