Bill Blasters (キラー大砲, Killer Cannon) are enemies from the Mario series.

Origin[edit]

A portion of World 7-1 in Super Mario Bros., with multiple Bill Blasters.

Bill Blasters made their debut in Super Mario Bros. as common defense emplacements in fortress and castle levels. They are simple black cannons with a white skull mark emblazoned on their sides.

Bill Blasters are known for firing Bullet Bills at the player. Most iterations are immobile, while some others, introduced in later games, can rotate or move up and down. They are known to being invulnerable to attacks; however, in the Mario RPGs, they are enemies that feature below-average HP and sometimes high defense stats. As a result, Mario has to use powerful or piercing attacks in order to damage them at all.

Bill Blasters feature larger variations that can fire Banzai Bills.
