'''Bullet Bills''' are anthropomorphic, bullet-like projectiles with arms in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, acting as common enemies. They are horizontally shot out of [[Bill Blaster]]s, coupled with a firing sound effect to indicate their prescence, and fly in a straight line, going through walls. Some Bullet Bills additionally approach from off-screen without the prescence of a Bill Blaster, though a firing sound effect is still heard. Bullet Bills are immune to fireballs; in most games, Bullet Bills can be defeated by jumping on them. Ever since ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', some Bullet Bills have the ability to home in on Mario as a missile, similar to [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s. In some series, mostly in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Bullet Bills have been portrayed as items, either as projectiles themselves or are used to take advantage of their speed by either riding on them or transforming into one. While they have been primarily portrayed as obstacles, some games depict them as individual characters.

''[[Super Mario World]]'' introduces Bullet Bills that are fired diagonally from four corners and vertically shot Bullet Bills. Their appearance is near-identical to that of the previous games. Bullet Bills are first encountered in [[Vanilla Dome 4]] where they are fired off-screen. In [[Cheese Bridge Area]], they are encountered in a zone led from a Warp Pipe. Bullet Bills emitted from Turtle Cannons are first encountered in [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], in addition to the only underwater level that features Bullet Bills. In the [[Special Zone]], [[Outrageous]] prominently features many Turtle Canons that emit Bullet Bills. ''Super Mario World'' also features the debuts of derived Bullet Bill species such as [[Torpedo Ted]], which are Bullet Bills that are launched from [[Torpedo Base]]s underwater. The larger [[Banzai Bill]]s also appear for the first time and appear before regular Bullet Bills. Additionally, when the [[Special Zone]] is completed, horizontal-moving Bullet Bills turn into '''Pidgit Bills''', which function identically but look like flying [[Pidgit]]s. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', vertically and diagonally-fired Bullet Bills are also changed to this design, and they flap their wings rather than maintain a static image like ordinary Bullet Bills.

Bullet Bills reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as enemies. However, they are not standalone enemies, and can only come out of Bill Blasters. [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s also reappear, and they are fired from [[Bull's-Eye Blaster]]s.

Bullet Bills return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''; in addition, the game introduces some new variants of Bullet Bill including [[Missile Meg]]s, which bear a vicious grimace and a more elongated shape resembling a missile and can be stood upon; [[Seeker Bullet Bill]]s, which stick onto surfaces and fly towards the players on contact; and [[Renketsu Search Killer]]s, variants of Bull's-Eye Bills consisting of multiple segments and dorsal fins. These new variants appear prominently in [[Castle Bowser]] levels.

Bullet Bills appear in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''{{'}}s Match Race, where they act as additional obstacles in all Mario Circuit courses, Donut Plains courses (excluding [[SNES Donut Plains 3|Donut Plains 3]]) and Bowser Castle courses. They bounce back and forth between two walls, and racers that come into contact with them spin out and cause it to bounce off the screen. They only appear from the front, similar to in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''.

Bullet Bills reappear as an item in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They can only be received by players in 8th place or lower in this game. The best chance of getting this item is in 12th place, with a 25 percent (10 out of 40) chance of getting it in said position. They behave the same way as they do in ''Mario Kart DS''. Players under the effects of a [[Mega Mushroom]] can be knocked back by this item. It is one of six items wherein only one can be in play at a time (the other five being the [[Thunder Cloud]], [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], [[Blooper]], [[POW Block]], and [[Lightning]]). Once a Bullet Bill is used, another Bullet Bill cannot be obtained until the current one is exhausted.

Bullet Bills reappear as an item in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', behaving similarly to the way they do in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In addition, the Bullet Bill now slows down when it is about to expire, thus reducing the likelihood of players falling off the course if it expires at an awkward location on the track. The warning sound from ''Mario Kart Wii'' can be heard when a Bullet Bill appears on the Touch Screen. Like ''Mario Kart DS'', Bullet Bills in this game can only be received by players in 6th place or lower.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
Bullet Bills are enemies in a few levels of ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. 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.

