'''Bombshell Bills''' are golden relatives of the [[Bullet Bill]]s fired by [[B. Bill Blaster]]s. Bombshell Bills are much stronger than Bullet Bills and are positioned so as to guard extremely important areas.


Like a Bullet Bill, touching a Bombshell Bill outside battle will cause Mario to get hit by the [[First Strike]].

===''Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Bombshell Bills appear in [[Bowser's Castle]] and are a dark yellow. They have low health but high attack power and are spawned once per turn by each B. Bill Blaster present. While strong, they are highly susceptible to status effects such as [[Dizzy]] and [[Tiny (status effect)|shrink]], as well as moves such as [[Air Lift]] and [[Hurricane]] that can remove them from battle immediately. Like the game's normal Bullet Bills, they are instantly defeated after they attack, even if they miss or are guarded against.


In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the attacks [[Blazer]] (used by [[Blaster (enemy)|Blaster]] and [[Big Bertha (Blaster)|Big Bertha]]) and [[Magnum]] (used exclusively by [[Smithy]] in his tank form) involve the firing of a golden Bullet Bill similar in appearance to Bombshell Bills.
Bombshell Bill's [[Tattle]] states that their explosions get bigger as their HP gets lower, which implies they do more damage the less HP they have, even though this is not the case.


A gold-colored Bullet Bill appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''; however it is not necessarily related to the Bombshell Bills in the ''Paper Mario'' games. This type was identical to normal Bullet Bills, except for the fact that it left eight [[coin]]s when defeated instead of two, and the great amount of damage they cause.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bombshell Bills appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and are a much brighter yellow. They are still highly susceptible to being removed from battle, this time using [[Flurrie]]'s [[Gale Force]], as well as several status effects, but they now have higher defense. [[Superguard]]ing can now also be used to defeat them instantly when they attack.

Bombshell Bills are golden relatives of the Bullet Bills fired by B. Bill Blasters. Bombshell Bills are much stronger than Bullet Bills and are positioned so as to guard extremely important areas.

History[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

In Paper Mario, Bombshell Bills appear in Bowser's Castle and are a dark yellow. They have low health but high attack power and are spawned once per turn by each B. Bill Blaster present. While strong, they are highly susceptible to status effects such as Dizzy and shrink, as well as moves such as Air Lift and Hurricane that can remove them from battle immediately. Like the game's normal Bullet Bills, they are instantly defeated after they attack, even if they miss or are guarded against.

Bombshell Bill's Tattle states that their explosions get bigger as their HP gets lower, which implies they do more damage the less HP they have, even though this is not the case.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Bombshell Bills appear in the Palace of Shadow and are a much brighter yellow. They are still highly susceptible to being removed from battle, this time using Flurrie's Gale Force, as well as several status effects, but they now have higher defense. Superguarding can now also be used to defeat them instantly when they attack.
