Bill Blasters, originally known as Turtle Cannons and also referred to as Bullet Bill Cannons, simply Cannons, Blasters, or Bullet Bill Launchers, are black cannons that fire Bullet Bills from either side. Bill Blasters are usually used as defense emplacements in fortresses and castles. Some Bill Blasters are entirely black, while others have a design emblazoned on their sides, usually a skull icon. Bill Blasters are usually indestructible, although some role-playing games include them as enemies that can be defeated. Some Bill Blasters briefly expand in size before shooting Bullet Bills, such as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. While Bill Blasters cannot move around, some in more recent games have the ability to rotate, like a turret. Due to their nature, they are usually paired with Bullet Bills as their main attack. Bill Blasters are similar to Burners. The latter emits flames instead of Bullet Bills.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

Turtle Cannons as they appear in Super Mario Bros.

Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia artwork

Turtle Cannons first appear in Super Mario Bros. and return in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, functioning identically between appearances. Bill Blasters are found in locations that are difficult for Mario and Luigi, especially in the latter game, such as on the ground or above the player where they would be hit if the player jumped. They will not fire if the player is directly above one or completely within a sprite box next to one.

In Super Mario Bros., Bill Blasters first appear in World 5-1, but can also be found in World 5-2, World 7-1, World 8-2 and World 8-3. In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Bill Blasters sometimes appear in underwater levels, where in the original, their details are colored green due to having the same palette as the scenery; though they do not fire any Bullet Bills. They are colored normally in the Super Mario All-Stars version.

Super Mario Bros. 3

Turtle Cannons appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. They first appear on Template:World-link along with cannons. They are also invincible. They appear numerous times on all airships, tanks, and boats. Some fire Missile Bills. Horizontal Rocket Engines reuse the top part of a Turtle Cannon.

Super Mario Land

A different form called Pipe Cannons appear in Super Mario Land. Unlike their stationary counterparts, Pipe Cannons move out of Warp Pipes like Piranha Plants and then fire a Bullet Biff before retreating.

Super Mario World

In Super Mario World, Turtle Cannons can be found in the Sunken Ghost Ship and Outrageous. This game also introduces the torpedo tube, which shoots Torpedo Teds.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Turtle Cannons can be seen in some levels of Mario Zone. In this game, they appear more box-shaped, but still fire Bullet Bills at a periodic rate.

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS

A Blaster as it appears in Super Mario 64

A single Blaster appears in Super Mario 64. This Blaster is found on the top of the tower in Whomp's Fortress after the player defeats the Whomp King. It looks drastically different from its previous appearances, more resembling a simple gray box with a hole for launching Bullet Bills rather than an actual cannon. This is the only game in which Mario can force a Blaster to fire; it will do so if he performs a Pound the Ground attack on top of it.

In Super Mario 64 DS, another Blaster appears in Whomp's Fortress in the new area surrounding the fortress, after a large gap, and more can be found in Dire, Dire Docks before the player completes Bowser in the Fire Sea. The ability to force out a Bullet Bill via a Pound the Ground attack has been removed, and Blasters can now be destroyed using a mushroom.

New Super Mario Bros.

In New Super Mario Bros., Bill Blasters return to their original role of being a part of the game's environment, having the same behavior they had in previous 2D games. However, in this game, they can be destroyed by use of a Mega Mushroom. An advanced tower version of a Bill Blaster called the Bill Blaster Turret is introduced. Also, a new variant of Bill Blasters that shoot Banzai Bills first appear in this game, called the Banzai Bill Cannon.

Super Mario Galaxy

Several Bill Blasters in Super Mario Galaxy

A traditional Bill Blaster

In Super Mario Galaxy, Bill Blasters (referred to as Bullet Bill cannons) appear in many of the game's levels. They are often found on planets or other areas where various items are trapped in cages, where Mario must lure a Bullet Bill from the Bill Blaster to the cage or cages in order to access what is inside. Their appearance here is more typical of a cannon and noticeably lacks the familiar skull icon. The Bullet Bills they shoot out will home in on Mario upon becoming aware of his presence. Some Bill Blasters can be destroyed by luring the Bullet Bill back. Others are too far into their base for one to reach.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Bill Blasters as well as Bill Blaster Turrets and Banzai Bill Cannons reappear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and act the same as in New Super Mario Bros. Unlike in New Super Mario Bros., they are again invincible, as the Mega Mushroom is absent from the game. Bill Blasters also briefly expand when shooting Bullet Bills.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Bill Blasters reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and serve the same purpose as in its predecessor. Banzai Bill Cannons appear as well. They have the exact same appearance in the predecessor.

Super Mario 3D Land

Bill Blasters firing Bullet Bills in World 2-5.

