'''Cannons''' appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as objects that launch [[cannonball]]s, though some of them shoot objects, other projectiles, and sometimes even [[List of characters|characters]]. Cannons are usually indestructible components of the environment. They have a more basic appearance and use than [[Bill Blaster]]s, which specifically shoot out [[Bullet Bill]]s.

[[File:SMB3cannon-NESandSMAS.png|thumb|Cannons on the ground in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (both original and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'').]]

Cannons appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as obstacles. They continue firing [[cannonball]]s when touched and appear on floors oftentimes. Some are fixed on ceilings. As seen in several [[airship]]s, grounded cannons are aimed diagonally upwards while ceiling cannons are aimed diagonally downward. These levels may also include four-barreled [[quartet-cannon]]s and two-barreled [[diagonal cannon]]s. In the [[tank]] and [[battleship|boat]] levels, other variations are introduced. Some take the form of turrets resembling [[small pipe]]s that fire straight ahead like [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s, some regular-looking cannons act as mortars that eject [[Bob-omb]]s at short distances, and some are [[giant cannon]]s that fire [[giant cannonball]]s.

 

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

Cannons, this time colored blue, are a vital gameplay element in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. There is at least one cannon found in ten levels in these games, as well as one secret stage. Each of the cannons that can be found throughout the games is under the control of [[Bob-omb Buddy|Bob-omb Buddies]]. The player must successfully locate and talk to the Bob-omb Buddies in each level in order to access the cannon or cannons for that particular level. Until they do, the cannons remain covered by a metal hatch with a picture of a Bob-omb Buddy on it, and are inaccessible. The location of each Bob-omb Buddy becomes increasingly difficult to find as [[Mario]] progresses through the game.

When a cannon has been unlocked, the metal hatch slides away, revealing a square hole in the ground. In order to use the cannon, Mario needs to only drop down into this hole. The cannon then rises out of the hole, and the player can use it to fire Mario to previously unreachable areas. When Mario has entered a cannon, a targeting reticle appears on the screen, allowing the player to aim the cannon where they want Mario to go. Once the cannon is locked on target, the player must press the {{button|n64|A}} button to fire (or {{button|ds|B}} in the remake). The player should aim slightly higher than the area they wish to shoot Mario to, as the height of Mario's trajectory tends to gradually decrease after he is fired from the cannon. Mario will not take falling damage if he is fired from a cannon. If the player collects a [[Wing Cap]] before entering a cannon, the player can fly around as [[Wing Mario]] immediately after being fired from the cannon, without needing to perform a [[Triple Jump]] to take off first. Cannons cannot be unlocked until after the [[Big Bob-omb on the Summit|first mission]] is completed.

In [[Bob-omb Battlefield]], there is a cannon controlled by a [[Bob-omb]] that Mario can never access due to the cannon shooting [[Water bomb (object)|water bombs]].

 

There is also a cannon outside the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], though it is covered by a small metal grate as opposed to a metal hatch. The cannon can be unlocked and used only after Mario has collected all 120 [[Power Star]]s in the game. When the cannon is used, the player is able to access the roof of the Mushroom Castle, where [[Yoshi]] and a hidden [[Wing Cap]] await. For the DS version, if 150 Power Stars are collected, Luigi can capture the green minigame rabbit from the roof.  

In the [[Whomp's Fortress]] mission "[[Blast Away the Wall]]," Mario must shoot himself out of a cannon in order to obliterate the topmost section of a nearby wall, which releases the hidden Power Star.

[[File:SMS Pinna Park Cannon.png|thumb|[[Mario]] running towards a cannon in [[Pinna Park]] with a [[Sunflower Kid]] in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', there are very few Cannons,<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J; Stratton, Bryan; Stratton, Stephen|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=13|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=September 3, 2002|isbn=0-7615-3961-1}}</ref> most of which are operated by [[Monty Mole]]s. These cannons are completely red in color, have a large dome shape, and have three openings from which multiple [[Bullet Bill]]s, Purple Bullet Bills, and [[Gold Bullet Bill|Golden Bullet Bill]]s can be shot. They effectively take the place of [[Bill Blaster]]s in this regard. When Mario approaches the cannons, the Monty Moles cease firing Bullet Bills at him, and instead begin pelting Mario with multiple [[Bob-omb]]s, which Mario must defuse (by spraying them) and then throw back at the mole to defeat it.  

The first cannon that is encountered in this game is found on the upper west side of [[Delfino Plaza]]. When [[Mario]] first comes across it, a [[Cannon Pianta|Pianta mechanic]] working inside it tells Mario that it is unfortunately out of order, and therefore unable to be used at the moment. However, after [[Shadow Mario]] has kidnapped [[Princess Peach]] and taken her to [[Pinna Park|Pinna Island]], the cannon becomes accessible, and Mario is able to use it to shoot himself to Pinna Island to pursue Shadow Mario. From this point on, the cannon continues to act as Mario's only means of transport to [[Pinna Park]], which he must return to every time he wishes to travel there. When Mario enters this cannon, he is automatically shot to the island, without needing to aim first.  

