'''Bullet Bills''' are bullet-like projectiles with menacing looks and arms that appear in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series. They are shot out of [[Bill Blaster]]s, and are usually under Bowser's control, acting as enemies of [[Mario]] since their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. Ever since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Bullet Bills have had the ability to home in on Mario, also like a missile. These enemies can be found throughout many of the classic ''Mario'' games and in newer games, where they have increasingly been items, mostly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Other games depict them as sentient being with emotions, and some talk in the cartoons.

Bullet Bills are commonly found in the [[Mario Zone]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Bullet Bills act much like the previous Bullet Bills in other games. They fly in a straight direction and are shot by Bill Blasters. Mario can get rid of them by jumping on them or just dodging them, letting them fly off-screen. [[Torpedo Ted]]s also make their second appearance in this game.

Normal Bullet Bills are in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' when, once again, Bowser kidnaps Peach. These attack by ramming into Mario, defeating themselves but causing a lot of damage to Mario. There is an infinite supply shot from [[Bill Blaster]]s. They can be found in the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], right before the [[Koopa Bros.]] were fought.

Bullet Bills are not hard to defeat at all however if a Bullet Bill should bump into Mario, that Bullet Bill will make the [[First Strike]].


Gold Bullet Bills known as [[Bombshell Bill]]s are also introduced in ''Paper Mario'' and are shot from [[Bombshell Bill Blaster]]s. They are found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. These attack the same way as the Bullet Bills from this game, but have more HP, do more damage, and have 1 defense.

Like with the previous game, Bullet Bills only appear in one level , [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]], in World 6. In this level, there are two Bullet Bill Blasters mounted at the platforms on the airship's exterior. However, unlike previous iterations, they cannot be battled; instead, they fly at Mario and damage him upon contact. They can be defeated by hammering them or jumping on them.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bullet Bills appear in a few stages of ''The Subspace Emissary'', the adventure mode. They are seen flying straight from right to left, as they traditionally did in Mario platformers. Their size has been increased as well.

In a cutscene, silver Bullet Bills are seen pursuing [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Donkey Kong]], which explode after being defeated by the Kongs' attacks.

Bullet Bills appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' being shot out of Bill Blasters resembling the Monty Mole's tanks from ''Super Mario Sunshine'' atop towers. They land into the water but are purely for aesthetic purposes. In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Bullet Bills can be used as item shots; they increase the player's maximum driving distance and also cause the ball to travel in a straight line, ignoring wind and player stats.
