Banzai Bill sprite from Super Mario World.

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. Melee

In the stage Princess Peach's Castle, 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 K.O.ed. Any character who makes contact with Banzai Bill before he explodes will take damage also. Banzai Bill will also shake the stage up when it appears. Banzai Bill will respawn after it explodes and choose another section of the stage to attack. It is worth noting that the Smart Bomb item in Brawl explodes in a similar fashion, however, it deals significantly less damage.

Banzai Bills also appears occasionally in the background of the stage Yoshi's Island with their original 2D appearance.

Trophy Description

Bullet Bills are shot out of cannons and fly on straight paths. In great numbers they're a nightmare; while Mario can stop most with a single jump, the giant one, Banzai Bill, is much tougher to avoid. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, only Banzai Bills can be seen. They burrow into Princess Peach's castle and then detonate with immense power.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Banzai Bill appears in the background of Yoshi's Island, like in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