The second cannon in the game can be found near the entrance to [[Pinna Park]], and is manned by a [[Monty Mole]]. In the episode "[[The Beach Cannon's Secret]]", Mario must dodge incoming [[Bullet Bill]]s and make his way to the cannon, where he must throw Bob-ombs at the Monty Mole to defeat it. After it has been defeated, Mario must enter the cannon's opening to complete a [[Super Mario Sunshine#Secret Level|Secret Level]] and return to Delfino Plaza. Mario can also use the Bullet Bills fired from the cannon as an opportunity to collect many [[Blue Coin]]s, which are hidden under baskets that can only be broken open by Bullet Bills.  

The third and final cannon in the game is found in [[Uncork the Waterfall|Episode 1]] of [[Noki Bay]]. In this episode, the cannon is positioned atop an extremely large [[cork]], and continuously shoots out [[Glorpedo]]es which gradually fall down cliff faces and cause widespread pollution in the area. Mario must make his way to the top area of Noki Bay until he reaches the area with the cannon. Again, he must defuse Bob-ombs and then throw them back at the Monty Mole to defeat it. This time, the entire cannon explodes when defeated, and the cork blocking the waterfall is dislodged, releasing the [[Shine Sprite]] for that episode.

[[File:NSMBWarp Cannon.PNG|thumb|left|A Warp Cannon from ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]

A type of cannon called a [[Warp Cannon]] appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' These cannons blast Mario or Luigi to a different world. They are usually unlocked by finding a [[Goal Pole (secret)|red-flag exit]] in a level. Upright [[Pipe Cannon]]s also appear, and this time blast Mario or Luigi straight upwards when entered.

Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' fulfill largely the same role as those in ''Super Mario 64'', but with added enhancements. They player can now use the {{button|wii|Wiimote}} to aim. The {{button|wii|A}} button fires the cannon and Mario or Luigi can get to high places and Power Stars. He is not shot in an arc, however. He keeps going in a straight line and can lose a life if shot out of the gameplay area, as he does not fall down unless he hits a surface.

 

In the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' port of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player can no longer pan the camera while in cannons by holding down {{button|wii|Z}} and moving the controller away from the screen, due to the lack of a Sensor Bar.

[[File:NSMBW Bob-omb Cannon Render.png|frame]]

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', upward-pointed mortars that fire [[Bob-omb]]s reappear in {{world-link|4|airship|World 4-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. The upward and downward-pointed cannons that fire [[cannonball]]s diagonally from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' appear in {{world-link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, and now routinely rotate their barrel to the other direction before firing again. In addition, the rotating [[quartet-cannon]]s and horizontal [[giant cannon]]s return in this level.

 

[[Warp Cannon]]s and [[Pipe Cannon]]s from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' also appear.

[[File:SMG2 Cannon.png|thumb|left|130px|A cannon preparing to aim.]]

[[File:SMG2 Bowser Jr Boom Bunker Aiming The Cannon.png|200px|thumb|Mario aiming at a target with a cannon in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.]]

Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' appear only in [[Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker]], where they are mostly used in place of [[Launch Star]]s. In the [[Throwback Galaxy]], the cannon from [[Whomp's Fortress]] is replaced by a [[Sling Star]]. Cannons in these games are mostly the same as the original, but there is a target to land on. If the hero manages to hit the center, he gets an [[extra life]].

[[File:SM3DLAirshipCannon.png|right|thumb|180px|[[Tanooki Mario]] jumping into a cannon provided by [[Toad]] to reach the airship level in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.]]

Cannons in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' function similarly as in ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy''. They appear in several courses, and can now be controlled by moving the [[Nintendo 3DS]] around, just like the [[binoculars]]. Cannons are also provided by [[Toad]] for either Mario or Luigi, and are often found in the level after his Toad House stage. These cannons are used by the heroes to gain access to the [[airship]] levels where either [[Boom Boom]] or [[Pom Pom]] appear to challenge them.  

[[File:Nsmb2 blue cannon shooting.png|thumb|180px|Mario being shot out of World 1-Cannon in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]

[[Warp Cannon]]s return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though they act much different than before. In addition to a dark blue color scheme instead of a black color scheme, they gain access to 'Dash Mario' stages, which have Mario or Luigi continuously running through a short [[Subspace]]-esque setting dodging enemies and timing jumps to get through the level, with optional [[coin]]s to collect which also act as a guide to getting through the level. Collecting a row of coins causes an audience to clap. Completing these stages allows Mario to gain access to other worlds.

