The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Not to be confused with Bill Blaster.

The Bill Gun is Roy Koopa's signature weapon in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and Paper Mario: Color Splash, replacing Roy's magic wand from the other Super Mario games. It is a longer, bazooka-like version of the Bill Blaster cannon, and when Roy fires a Bullet Bill from it, the force from it pushes him backwards a small distance and prevents him from moving, leaving him vulnerable to jumps. In the New Super Mario Bros. games, it can also fire Missile Bills, and he can also Ground Pound to fire Bullet Bills in both directions. Unlike previous battles, his Ground Pound does not stun characters on the ground.

When Roy is hit, he lets go of the gun but it still stays in his hand. The gun "travels" with him in the same direction as him in his defeat animation despite having his hands open and him not holding it.

In Paper Mario: Color Splash, Roy transforms his magic wand into a Bill Gun, which he uses to launch Mario's stolen paint at him. When the Washing Machine Thing Card is used after Roy darkens the room with black paint, the Bill Gun is destroyed.
