A '''Bull's-Eye Blaster''', also referred to as simply '''Bill Blaster''', is a type of [[Bill Blaster]] that fires [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. Bill Blasters shooting the player-seeking [[Bullet Bill]]s were distinguished from ordinary black ones in varying degrees<ref>「{{ruby|緑|みどり}}と{{ruby|赤|あか}}の{{ruby|砲台|ほうだい}}は{{ruby|固定式|こていしき}}で、{{ruby|黄色|きいろ}}の{{ruby|砲台|ほうだい}}は{{ruby|回転式|かいてんしき}}。{{ruby|赤|あか}}いキラーは ヨッシーを{{ruby|追|お}}いかけ、{{ruby|黄色|きいろ}}いキ ラーはかべに{{ruby|当|あ}}たるとはね{{ruby|返|かえ}}る。{{ruby|砲台|ほうだい}}を{{ruby|倒|たお}}すならアイス{{ruby|攻撃|こうげき}}で。」 ("''Green and red cannons are a fixed type, while yellow cannons are a rotatable type.

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Black [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s that shoot [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They only appear in [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]].

===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
Red Turtle Cannons capable of firing [[Bull's-Eye Bill#Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|red Bullet Bill]]s 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]]. Like green Turtle Cannons, they are fixed in two directions, unlike [[Bouncing Bullet Bill|yellow]] Turtle Cannons. Like the game's other Turtle Cannons, they do not have their usual skull icon. This is the first game to color-code them red.

===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
[[File:NSMBW World 9-3 Screenshot.png|thumb|250px|Bill Blasters from ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'']]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', black Bill Blasters that shoot Missile Bills appear in [[World 9-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-3]]. In this appearance, they are mostly taller constructions in [[pit]]s and are somewhat obscured by fog (which can be temporarily cleared via [[Spin Jump]]).

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Red Bill Blasters appear in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where they appear to be their modern iteration as they are differentiated from black Bill Blasters.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|port]], red Bill Blasters appear in [[Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort]]. The ones in alcoves only fire in one direction, but the ones hanging on the ceiling point themselves at [[Yoshi]]. They have a similar appearance as the red cannons in the previous ''Yoshi'' game.

===''Super Mario Maker'' series===
[[File:SMM-SMB-MissileBillBlaster.png|thumb|left]]
[[File:SMMU Bull's Eye Blaster.png|thumb|150px|A Bull's-Eye Blaster in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' style]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and its [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|port]], they appear when the player shakes a Bill Blaster, where they are red once again. If any other enemy or item is placed inside one, it will fire that element indefinitely at a faster speed than normal Bill Blasters do. In all styles except ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', their skull icon is replaced with a bull icon, a visual pun on their name.

They return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' under their current name. In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style, they shoot [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s. The skull also gains cat ears to show this.
