In ''[[Nintendo Power]]''{{'}}s ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic, a Bullet Bill makes a relatively small appearance; after accidentally activating a Turtle Cannon after knocking Luigi off it, Mario is blasted by a Bullet Bill, which he ends-up riding straight into the Koopaling's Tower, where he is captured by Bowser's forces.

Bullet Bills are an enemy in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. They are present in a few levels. They come at [[Mario]] head on and are shot down with one hit from the [[Super Scope]]. The Turtle Cannons are not visible, the bill's come from somewhere off screen. In this game the Bills come at the player head on, a perspective rarely seen of them.

Bullet Bills return in the sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', where they were changed to black to be consistent with their ''Super Mario'' appearance. Bullet Bills also return ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', performing the same actions as in previous ''Yoshi's Island'' games and retaining their design from games in the ''Super Mario'' series, similarly to ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', there is an item called [[Bullet Candy]] that appears only in [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. It transforms the player's bottom half into the end of a Bullet Bill and allows them to hit three [[Dice Block]]s (similar to [[Thrice Candy]]). For every opponent the player runs in to, one Star is stolen from them.
