'''Guided Bullet Bills'''<ref name=Brady>Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide. Page 133.</ref> are a type of [[Bullet Bill]] that appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They only appear during the final battle where they are fired from [[Bowser Jr.]]'s ship, and upon descending on [[Mario]]'s level start chasing him if they spot him. At first only two are fired, but as [[Bowser]]'s bathtub is damaged, eight are fired at once.
 
Guided Bullet Bills come in black and blue varieties. The black ones have the same appearance as the normal Bullet Bills in ''Super Mario Sunshine'', but as the final battle progresses their noses blink like [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Purple Bullet Bill]]s. The blue ones are shot rarely and one at a time, their noses do not blink, and will let out a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or a [[Water Bottle]] if [[stomp]]ed on.
 
There are inconsistencies regarding how the Guided Bullet Bills are classified. Japanese sources acknowledge the blue variant but not the black one,<ref name=Encyclopedia>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'' section, page 99.</ref> contrary to English sources where both colors are considered the same type of Bullet Bill.<ref name=Brady/> The [[Prima Games]] guide calls them '''special Purple Bullet Bills''',<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 19.</ref> which describes their function as a subset of the homing type earlier in the game.
