Notable Attacks / Techniques:
- Bullet Bill: The main species. Capable of homing is some games, can increase, and can explode at will or upon colliding with something. Once they're shot out of the cannon, they fly rather than depend on trajectory. Unaffected by fire-based attacks.
- Bull's-Eye Bill: Homing in, generally with more skill than the usual variant.
- Magnum: A dull gold Bullet Bill used by Smithy. Capable of inflicted Instant Death, but cannot bypass protection from this.
- Sniper Bill: A Bullet Bill wielding a Super Scope 6.
- Mad Bullet Bill: A Bullet Bill literally inflamed with rage. Faster due to the rage boost and covered in a fiery aura.
- Tail Bullet Bill: A Bullet Bill using a Super Leaf. Has the tail attack of the Tanooki Suit.
- Cat Bullet Bill: A Bullet Bill using a Cat Bell. Can home in like Bull's-Eye Bill.
- Bouncy Bullet Bill: Can bouncy off walls instead of explode upon collision.
- Bombshell Bullet Bill: A golden, more powerful variant of Bullet Bill used to protect valuables.
- Air Bullet Bill: White Bullet Bills that are shot from Air Cannons. They fly in circles and can turn invisible. (Their official name is unknown).
- Banzai Bill: A much larger variant of the Bullet Bill. Not naturally capable of homing, but fly in a similar nature to Bullet Bills. Can increase their speed, explode at will and are unaffected by fire and ice.
- Homing Banzai Bill: Can home in one foes along a vertical range, but cannot readjust itself very quickly.
- Cat Banzai Bill: A Banzai Bill using a Cat Bell, allowing it to home in at enemies at much faster speeds than above.
- "Black Paint Bomb": Banzai Bills in Paper Mario Colour Splash are filled with Black Paint, a substance beyond toxic formed as a result of mixing all six paint colours. Used by Black Bowser to cover large areas in the substance. Black Paint has demonstrated mind control and can summon Black Lava Bubbles to aid in a fight.
- Red Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Red paint would make the target angry and faster.
- Blue Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Blue paint would make the target sad and limit which attacks they wish to use.
- Yellow Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Yellow paint would make the target energetically joyous and limit which attacks they wish to use. A beat is also played which appears to exhibit Broadway Force.
- Green Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Green paint would remove the motivation from the target, and make their attacks very slow.
- Orange Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Orange paint makes the target feel embarrassed, limiting the type of attacks they wish to us.
- Purple Paint: As Black Paint is a mixture of all six paint types, it can likely tap into their powers. Purple paint is poisonous, but not as dangerous as Black Paint itself.
- King Bill: An enormous variant of Bullet Bill! Despite being able to take all sorts of attacks, even those from Starman empowered Mario, it appears to be defeatable by a mere icicle according to hacks. This is odd, considering it has shown to be unaffected by other ice attacks.
- Gold Ring: A golden ring which can be used to turn certain species golden, including Bullet Bills and Banzai Bills. Allows them to leave behind a trail for coins.
