'''Guided Bullet Bills''',<ref name=Brady>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 133.</ref> also known as '''[[Bullet Bill]]s'''<ref name=Portal>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/sunshine/index.html?lang=en English ''Super Mario Sunshine'' entry on the official Mario Portal]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved August 13, 2022. ([https://archive.ph/aHGom Archived] on August 13, 2022, 22:22:41 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> and '''Bullet Bills (Blue)''',<ref name=Portal/> are enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They appear only during the final battle where they are fired from [[Bowser Jr.]]'s ship, and upon descending on [[Mario]]'s level, they start chasing him if they spot him. At first, only two are fired, but as [[Bowser]]'s bathtub is damaged, eight are fired at once.
 
Guided Bullet Bills come in black and blue varieties. The black ones have the same appearance as the normal Bullet Bills in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', but their noses blink red like [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Purple Bullet Bill]]s. The blue ones are shot rarely and one at a time, their noses do not blink, and they will let out a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or a [[Water Bottle]] if [[stomp]]ed on.
 
There are inconsistencies regarding how the Guided Bullet Bills are classified. Japanese sources acknowledge the blue variants but do not differentiate the black ones here from the ones elsewhere,<ref name=Encyclopedia>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'' section, page 99.</ref> contrary to English sources where both colors are considered the same type of Bullet Bill.<ref name=Brady/> The [[Prima Games]] guide calls them '''special Purple Bullet Bills''',<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> which describes their function as a subset of the homing type encountered earlier in the game.
