'''Bob-omb Cannons''' are enemy artillery in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series and [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special items]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They are [[cannon]]s that exclusively fire [[Bob-omb]]s—never [[cannonball]]s. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', this trait is shared with some normal cannons without them being recognized as a separate object.<ref>{{cite|author=Sakai, Kazuya (Ambit), kikai, Akinori Sao, Junko Fukuda, Kunio Takayama, and Ko Nakahara (Shogakukan), editors|title="New Super Mario Bros.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Bob-omb Cannons are the only type of enemy cannon in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and appear only in the secret course [[World 2-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-B]]. They are angled diagonally and fire [[Parabomb|Para-bomb]]s into the sky that slowly drift down. Some Bob-omb Cannons rotate left and right between fires.

====''New Super Luigi U''====
Bob-omb Cannons are one of the few obstacles to appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' that do not appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. In this title, they look identical to the normal mortars from the latter game, but they exclusively fire [[Bob-omb]]s. They appear only in [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]], alongside the [[giant cannon]]s. Normal cannons do not appear in ''New Super Luigi U''.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Bob-omb Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' appear only in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]], fastened to the top of [[pushable wall]]s.{{conjectural}} They share the design of short [[Bill Blaster]]s, but otherwise function the same way. Like ''New Super Luigi U'', they launch Bob-ombs, as Parabombs are not in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''.

===''Mario Kart Tour''===

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the Bob-omb Cannon is the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of [[Black Shy Guy]], [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]], [[Builder Mario|Builder Toad]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Explorer)]], [[King Boo|King Boo (Luigi's Mansion)]], [[Wario|Wario (Hiker)]], [[Dry Bowser|Dry Bowser (Gold)]], [[Bowser Jr.|Bowser Jr. (Pirate)]], [[Birdo|Birdo (Black)]], [[Waluigi|Waluigi (Vampire)]], and the [[Mii|Castle, Brown, and Spike Mii Racing Suits]]. Wario, Waluigi, and [[Diddy Kong]] also have access to the item in [[Take them out quick!]] bonus challenges. When used, it appears on the front of the player's kart and shoots out Bob-ombs in front of it. Once ten Bob-ombs are fired, the cannon disappears. During a Bob-omb Cannon [[Frenzy]], Bob-ombs surround the player and the cannon shoots three Bob-ombs each time it fires. When Bob-omb Cannon+ is active, a second cannon is added, allowing the player to shoot even more Bob-ombs. Unlike previous appearances, the Bob-omb Cannon in ''Mario Kart Tour'' has a bright yellow muzzle, making them resemble [[Warp Cannon]]s.
