Bull's-Eye Banzais are the red heat-seeking variants of Banzai Bills and a larger variety of Bull's-Eye Bills. They attack by homing in on the player. Bull's-Eye Banzais were originally referred to as King Bills[1] like the other large versions of the Bullet Bills, such as Banzai Bills[2] and the actual King Bills.[3]
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
King Bills, also referred to as Bull's-Eye Bomber Bills,[4] only appear in World 9-3 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unlike Missile Bills, they only have a limited homing ability where they will track their target's vertical position and then continue forward once they reach that height. Their animation is very limited as well, always maintaining a horizontal position and never turning to point at their target.
The player can defeat it by simply jumping on its head, or by running into it with a Star. Also, a King Bill cannot be frozen by an ice ball; it will break the ice and release itself when the ice ball reaches it. Likewise, POW Blocks are useless against them.
King Bills are never seen being fired from a Banzai Bill Cannon; however, an unfinished setting exists suggesting some cannons would have fired them.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Although they do not appear in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, another Banzai Bill variant, the Cat Banzai Bill, behaves similarly.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Bull's-Eye Banzais appear under their current name in Super Mario Maker 2. Unlike previously, they can move a full 360 degrees to track players like the Bull's-Eye Bill, and the marks on their eyes are red, like the normal Banzai Bill, instead of black. In a vein similar to Banzai Bills, Bull's-Eye Banzais also receive new designs for all of the present game styles, consisting of a solid red coloration of the original designs. They are replaced by Cat Banzai Bills in the Super Mario 3D World style. Additionally, Bull's-Eye Banzais in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style have extremely subtle differences in their sprites between day and night, with the night ones having one less vertical line of outline pixels behind the domed area.[5]
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
While no actual Bull's-Eye Banzais appear in Mario Kart Tour, the game introduces a red variant to the Bullet Blaster also named the Bull's-Eye Banzai.
