'''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 once again make an appearance when [[Dinosaur Land]] after [[Bowser]] takes over it. Though aren't common enemies, but their behavior changes slightly, as some levels feature areas where multiple Bullet Bills fly diagonally from four corners, and sometimes vertically shot Bullet Bills appear, too. They are shot from Bill Blasters, or, in some levels, they are shot from off-screen. ''Super Mario World'' also features the debuts of other subspecies of Bullet Bills such as [[Torpedo Ted]], which are Bullet Bills that are launched from [[Skull Box]]es underwater. The larger [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear for the first time. Additionally, when the [[Special World]] is completed, all of the horizontally fired Bullet Bills turn into [[Pidgit Bill]]s.
Bullet Bills once again make an appearance when [[Dinosaur Land]] is under the tyranny of [[Bowser]]. Though their appearances are scarce, their behavior changes slightly, as some levels feature areas where multiple Bullet Bills fly diagonally from four corners, and sometimes vertically shot bills appear, too. They are shot from Bill Blasters, or, in some levels, they are shot from random locations off-screen. ''Super Mario World'' also features the debuts of other subspecies of Bullet Bills such as [[Torpedo Ted]], which are Bullet Bills that are launched from [[Skull Box]]es underwater. The larger [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear for the first time. Additionally, when the [[Special World]] is completed, all of the horizontally fired Bullet Bills turn into [[Pidgit Bill]]s.

In their first 3D appearance, Bullet Bills are only found in one location in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''; in the level [[Whomp's Fortress]]. After Mario defeats the [[Whomp King]], a [[Bill Blaster]] appears at the top of the fortress. The Bullet Bills shot out home in on Mario and explode upon contact with him. Bullet Bills can not be defeated in this game. If Mario gets hit, he loses three wedges of health. Oddly enough, these Bullet Bills' faces resemble those of a [[Banzai Bill]], but in the remake they look like the Bullet Bills from the other games.

Between ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the appearance of Bullet Bills is greatly altered. The bullet bills here resemble Torpedo Teds. One of the major changes includes the fact that the Bullet Bills in this game are smiling, as opposed to the ones from ''Super Mario 64'', which have an angry expression on their faces. In addition, the Bullet Bills in this game have an overall more robotic appearance, including a metallic exterior and google-eyes. In <i>Super Mario Sunshine</i>, Bullet Bills are fired from [[Cannon]]s manned by [[Monty Mole]]s at different points throughout the game, as well as by [[Bowser Jr.]] during the [[Mecha-Bowser]] boss fight and the final boss battle at the end.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Bullet Bills appear in various levels, and are, as usual, shot out of Bill Blasters. They appear in World 2-Castle, World 5-4, World 6-1, World 7-5, and World 8-1. If the player jumps on them, they are defeated. They also can be defeated by hitting them with a [[Green Shell|Shell]], or using a [[Starman]] or [[Mega Mushroom]], and are again immune to fireballs. Banzai Bills return, and now their [[Banzai Bill Blaster|source]] is confirmed. In World 5-4, they fly out from somewhere off-screen rather than being fired from Bill Blasters.

Bullet Bills reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. After they have been fired, if they spot the player, their eyes will turn red and they will home in on Mario until they hit him, an obstacle or an enemy. This method can be used to break open cages and destroy fences. A gigantics, snifit-like robot named [[Megaleg]] has to be defeated this way. If they hit Mario, he is knocked down for a few seconds and loses a wedge of health. They are one of the most common enemies in the game, appearing in several galaxies. [[Torpedo Ted]]s also appear and can be used the same way as Bullet Bills although they make a specific radar sound in order to tell the player how close they are. [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear on [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], shot from Banzai Bill Blasters, but do not home in on the character.

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. Bullet Bills are affiliated with Bowser's forces and the [[Subspace Army]]. They cannot be stomped on like in the other games. 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 do sometimes home in on the character, and can be temporarily deflected.

Bullet Bills have been confirmed to appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' in two capacities: One as an item, and another as an enemy in the 3DS-exclusive mode, Smash Run. In the former case, once picked up, players turn into a Bullet Bill themselves and attack by ramming into opponents at full speed. The Bullet Bill enemies do not attack, instead slowly flying toward the player and running into them to deal damage.

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 the games ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the player can collect Bullet Bills as [[item]]s. After activating the Bullet Bill, the player's entire kart will transform into a giant Bullet Bill, which will automatically rocket down the track on auto-pilot at very high speeds. The Bullet Bill is totally invincible, which allows the player to knock over any items, any course obstacles and any other drivers in the player's way, similarly to the [[Chain Chomp]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Damaged players by the Bullet Bill will also lose items in their possession. It will only last for a limited time, which increases the farther behind the player is in the race, and can only be received by the racers in 6th-8th place in ''Mario Kart DS'' and ''Mario Kart 7'', and 8th-12th place in ''Mario Kart Wii''.

It has been greatly praised due to its ability to rocket the player around the course, knocking any player it comes across without having to steer. However, this item can be a disadvantage at times. For example, when racing on many of the trickier, narrower courses, the Bullet Bill can occasionally steer the player right up to the edge of the track, just before it wears off.  This can often lead to the player falling into an abyss.

In ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart 8'' Bullet Bills slow down when nearing the end of it's lifespan - which makes it less likely for a player to be thrown off the course.


Players who are under the effects of the [[Mega Mushroom]] can be knocked back by this item.  However, players who are invincible due to a [[Star]] or a [[Boo]], are not affected when a Bullet Bill collides with them. Also, there cannot be two characters with Bullet Bills at one time in a race. However multiple Bullet Bills can appear during the race if got at different times.