In the PC release of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'', Bullet Bills appear if [[Mario]] makes a mistake when setting the [[Timulator]]'s date.

Mario loses one of his caught eggs if he is hit by a Bullet Bill, and he can dodge them by walking towards them, causing him to automatically jump over them.

Hidden within the data of the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' is an unused Bullet Bill which would've functioned similar to the [[Goomba]]s, [[Blooper]]s, [[Boo]]s, and [[Piranha Plant]]s in both that game and the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Yoshi_(Game_Boy) Yoshi (Game Boy) - The Cutting Room Floor)]. ''TCRF''. Retrieved October 20, 2021.</ref> It is fully functional, though it turns into garbage graphics when it settles on a plate.
Bullet Bills appear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they are colored green instead of black, and feature facial expressions as well. This game also introduces [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]]s, which bounce and ricochet off walls after being fired. The [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]] also adds [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]]s that home in on Yoshi while biting upon being shot out of their cannons. Any of the Bullet Bills in this game can be defeated by the way most enemies can be defeated. If Yoshi catches a Bullet Bill with his tongue, it can be spit out and flies away from Yoshi like it has been shot out of a cannon, or Yoshi can eat one to produce an egg.

Bullet Bills return in the sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', where they were changed to black to be consistent with their appearance in ''Super Mario'' games. Bullet Bills also return in ''[[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, like with ''Yoshi's Island DS''.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Apprentice (Snifit)|Apprentice]]s, [[Snifster]]s, [[Bill Blaster|Blaster]]s, and [[Big Blaster]]s use Bullet Bills as a way to attack. Usually, touching one in the overworld prompts a battle with Blasters or Big Blasters, though a room in the [[Sunken Ship]] has them shot by normal [[cannon]]s and simply push Mario to a lower floor. This game also introduces [[Blazer]]s, an alternate variety of Bullet Bills, which are used by Blasters and Big Blasters to defeat a party member in one hit and cannot be blocked. [[Smithy]] uses a similar variety called [[Magnum]]s.

Bullet Bills, along with Bill Blasters, make an appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', adopting a knitted appearance rather than the usual metallic look. A new type of Bullet Bill known as [[Woollet Bill]]s also appear. While the artwork depicts them nearly identical to their ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' appearance, they take their main series design in-game.
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Bullet Bills make an appearance in the Modern mode of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Their role is the same in both games, as they attempt to stop [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] as he attempts to free his father. Additionally, in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'', Bullet Bills appear in the Modern version of ''[[Fire Attack]]'', where they attempt to destroy a statue belonging to [[Wario]].

Normal Bullet Bills reappear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], being shot out by Bill Blasters shortly before the [[Koopa Bros.]] are fought. They attack by ramming into Mario, destroying themselves in the process.
 
Bullet Bills are not hard to defeat at all, however, if a Bullet Bill bumps into Mario on the overworld, it makes the [[First Strike]] on him.
 
Gold Bullet Bills known as [[Bombshell Bill]]s are also introduced in ''Paper Mario'' and are shot from [[B. Bill Blaster]]s. They are found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. These attack the same way as regular Bullet Bills, but they have more HP, do more damage, and have 1 defense.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Bullet Bills appear as enemies in the [[Pirate's Grotto]], where they are once again shot by [[Bill Blaster]]s. Bombshell Bills and their Blasters also appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]]. Bullet Bills home in on Mario to damage him, destroying themselves by doing so. Because of this, they also die if they miss or are [[Superguard]]ed.

Bullet Bills first appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where one of [[smashwiki:Master Hand|Master Hand]]'s attacks is to fire pairs of Bullet Bills from his fingers, though later games replace them with regular bullets. The Bullet Bills shot by Master Hand are gold and resemble their design in the early ''Yoshi'' platformers.