Bill Blasters and Bill Blaster Turrets later appear in Super Mario 3D Land and serve the same purpose as the games before. However, they are shown to appear differently, similar to their appearance in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

The Bill Blaster in New Super Mario Bros. 2

Bill Blasters reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, behaving identically as before. Gold Bill Blasters are golden versions of a Bill Blaster that are created by a Gold Ring, and fire Gold Bullet Bills.

New Super Mario Bros. U

Bill Blasters and Bill Blaster Turrets reappear in New Super Mario Bros. U, behaving the same way it did in previous games. This time, Roy Koopa utilizes a cannon in his boss battle. In the game's code, a variant of the blaster that can stretch up and down appears, similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

In Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Bill Blasters appear in various levels, behaving the same as in Super Mario 3D Land. In this game, they resemble their appearances in the first three Paper Mario games, and are also capable of firing Cat Bullet Bills.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2

Mary O. hammering on a Bill Blaster

Bill Blasters reappear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 as the only way to generate Bullet Bills. In Course Maker, their length can be adjusted by grabbing their tip and stretching it up or down. The regular black variants fire Bullet Bills by default, but if another enemy or an item is placed inside one, it will shoot an indefinite amount of them in Mario's direction — except for Coins, of which multiple are shot in three consecutive bursts before they stop appearing. Shaking a Bill Blaster will turn it into a red Bull's-Eye Blaster and make it fire Bull's-Eye Bills. An element can be placed inside a red Bill Blaster, which will shoot such elements much faster than a regular Bill Blaster. A sound effect can be placed on a Bill Blaster of either color to make it generate that sound every time it shoots things out of it.

Although static objects, Bill Blasters are affected by gravity and will fall down if positioned in mid-air or bounce on Springboards continuously if placed atop them. In addition, they will slowly sink into lava if they end up there. They can also be attached to tracks and glide along them.

Bill Blasters can be destroyed by pounding them with a big Stiletto or the smoke clouds it releases.

In Super Mario Maker 2, red Bill Blasters instead shoot Cat Bullet Bills in the Super Mario 3D World style.

Super Mario Odyssey

Bill Blasters are present in Super Mario Odyssey, retaining their Super Mario 3D World look in 3D and their Super Mario Bros. look in 2D sections. They can also shoot visor-wearing Bullet Bills in the Metro Kingdom and Sand Kingdom.

Mario's Time Machine

Two non-functional Turtle Cannons make background appearances aboard Ferdinand Magellan's ship in 1520 in the NES version of Mario's Time Machine.

Yoshi's Island series

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

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its Game Boy Advance version, Turtle Cannons are green, like the Bullet Bills themselves, but act entirely like previous incarnations. Their cannon visibly expands upon preparing to shoot Bullet Bills, then returns to normal after having done so. They can be frozen with use of a blue watermelon, and then shattered by being touched or struck with an egg.

Yoshi's Island DS

Bill Blasters return in Yoshi's Island DS, although this time, like the Bullet Bills themselves, they are colored black like in the Super Mario series. They appear in The Goonie Coast Isn't Clear!, Welcome to Yoshi Tower!, Bessie Bass's Battleship, Return of the Moving Chomp Rock!, Island of Peril, Let There Be Light!, and Superhard Acrobatics!

Yoshi's New Island

Yoshi's New Island

In Yoshi's New Island, Bill Blasters, as well as the Bullet Bills they shoot, return retaining their appearance from the main Super Mario games. There are also Bill Blasters that have a cannon in only one side.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars artwork

Bill Blasters, referred to simply as Blasters, appear as enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They shoot Bullet Bills in and out of battle, which made them both typical enemies as well as part of the environment. When engaged in battle in the original game, they are shown to take aim by moving directly in front of their target, whereas in the remake, they simply pivot to face the target. They are especially weak against lightning magical attacks.

Blasters are used by Booster as defense emplacements in Booster Tower. Occasionally, Blasters shoot a special golden Bullet Bill called a Blazer, capable of instantly knocking out the target.

An upgraded version of the Blaster later appears in Bowser's Keep under the name Big Blaster.

Yoshi's Story

Blasters make an appearance in Yoshi's Story where they look slightly different. Much like previous games, most shoot Bullet Bills forward, though some will shoot them upward.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario

In Paper Mario, three Bill Blasters appear under their current name in Koopa Bros. Fortress right before facing the Koopa Bros. themselves. They are considered separate enemies from the Bullet Bills they launch. They must be destroyed before Mario and his allies can end the battle and progress through the level. In the field, the Bill Blasters fire Bullet Bills at Mario. If hit, Mario and his friends have to fight the Bullet Bills before continuing to the Bill Blasters.

