According to early Japanese sources, the player-seeking Bullet Bills initially were a simple color and behavioral variation of the generic Bullet Bill, akin to green and red [[Koopa Troopa]]s. ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' eventually introduced the current '''Search Killer''' (「サーチキラー」), which then became known in English as '''Bull's-Eye Bill'''.

Missile Bills are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In this game, a Missile Bill turns around once if it misses its target, but continues going forward without turning around after missing twice. In the original version, the colors a Missile Bill flashes are dependent on the palette the player character uses, as they cycle between all four palettes currently used on their graphical layer.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/23/25685.png The Spriters Resource]</ref> As such, for instance, playing as [[Frog Mario]] or any of the normal-colored versions of [[Luigi]] causes them to flash green. In the remakes, they consistently flash between black, brown, orange, and red. Missile Bills only appear in [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]].

Mario-seeking Bullet Bills known as '''Purple Bullet Bills'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' at [[Pinna Park]]'s beach. They are purple with a blinking red nose, and are shot from the [[Monty Mole]]'s [[cannon]]. They always home in, meaning that [[Mario]] must dodge out of their way to outrun them, since they often take several seconds to turn around. They are required to break open the baskets on the beach which hold [[Blue Coin]]s. Purple Bullet Bills explode when they make contact with an object, or if Mario squirts water at them. During the final battle, [[Bowser Jr.]] sends a derivative known as [[Guided Bullet Bill]]s.

Player-seeking Bullet Bills known as '''Missile Bills'''<ref name="PRIMAMissile"/> reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Despite having the same name of the red Bullet Bills of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in the PRIMA guide, their Japanese name and appearance indicate that this game is the first one to use the current '''Bull's Eye Bills'''. They resemble normal Bullet Bills, but when one sees Mario, it will make a beeping noise and start flashing red. Here, they have a similar attack pattern to the one they had in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; however, in this game they can change the angle they are flying at and will not stop pursuing the player until they are defeated, or the player has gotten far enough away. They can be defeated the same way as normal Bullet Bills. They only appear in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]], alongside [[Bull's-Eye Banzai|Mario-seeking Banzai Bills incorrectly referred to as King Bill]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', the Missile Bills of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' make a comeback, appearing only during the [[Roy Koopa]] battle at the [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. They are seen being shot out of Roy's Bullet Bill cannon. In this case, though, after some time unsuccessfully chasing Mario, it self-destructs like a [[Flame Chomp]].
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Missile Bills only appear during the [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] battle at [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. When Roy is jumped on at least once, he occasionally fires a Missile Bill out of his Bullet Bill cannon. If these Missile Bills are neither eliminated nor successful in hitting their target within a short amount of time, they eventually detonate. Starting from this game, Missile Bills keep their red coloration instead of being normal Bullet Bills flashing red. A [[Torpedo Ted]] equivalent, the [[Targeting Ted]], homes in on Mario in a slightly different manner, but it also eventually self-destructs when it is onscreen for too long.

Bull's-Eye Bills appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', exclusively in [[Bullet Bill Barrage]]. Bull's-Eye Bills appear from the left of the screen and position themselves behind Mario if they are level with him. After a few seconds they will charge forward, whether or not Mario is in front of them. Like the similar [[Bullet Bill]], they cannot be vaulted over.

Bull's-Eye Bills appear from the left of the screen, then slightly adjust up or down to position themselves behind the player. After a few seconds they will charge forward and off the right side of the screen, whether or not the player is in front of them. While [[Bullet Bill]]s can be [[Vaulting|vaulted]] over, Bull's-Eye Bills cannot.

Red Bullet Bills capable of following the player are [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|unused]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''; however, they do appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' in the final secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. They are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|red Bullet Blaster]]s and appear to make a biting motion as they fly, though this is purely for show. As they fly, they gradually slow down, eventually shrinking away in blue and vanishing with a generic pop. They can be defeated by simply [[stomp]]ing or [[swallow]]ing them; they look like regular Bullet Bills if spat back out, but they fly downwards.
Red Bullet Bills appear in ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' in the final secret level, [[Endless World of Yoshis]]. They are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|red Turtle Cannon]]s and appear to make a biting motion as they fly. Red Bullet Bills slow gradually before eventually shrinking away in light blue and vanishing with a pop. They can be defeated by simply [[stomp]]ing or [[swallow]]ing them; they look like regular Bullet Bills if spat back out, but they fly downwards. This is the first game where Red Bullet Bills can follow players at any angle, due to the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' being restricted to lateral movement, though they still make abrupt u-turns after slowing down when they miss, whereas later games have them keep a smoother trajectory.

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
Bull's-Eye Bills make their non-[[reissue]] debut in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are made out of red wool. They can only be found in [[Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort]], where they are launched from red Bull's-Eye Blasters in the level itself, as well as during the boss fight with [[Knot-Wing the Koopa]], where they are launched from the boss's Bill Blaster in addition to Bullet Bills.

Bull's-Eye Bills first appear under their current name in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. Unlike standard Bullet Bills, Bull's-Eye Bills are fired from red Bull's-Eye Blasters. They behave like in past games and similarly to the [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', homing in on [[Captain Toad]] or [[Toadette]] and chasing them.