====''Super Paper Mario''====
''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' game where Bullet Bills do not appear. However, the [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of the Banzai Bill enemy from [[Princess Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Princess Peach's Castle]] erroneously identifies it as "Bullet Bill" when the language is set to English. This was fixed in later NTSC revisions and the PAL version to match the Japanese text.
Bullet Bills only appear once in [[The Bitlands]] at [[Bowser]]'s castle in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. There are two Bill Blasters mounted on each of the fortresses that continuously shoot them—however, if the player returns to the chapter after completing it, there is only one; the other is mounted on the fortress that gets destroyed. A simple stomp destroys them. The player can also use [[Thoreau]] to pick up the Bullet Bill and throw it at the Bill Blaster.
[[File:Bullet Bill SSB4 3DS.jpg|thumb|left|The Bullet Bill enemy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'']]
 
Bullet Bills have appeared in a few of the series' single-player campaigns. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bullet Bills are enemies in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], where they are affiliated with Bowser's forces and the [[smashwiki:Subspace Army|Subspace Army]]. Here, Bullet Bills launch straight from right to left, like with most of their appearances in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, although they appear larger than in most of their other appearances and cannot be stomped on. Bullet Bills do sometimes home in on the character, similarly to [[Bull's-Eye Bill]]s, and can be temporarily deflected. In a cutscene, silver Bullet Bills are seen pursuing [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Donkey Kong]], but explode after being defeated by the [[Kong]]s' attacks. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Bullet Bills are an enemy in the [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode, where they slowly fly toward the player to try and hit them and inflict damage.
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:SSB4 WiiU BulletBill Item.jpg|thumb|The Bullet Bill item in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Like with the previous game, Bullet Bills only appear in one level, [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]], in World 6 in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. In this level, there are two Bill Blasters mounted at the platforms on the airship's exterior. However, unlike previous iterations, they cannot be battled; instead, they fly at Mario and damage him upon contact. They can be defeated by hammering them or jumping on them. Touching a Bullet Bill causes Mario to lose 2 [[Heart Point|HP]]. They are one of the few enemies to have a similar appearance to the first three ''Paper Mario'' games. They were originally able to be battled, as evidenced by the text dump.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_Sticker_Star#Enemies Paper Mario: Sticker Star § Enemies]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved November 12, 2018.</ref>
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Bullet Bills are also featured as an item. When a player picks up a Bullet Bill, they attack by ramming into opponents at full speed.

Normal Bullet Bills reappear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' in the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]], being shot out by Bill Blasters shortly before the [[Koopa Bros.]] are fought. They attack by ramming into Mario, destroying themselves in the process. If a Bullet Bill bumps into Mario on the overworld, it makes the [[First Strike]] on him.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', one of [[Master Hand]]'s attacks is to fire pairs of Bullet Bills from his fingers. They are gold and resemble their design in the early ''Yoshi'' platformers. In later games, Master Hand shoots generic bullets for this attack.
 
Gold Bullet Bills known as [[Bombshell Bill]]s are also introduced in ''Paper Mario'' and are shot from [[B. Bill Blaster]]s. They are found in [[Bowser's Castle]]. These attack the same way as regular Bullet Bills, but they have more HP, do more damage, and have 1 defense.

Bullet Bills only appear once in [[The Bitlands]] at [[Bowser]]'s castle in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. There are two Bill Blasters mounted on each of the fortresses that continuously shoot them—however, if the player returns to the chapter after completing it, there is only one; the other is mounted on the fortress that gets destroyed. A simple stomp destroys them. The player can also use [[Thoreau]] to pick up the Bullet Bill and throw it at the Bill Blaster.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Bullet Bills appear in a few stages of the Subspace Emissary, the adventure mode. They are seen flying straight from right to left, as they traditionally did in Mario platformers. Their size has been increased as well. Bullet Bills are affiliated with Bowser's forces and the [[Subspace Army]]. They cannot be stomped on like in the other games. In a cutscene, silver Bullet Bills are seen pursuing [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Donkey Kong]], which explode after being defeated by the Kongs' attacks. Bullet Bills do sometimes home in on the character, and can be temporarily deflected.

