Banzai Bill

Banzai Bill is a Gizmo in Super Mario Maker 2. It takes the shape and look of a Bullet Bill but at a much bigger size. Banzai Bill works similar to a bullet bill but does not have its own launcher. It is able to be set to come from any cardinal direction, and does not interact with anything on its path with the exception of the player.

It contains a red variant that gives it the ability to home, known as the Bull's Eye Banzai (or Cat Banzai in the Game Style).

This course part has unique behaviors and interactions in the Game Style.

This course part is available in all Game Styles.

Super Mario Maker 2 (v1.0)

 * Added to the game.

Origins
Banzai Bill made its debut in the launch title;Super Mario World for the SNES, most notably in "Yoshi's Island 1", one of the first levels in the game.



General Behavior
Banzai Bills will always head in the direction of where its orientation is set. They will not interact with anything in their path and will bypass through all solid terrain.

Bull's Eye Banzai/Cat Banzai
Works similar to a standard one but will slowly change their course of direction in mid-air to target the player. Otherwise they have the same vulnerabilities as any other Banzai Bill. In the Game Style, Cat Banzai's also function the same but share the interactive properties of its

Game Style Behavior
Like Bullet Bills, in the Game Style, Banzai Bills will destroy any Brick Blocks in their path. If they interact with ? Blocks, Empty Blocks, Ice Blocks or Hard Blocks, they will destroy the following terrain on impact and itself. If they interact with any other type of terrai They also sport an additional variant where they come towards the screen, from the rarely tapped Z-axis. It functions similar to a Bullet Bill Blaster as this variant of Banzai Bill will continue to launch from a launcher instead of being a single Banzai Bill. This is also exclusive to the standard Banzai Bill, so the Cat Banzai cannot support this variant.

Hitting a Banzai Bill of this variant using Cat Mario's swipe attack will also change its direction towards following a 2d plane again, away from the player.

Trivia

 * Despite Banzai Bills not appearing in Super Mario Bros., their design seems to be based on the Bullet Bills, which is most obvious in its shape.
 * Banzai Bills in the Game Style seem to be missing their spinning animation from their source game.
 * The  Game Style Banzai Bill seems to be based on their Super Mario World counterpart.
 * This might be due to how the Bullet Bills in Super Mario World are based on their sprite artwork from Super Mario Bros. 3 (but with more colors). Thus the Banzai Bills being the reverse in this case.
 * Banzai Bill is one of the biggest Course Parts in the game, occupying 16 tiles in a 4x4 space.