Relatives

Bull's-Eye Bills, formerly known as Missile Bills[1][2] or Guided Missile Bills,[3] are heat-seeking variants of Bullet Bills typically fired from Bull's-Eye Blasters. They attack by homing in on the player. Prior to New Super Mario Bros. Wii introducing the current Search Killer (サーチキラー), which eventually became known in English as Bull's-Eye Bill, earlier games gave the homing abilities to normal Bullet Bills or their behavioral or color variations, as various sources treat them as.[4][5][6] In some games, there are also regular Bullet Bills that perform similar functions to Bull's-Eye Bills, as seen in Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Run in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and sometimes in Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Missile Bill

Missile Bills are introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3. In this game, a Missile Bill turns around once if it misses its target, but continues going forward without turning around after missing twice. In the original version, the colors a Missile Bill flashes are dependent on the palette the player character uses, as they cycle between all four palettes currently used on their graphical layer.[7] As such, for instance, playing as Frog Mario or any of the normal-colored versions of Luigi causes them to flash green. In the remakes, they consistently flash between black, brown, orange, and red. Missile Bills only appear in World 4-5.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

World 9-3 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Missile Bills from New Super Mario Bros Wii

Missile Bills appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Despite having the same name of the flashing Bullet Bills of Super Mario Bros. 3 in the Prima Games guide, their Japanese name indicates that this game is the first one to use its modern iteration. They resemble normal Bullet Bills, but when one sees Mario, it will make a beeping noise and start flashing red. Here, they have a similar attack pattern to the one they had in Super Mario Bros. 3; however, in this game, they can change the angle they are flying at and will not stop pursuing the player until they are defeated, or the player has gotten far enough away. They can be defeated the same way as normal Bullet Bills. They only appear in World 9-3, alongside red, Mario-seeking Banzai Bills.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, Missile Bills only appear during the Roy Koopa battle at Rock-Candy Mines. When Roy is jumped on at least once, he occasionally fires a Missile Bill out of his Bullet Bill cannon. If these Missile Bills are neither eliminated nor successful in hitting their target within a short amount of time, they eventually detonate. Starting from this game, Missile Bills keep their red coloration instead of being normal Bullet Bills flashing red. A Torpedo Ted equivalent, the Targeting Ted, homes in on Mario in a slightly different manner, but it also eventually self-destructs when it is onscreen for too long.

Super Mario Maker series[edit]

A Bull's-Eye Bill

Bull's-Eye Bills reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2. As they did not appear in the original Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World, new sprites were created for those two game styles.

While they do operate similar to their appearances in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Bull's-Eye Bills in these games do not turn as sharply, and they will only chase after Mario for a limited time period, instead of relentlessly pursuing him.

In Super Mario Maker 2, they are replaced by Cat Bullet Bills in the Super Mario 3D World game style.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Bull's-Eye Bills appear in Super Mario Run, exclusively in Bullet Bill Barrage. Bull's-Eye Bills appear from the left of the screen, then slightly adjust up or down to position themselves behind the player. After a few seconds they will charge forward and off the right side of the screen, whether or not the player is in front of them. While Bullet Bills can be vaulted over, Bull's-Eye Bills cannot.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

Although no normal Bull's-Eye Bills appear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, a new variant consisting of multiple segments and dorsal fins does.

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Unused red Bullet Bill from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (used in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3)

Red Bullet Bills appear in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 in the final secret level, Endless World of Yoshis. They are fired from red Turtle Cannons and appear to make a biting motion as they fly. Red Bullet Bills slow gradually before eventually shrinking away in light blue and vanishing with a pop. They can be defeated by simply stomping or swallowing them; they look like regular Bullet Bills if spat back out, but they fly downwards. This is the first game where Red Bullet Bills can follow players at any angle, due to the ones in Super Mario Bros. 3 being restricted to lateral movement, though they still make abrupt u-turns after slowing down when they miss, whereas later games have them keep a smoother trajectory.

Mario Party 9[edit]

Missile Bills from New Super Mario Bros. Wii make a comeback in Mario Party 9 in the minigame, Billistics, where they appear alongside Bullet Bills. In this game, Missile Bills make beeping radar noises. This is a way to tell if a Missile Bill is coming. Like in other appearances, Missile Bills will home in on the player, but when a Missile Bill misses, it will not turn around, similar to Super Mario Bros. 3 when a Missile Bill misses twice.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

Bull's-Eye Bill

Bull's-Eye Bills first appear under their current name in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and reappear in its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports. Unlike standard Bullet Bills, Bull's-Eye Bills are fired from red Bill Blasters. They behave like in past games and similarly to the Cat Bullet Bills in Super Mario 3D World, homing in on Captain Toad or Toadette and chasing them.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

Bull's-Eye Bills make their non-reissue debut in the Yoshi franchise in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They are made out of red wool which can be turned into yarn balls if Yoshi eats them. They can only be found in Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort, where they are launched from red Bill Blasters in the level itself, as well as during the boss fight with Knot-Wing the Koopa, where they are launched from the boss's Bill Blaster in addition to Bullet Bills.

Unused appearances[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]

Though they appear in the Game Boy Advance version, Red Bullet Bills capable of following the player went unused in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

  • Notebook bio: "A friend of Bullet Bill, this foe will try to seek you out from behind. You can jump over it with careful timing."