However, unlike previous iterations, they cannot be battled; instead, they fly at Mario and damage him upon contact. They can be defeated by hammering them or jumping on them. Touching a Bullet Bill causes Mario to lose 2 [[Heart Point|HP]]. They were originally able to be battled, as evidenced by the text dump.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_Sticker_Star#Enemies Paper Mario: Sticker Star § Enemies]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''.

Players explode if they hit a solid wall, including ceilings and floors. The resulting explosion deals even further damage to players and has a blast radius. In Smash Run, the Bullet Bill enemies attack by slowly flying toward the player and running into them to deal damage. Bullet Bills appear as an enemy in an event that deals with defeating as much enemies as players can. Here, they do not home into an opponent.

==General information==
===Physical appearance and traits===
Bullet Bills are black anthropomorphic {{wp|missile}}-like creatures. They have eyes with black pupils/irises and engines at their backsides, thus allowing them to travel in the air. In most games, they can be defeated by simply [[jump]]ing on them, though other games make them more resilient. Like other enemies, Bullet Bills have had varying appearances. In the earlier ''Super Mario'' games, Bullet Bills had a slightly brown hue, though this was due to color limitations. Bullet Bills were inspired by shark mouth {{wp|nose art}} on fighter planes<ref>[https://www.ndw.jp/mario-220913-2/ "Shigeru Miyamoto on the origin of the names of Mario and his friends"]. ''[[Nintendo DREAM]]''. February 2010 volume. Retrieved April 22, 2023.</ref> and older artwork shows them with both arms and mouths, which are depicted variously in early sprites and models. To date, they appear with both arms and a visible mouth in the Game & Watch ''Super Mario Bros.'', the DIC Entertainment cartoons, ''Super Mario Bros. Print World'', the PC release of ''Mario's Time Machine'', ''Yoshi's Safari'', ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. In ''Super Mario Kart'', ''Super Mario 64'', and ''Yoshi's Story'', they lack arms but have an open mouth with sharp teeth and an angry expression, resembling [[Banzai Bill]]s. In ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Bullet Bills display a grin instead, as well as a green color scheme in the second of these. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', they have a slimmer shape in the vein of [[Torpedo Ted]]s, in addition to having a smile, fuller eyes, and rocket-like fins in the back. In the ''Nintendo Comics System'' and ''Mario Party Advance'', Bullet Bills are shown to be sentient and possess the ability to speak.
Bullet Bills are black anthropomorphic {{wp|missile}}-like creatures. They have eyes with black pupils/irises and engines at their backsides, thus allowing them to travel in the air. In most games, they can be defeated by simply [[jump]]ing on them, though other games make them more resilient. Like other enemies, Bullet Bills have had varying appearances. In the earlier ''Super Mario'' games, Bullet Bills had a slightly brown hue, though this was due to color limitations. Bullet Bills were inspired by shark mouth {{wp|nose art}} on fighter planes<ref>[https://www.ndw.jp/mario-220913-2/ "Shigeru Miyamoto on the origin of the names of Mario and his friends"]. ''[[Nintendo DREAM]]''. February 2010 volume. Retrieved April 22, 2023.</ref> and older artwork shows them with both arms and mouths, which are depicted variously in early sprites and models. To date, they appear with both arms and a visible mouth in the Game & Watch ''Super Mario Bros.'', the DIC Entertainment cartoons, ''Super Mario Bros. Print World'', the PC release of ''Mario's Time Machine'', ''Yoshi's Safari'', ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', and ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. In ''Super Mario Kart'', ''Super Mario 64'', and ''Yoshi's Story'', they lack arms but have an open mouth with sharp teeth and an angry expression, resembling [[Banzai Bill]]s. In ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and ''Yoshi's Island DS'', Bullet Bills display a grin instead, as well as a green color scheme in the second of these.
