A Bull's-Eye Blaster[1] is a type of Bill Blaster that fires Bull's-Eye Bills. Even though the modern Bull's Eye Bill was introduced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii in that game said enemy was fired from Bill Blasters[2] and as a result in Super Mario Maker the current Bull's-Eye Blasters were still known as Bill Blasters[3], but since Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker they started being distinguished from Bill Blasters and as of Super Mario Maker 2, they received their own name.

History

Super Mario Bros. 3

Missile Bills are not shot in this game by specific Bull's Eye Blasters, but rather by Turtle Cannons. They only appear in World 4-5.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

Red Turtle Cannons capable of firing red Bullet Bills are unused in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island; however, they do appear in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 in the final secret level, Endless World of Yoshis.[4] Like green Turtle Cannons, they are fixed in two directions, unlike yellow Turtle Cannons. Like the game's other Turtle Cannons, they do not have their usual skull icon.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Missile Bills are shot from ordinary Bill Blasters[2], that only appear in World 9-3, are taller constructions in pits and are somewhat obscured by fog (which can be temporarily cleared via Spin Jump).

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

The current Bull's-Eye Blasters appear for the first time in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, where they are red and thus distinguished from Bill Blasters.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World

In Yoshi's Woolly World and its port, Bull's-Eye Blasters appear in Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort. The ones in alcoves only fire in one direction, but the ones hanging on the ceiling point themselves at Yoshi.

Super Mario Maker series

In Super Mario Maker and its port, they appear when the player shakes a Bill Blaster, where they are red once again. If any other enemy or item is placed inside one, it will fire that element indefinitely at a faster speed than normal Bill Blasters do. In all styles except New Super Mario Bros. U, their skull icon gains angry eyes and devil horns, slightly resembling Bowser. They return in similar capacity in Super Mario Maker 2.
