In the 1.0 and 1.01 versions of ''Melee'', the Banzai Bill trophy is named "Bullet Bill", and says "In Super Smash Bros. Melee, all Bullet Bills are extra large" instead of naming Banzai Bills at all; in reality, [[Bullet Bill]]s are similar-looking but different enemies. In the 1.02 NTSC and PAL version, Banzai Bills are named. The game it is listed as first appearing in is also that of the Bullet Bill (''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''), however Banzai Bills first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''—this was not corrected in later versions.

Origin[edit]

Banzai Bill sprite from Super Mario World. Captured by User:Reboot.
Sprite from Super Mario World.

Banzai Bills first debuted in Super Mario World as recurring enemies, and has become recurring enemies in later Mario games. They are larger versions of Bullet Bills with a shark-tooth smile and lack of white arms and hands.

In their earlier appearances, Banzai Bills are fired from offscreen and move towards the player in a straight line, unlike how Bullet Bills are shot from Bill Blasters. In later games, however, they are shot from large cannons. Similar to the Bullet bills, they can be easily defeated by jumping on them.

In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

As an assist[edit]

In Super Smash Bros., golden Banzai Bills appear as part of Master Hand's Finger Bullet move, which deals 5% damage each. If Master Hand's HP is 100 or above, he will fire one set of Banzai Bills, if his HP is below 100 he will fire three sets.
