Talk:Bullet Bill

They are alive! Not mechanical.


 * ...Um... Can you prove that? If there's not enough evidence, we can't add anything; PM:TTYD says Bob-ombs have GENDER and we still consider them mechanical.

yeah. Bullet Bill in MPA, those Glitz Pit Bullet Bills, etc.


 * Not that, in-universe, characters are unsure whether Bullet Bill Blasters are alive or not. The same probably applies to Bullet Bills. -- Son of Suns

They will remain under the category of mechanical, until it is proven otherwise.

Well they are two different things.different species are nomrmally on different pages.Bob-omb buddy

Well how did they get tanooki tails? If they did they have to be alive...

Gira (Super Mario Land)
I actually thought that Gira from Super Mario Land is the same as Bullet Bill, just with an untranslated name (like Piranha Plant/Pakkun Flower), but I looked again at the Japanese SML site and noticed that its name is written ギラー (Girā) as opposed to キラー (Kirā=Killer=Bullet Bill). So its Japanese name is really slightly different, should it get its own article again (there is also a difference gameplay-wise, their blasters come out of pipes)? --Grandy02 10:24, 4 March 2009 (EST)


 * Yes, Gira should be separated, but we can leave a brief Super Mario Land section with a "main" link to the Gira page. --

Actually I think they are mechanical, considering that Through out the games, Unlike some living bob-omb Characters (Boberry etc.), There is not a single game where bullet bills talk. User Wariowab

M&S
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games there was a giant Bullet Bill that was the boss of the skeleton and bobsleigh events. Shouldn't we note this in the article? User:Mecha-Boss Unit

Split from Bullet Bill
NO QUORUM 3-0-0

Big Bullet Bill is a character (boss) that is in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, while Bullet Bill is a species. Since they are different, I propose that we split them.

Proposer: Deadline: April 16 2010, 24:00

Split into separate page
 * 1) per all
 * 2) This is a perfectly reasonable proposal.
 * 3) per all

Split and merge into Banzai Bill

Don't split

Comments I think we should merge Big Bullet Bill with Banzai Bill. Can we add that to the proposal?
 * No, because it is a character. If there were multiple Big Bullet Bills racing against you than maybe, but this is a charater/boss.
 * I'm not sure how the number of Big Bullet Bills does with it being different from Banzai Bill.
 * As far as I know, Banzai Bills generally have a grin and no arms, while Big Bullet Bill looks like a normal Bullet Bill, just bigger. --Grandy02 10:44, 3 April 2010 (EDT)
 * normal Bullet Bills used to have grins and no arms.

Whoever put the super smash bros melee trophy as a banzai bill must be warned!


 * It's probably just a minor mistake. That's not what warnings are for.

Displayed artwork
Shouldn't the displayed artwork be the MK7 one? I mean, they both show the Bullet Bill's personality in the same way and besides, the Bob-omb article uses its MK7 artwork. - Holy user in a talk page! (talk) 18:02, 28 September 2012 (EDT)

Trivia
Shouldn't the trivia mention how bullet bills, bob-ombs and torpedo teds are all based on weapons and all have a boy's name in their names?RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!! (talk) 15:29, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
 * Interesting, but Bob-omb's name more likely comes from its stuttering nature. 21:36, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
