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.

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 Banzai Bills return as course elements in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', replacing Bull's-Eye Banzais (written as a form of Bull's-Eye Banzai despite still being announced as Banzai Bill), but cannot be set to fire from the background, unlike their counterparts.

Cat Banzai Bills, or Cat Bomber Bills,[1] are a type of Banzai Bill under the effects of a Super Bell. Their lower half is white, reminiscent of a tuxedo cat. Cat Banzai 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 Banzai 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 Banzai Bills make their first and only appearance in The Bullet Bill Express of World 3, earlier than Banzai Bills, which debut in Mystery House Mad Dash of World 4.

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