In battle, Bill Blasters cannot directly attack Mario; instead, they fire Bullet Bills, which become independent enemies that attack Mario. A Bill Blaster has an unlimited supply of Bullet Bills; the cannons will continue firing Bullet Bills until defeated. However, they skip every other turn, limiting their rate of shooting Bullet Bills. Jumping attacks are generally ineffective against Bill Blasters, as their hard armor protects against such attacks.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Bill Blasters return in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and are first encountered in the Pirate's Grotto, and appear quite often there as well. They look exactly the same, though more refined with the improved graphics, and their battle strategy was largely unchanged. They still shoot out Bullet Bills to attack for them, but now have a new move, which allows them to shoot out two Bullet Bills instead of one, which they sometimes use if not accompanied by another Bill Blaster. They can also shoot Bullet Bills higher in the air, where they cannot be targeted by ground-based moves such as Mario's Hammer. Unlike in Paper Mario, Bill Blasters shoot Bullet Bills every turn, instead of skipping every other turn.

Also returning is the Bombshell Bill Blaster which fires Bombshell Bills. They are much alike, except for the higher attack, defense, and golden color. These are encountered in the Palace of Shadow.

Super Paper Mario

In Super Paper Mario, Bill Blasters appear exclusively in Chapter 3-1 guarding Bowser's castle. They shoot Bullet Bills like any other Bill Blaster, but these ones will only shoot in the left direction instead of both.

If the player completes the level then comes back later in the game, the Bill Blasters can also be defeated by using Bowser's Fire Breath or very accurately using Luigi's super jump. They can also be defeated by using a Catch Card.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Only two Bill Blasters appear on Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Here, they appear as mere obstacles and cannot be battled. However, they were originally meant to be fought, but were cut from the game.

Paper Mario: Color Splash

One Bill Blaster makes a minor appearance in Paper Mario: Color Splash. It can be found in a secret underground area of the Super Mario Bros. 3-themed level in the Green Energy Plant. Because of this, the Bill Blaster is seen in its sprite-based Super Mario Bros. 3 appearance, and the Bullet Bills it fires use the same style as well. Roy Koopa's Bill Blaster also returns, though he uses it to launch paint.

Mario & Luigi series

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, Bill Blasters appear as enemies in Stardust Fields. Bill Blasters do not appear in the overworld; they only appear in battle alongside Fighter Flies. Bill Blasters attack by shooting their Bullet Bills directly at the brother that is standing in front of them.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

While Bill Blasters do not appear as stand-alone enemies in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Boom Guys and Elite Boom Guys carry one on their heads.

Mario Kart DS

In Mario Kart DS, a single Bill Blaster appears in Airship Fortress firing Bullet Bills from the airship at racers, while other Bill Blasters can be seen on the airship section of the race course.

Itadaki Street DS

In Itadaki Street DS, Bill Blasters are the cannons that appear from the cannon spaces on boards representing the Super Mario franchise.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

SmashWiki article: Bill Blaster

Bill Blasters appear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as enemies in Smash Run. They sit in place, and do not move as they take damage. Unusually, in addition to firing Bullet Bills, they may also fire other enemies, such as Koopa Troopas or Shy Guys.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Bill Blasters return in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker with an appearance and function identical to Super Mario 3D World. The standard Bill Blasters fire normal Bullet Bills, while red Bull's-Eye Blasters fire Bull's-Eye Bills.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, two giant Bill Blasters can be seen at Sherbet Desert: one in the desert area and the other in the snowy area.

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

Bill Blasters return in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, acting the same as in previous games, except this time they are made of wool. If Yoshi throws a yarn ball at a Bill Blaster, it will get tied up and become temporarily deactivated.

The World 6 boss, Knot-Wing the Koopa, launches Bullet Bills and Bull's-Eye Bills from a Bill Blaster on his shell.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Bill Blasters appear in The Super Mario Bros. Movie used by the Koopa Troop just like in the games, with Buzzy Beetles having them on their shells during the Troop's attack on the Snow Kingdom in the beginning of the movie. They are also present on the Koopa Troop's kart vehicles during the Rainbow Road ambush, and two Koopa Troopas fire a Bullet Bill from one upon seeing Mario and Donkey Kong riding a Rocket Barrel left over from the latter's kart to stop the wedding between Bowser and Peach.

Trophy Bill Blaster

Category: Enemy

How to unlock: Random

Usually a big cannon with a skull on it is a clear sign that it's time to flee. Running away isn't an option in the Super Mario series, though. It may be known as the Bill Blaster, but it can occasionally fire Koopas or Shy Guys instead. Take it out before it's out of ammo for more goodies! (American English)

Usually, seeing a cannon with a skull on it would be your sign to run, and that's true in the Mario series as well...but with Bullet Bills speeding towards you, it's harder than it looks! Despite the name, they'll sometimes fire Koopas or Shy Guys in this game, just for variety. Take it down before it's out of ammo to get more goodies! (British English)
