Banzai Bill (マグナムキラー, Magunamu Kirā, Magnum Killer in Japanese versions) is a character/weapon that is part of the Mushroom Kingdom.
In Super Smash Bros.[]
Banzai Bills appear as golden missiles which are fired by Master Hand, and each Banzai Bill does 5% damage. Master Hand will fire one set of two Bills if above 100 HP and three sets if below.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
A Banzai Bill appears as a hazard in the stage Princess Peach's Castle. Here, Banzai Bill appears from the sky and starts flying towards the castle. Banzai Bill will then land into the castle. The location where Banzai Bill lands is random. Banzai Bill will then start to flash which indicates that he is about to explode. When Banzai Bill explodes, any character in the blast radius will take heavy damage, and be suffer extreme knock-back. Banzai Bill's explosion usually results in a One-hit KO. Any character who touches the Banzai Bill before he explodes will take damage.
A Banzai Bill sometimes appears in the background of the stage Yoshi's Island. The Banzai Bill is depicted with its original sprite from Super Mario World.
Banzai Bills are also represented in the form of a Trophy. In original North American releases, the Banzai Bill trophy erroneously refers to it as a Bullet Bill. In European releases and version 1.01 of North American releases, the trophy correctly refers to them as Banzai Bills. In Japanese versions, it is named "Magnum Killer" (regular Bullet Bills are known only as "Killer" in Japan). The Banzai Bill is acquired as a random drop, regardless of version. All versions of the game incorrectly lists Super Mario Bros. as being the debut of Banzai Bills.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Banzai Bill retains its appearance in the background of Yoshi's Island from Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[]
Banzai Bills are enemies in Smash Run. Most of them chase the player's fighter to try and crash into them, a behavior they do not show in any of the Mario games, but some fly only in a single direction. Even then, homing Banzai Bills eventually speed up and continue in a single direction. If a Banzai Bill is hit hard enough, it can be knocked into the ground. If a Banzai Bill is stuck in a wall or the ground for long enough, it explodes, inflicting heavy damage and knockback if the fighter is within range. Banzai Bills do not release any stat boosts upon exploding.
A Banzai Bill returns in the form of a trophy, and is obtained as a random drop.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[]
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, a Banzai Bill is a random event in Smash Tour, in which one lands on the board and explodes, dropping several stat boosts and launching any Miis within range.
A different trophy of a Banzai Bill appears, although its descriptions are similar to its Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy. the same obtained by clearing a Solo 3-Minute Smash after getting at least 110 KOs while playing as Bowser.
Trophy description[]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
Banzai Bills retain their role as obstacles on the Princess Peach's Castle stage from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Their design was updated, although they keep their rotor-like back ends. Compared to their original appearance, Banzai Bills leave behind a longer lasting explosion.
A Banzai Bill is also featured in the form of an Attack-type, Advanced class spirit, which can be obtained from enhancing a Bullet Bill spirit once it reaches level 99. Equipping the Banzai Bill spirit gives the user the ability to inflict damage by running into their opponents.
