Killer Ball being used

Killer Ball is the name of theSpecial Ball thatBowser uses inMario Superstar Baseball. While pitching, Bowser is able to throw aBullet Bill at the batter. The Bullet Bill moves slowly towards the player, flips around, and then flies past the batter at high speed.

If Bowser is batting, he is able to turn the ball into a Bullet Bill once contact is made. If caught, the Bullet Bill pushes the catcher far back. The only difference between Bowser's Killer Ball andJr.'s, is that the Killer Jr. Ball wears a bandanna, just like Bowser Jr. himself.

Mario Super Sluggers[edit]

The Killer Ball returns as Bowser's Star Pitch move inMario Super Sluggers. Just like in the predecessor, Bowser will throw a Bullet Bill that the batter must hit, but the Bullet Bill will do a loop before reaching the batter, which can mess up their timing.

Notes[edit]

  • The player must obtain theBullet Bill Power-Up in Challenge Mode ofMario Superstar Baseball before being able to use this move.
  • "Killer" as referenced in the name is also the Japanese name for Bullet Bills.
