Bill Blaster: Difference between revisions

===''Super Mario'' series===

====''Super Mario Bros.''====

Bill Blasters first appear in World 5-1 in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they were placed throughout the Mushroom Kingdom during Bowser's initial invasion. They are also found in World 5-2, World 7-1, World 8-2 and World 8-3. They were put in locations that were difficult for the Bros. to travel through, such as on the ground or above the player, so they would be hit if they jumped.  They will not fire if the player is touching them.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====

Bill Blasters appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They first appear on [[Larry]]'s [[Airship]] along with [[Cannon]]s. They are also invincible. They appear numerous times on all airships, tanks, and boats.  Some fire [[Missile Bill]]s.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

Bill Blaster appeared during the events of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. These Bill Blasters looked drastically different than in their earlier incarnations, more resembling a simple gray box with a hole for launching Bullet Bills rather than an actual cannon. They only appeared in [[Whomp's Fortress]] after the defeat of the [[Whomp King]]. This is the only game in which Mario can force a Bill Blaster to fire; it will do so if he performs a [[Ground Pound]] on top of one. In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] remake, Bill Blasters can also be found in Whomp's Fortress in the new area surrounding the fortress, after a large gap, and in [[Dire, Dire Docks]] after the first mission. They may also be destroyed by using [[Super Mushroom]].

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros]]'', Bill Blasters returned to their original role of being a part of the game's environment, having the same behavior they have always had. However, this time around, they can finally be destroyed by use of a [[Mega Mushroom]].  A robot version of a Bill Blaster appears in World 6-1 that has two or three cannons that shoot in different directions.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Bill Blasters 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 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. The robotic Bill Blasters that have two or three cannons and shoot in different directions also reappear.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====

Bill Blasters later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and serve the same purpose as the games before. However they are shown to appear differently such as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====

Bill Blasters reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and act the same as in its predecessors.

}}

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' Bill Blasters act the same as they did in the ''Paper Mario'' series. Mario and Luigi must jump on the Bill Blasters to eliminate them before a battle can end. The only difference to these Bill Blasters are that they shoot their Bullet Bills directly at the brother that is standing in front of them.
