Bull's-Eye Banzais are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are encountered in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]] only. Unlike [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bills]], they only have a limited homing ability where they will track their target's vertical position and then continue forward once they reach that height. Their animation is very limited as well, always maintaining a horizontal position and never turning to point at their target. It can be defeated by being [[stomp]]ed or if touched while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. A Bull's-Eye Banzai cannot be frozen by an ice ball, which will break the ice and release itself when the ice ball reaches it. Likewise, [[POW Block]]s are useless against them. | |||

Bull's-Eye Banzais, referred to as Bull's-Eye Bomber Bills on Mario Portal,[1] are red Banzai Bills and a larger variety of Bull's-Eye Bills that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They attack by homing in on the player character.
In the Prima Games guidebook produced for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, neither of the Banzai Bills—including the returning black ones[2]—are provided individual names, with both of them instead referred to as "King Bills."[3] This name is shared with another giant Bullet Bill variant introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii[4] and the only enemy referred to as a "King Bill" in subsequent games. The name "Bull's-Eye Banzai" was first introduced in Super Mario Maker 2, resulting in this red Banzai Bill enemy being unnamed in English for about a decade.
Similarly-behaving Banzai Bills called Cat Banzai Bills appears in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Bull's-Eye Banzais are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They are encountered in World 9-3 only. Unlike Missile Bills, they only have a limited homing ability where they will track their target's vertical position and then continue forward once they reach that height. Their animation is very limited as well, always maintaining a horizontal position and never turning to point at their target. It can be defeated by being stomped or if touched while under the effects of a Star. A Bull's-Eye Banzai cannot be frozen by an ice ball, which will break the ice and release itself when the ice ball reaches it. Likewise, POW Blocks are useless against them.
An unfinished setting exists suggesting some Banzai Bill Cannons would have fired them, something that never occurs during gameplay.
The Bull's-Eye Banzai is the only enemy introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii to not appear in New Super Mario Bros. U.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Bull's-Eye Banzais appear in Super Mario Maker 2. Unlike previously, they can move a full 360° to track players like the Bull's-Eye Bill, and the marks on their eyes are red, like the normal Banzai Bill, instead of black. In a vein similar to Banzai Bills, Bull's-Eye Banzais also receive new designs for all of the present game styles, consisting of a solid red coloration of the original designs. They are replaced by Cat Banzai Bills in the Super Mario 3D World style. Additionally, Bull's-Eye Banzais in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style have extremely subtle differences in their sprites between day and night, with the night ones having one less vertical line of outline pixels behind the domed area.[5]
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
While no actual Bull's-Eye Banzais appear in Mario Kart Tour, the game introduces a red variant to the Bullet Blaster also named the Bull's-Eye Banzai.
