Terekuribo (talk | contribs) (I personally disagree with LinkTheLefty, Cat Banzail Bills are normal Banzai Bills powered-up by a Super Bell, not Bull's-Eye Banzais powered-up by a Super Bell. The SMM2 tidbit and the SM3DW filename, since they are the same for Cat Banzail Bills and Bull's-Eye Banzai, could mean that they share the same function (targeting Mario) and should be seen as equivalents rather than one being the derivative of the other. Both can then be seen as targeting derivatives of the normal Banzai Bill.) |

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.