[[Pipe Cannon]]s also return from the previous games, acting much in the same way. These pipes first appear in World 1-A. Mortars called [[Bob-omb Cannon]]s appear in [[World 2-B (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-B]] that launch them as [[Parabomb|Para-bomb]]s. They are the only enemy artillery in the game.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', '''boss cannons'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Steve|title=''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|date=November 18, 2012|page=52|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=American English|quote=Enter the ominous boss cannon you discover at the top of these lengthy stairs, and you’ll be shot over to Lemmy’s airship. It’s time for a boss battle!|isbn=978-0-307-89690-2}}</ref> take an important role in [[castle]]s. After [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] finish the castle, they run up a flight of stairs and jump inside the cannon and blast into one of the [[Koopalings]]' [[airship]]s and start the Koopaling battle. [[Pipe Cannon]]s also appear in levels and in the world map, the latter of which is used to travel to other worlds. The normal cannons and [[giant cannon]]s from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' also appear and act in the same way; they appear in [[The Mighty Cannonship]] as well as in the [[Bowser's Airship Sneak]] and [[Airship 1-Up Rally]] [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|challenge]]s.

[[Bob-omb Cannon]]s appear exclusively in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', in which the normal enemy cannons are absent.

===''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)===

Cannons in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' appear in a variety of forms. In the [[Desert]], the cannons have a dated look taken from the Middle Ages (the image on the left); on the [[Airplane]], cannons are made out of steel and look more contemporary (middle image). Both types of cannons retain the same basic function and fire out bullets that look like [[Bullet Biff]]s, acting similar to the seed-spitting [[Dōryī]] except they sometimes fire two shots at a time. In later Airplane levels, different cannons charge up energy balls and routinely change their angle of fire, shooting diagonally and upwards as well (the image on the right). If Mario gets hit by any of their projectiles, he loses a life.

[[File:Kannon cannon art.png|thumb|Artwork of a kannon in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'']]

'''Kannons''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|language=en-us|page={{file link|DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|17}}|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> as they are called, appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as objects found in show levels with [[cannonball|kannonball]]s lying around. A kannon can be activated from throwing a kannonball into it, and then entering it, launching the characters to a [[Bonus Area]]. Kannons are first seen in [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Mainbrace Mayhem]], and only appear in levels with kannonballs lying around. There is also a [[Kremling]] enemy named [[Kannon]], whose name is based on the kannon it carries around.

 

====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''====

[[File:DKC3 cannon.png|frame|left]]

A cannon appears in the original version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' only. After Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] clear [[Belcha's Barn]], a cannon appears on top and blasts the Kongs back to the start of [[Lake Orangatanga]]. No cannons appear in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], since the player always returns to the main overworld immediately after clearing a boss stage.

 

====''Donkey Kong Country'' (Game Boy Color)====

Cannons in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are on the sides of the [[Gangplank Galleon|Gang-Plank Galleon]] in the final stage of [[Crosshair Cranky]], and they must be destroyed to win.

 

[[Luigi]] had to return the [[Cannonball from the Emperor's Cannon]] to the [[Kremlin]] in ''[[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|Mario is Missing!]]''

 

 

 

 

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'' / ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''====

[[File:MvDK2 Room 2-DK.png|thumb|120px|A cannon in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'']]

Cannons in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'' appear in boss fights against [[Donkey Kong]]. To use them, the player must use the stylus to move the handle to aim, then tap the "Shoot" button to fire.

[[File:MvsDKFinalBattle.png|thumb|left|120px|Final boss cannon in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'']]

[[File:Mobile and Static Cannons.png|thumb|100px|Single-direction cannon (left) and multidirectional cannon (right)]]

Cannons appear as common objects in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', first appearing in [[Cannon Cove]] as the main object. They also appear as the main weapon against the final boss, like in the previous games. There are two types: multidirectional cannons and cannons that aim in one direction, with the latter moving vertically or horizontally.

Multidirectional Cannons reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', where they act the same as in their previous appearance. [[Cannon Kong]]s, Kong toys with cannons for bodies, also appear.

Although no regular, harmful cannons appear in the game, [[pot cannon]]s make an appearance as the first helpful cannons of the ''Super Mario'' franchise in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. They appear in [[Land's End]] and help Mario to reach higher places.

|image1=Bowserincannon.png

A cannon also appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. After the crash of the [[Koopa Cruiser]], [[Bowser]] gets stuck in it, and tells Mario and Luigi to get him out. They can not, however. [[Tolstar]] then tells them that he will help them get Bowser out if they collect 100 [[Beanbean coin]]s. The Mario Bros. obtain the coins, but Tolstar betrays them. Mario and Luigi then defeat Tolstar in a battle, but [[Starshade Bros.|Sergeant Starshade]] comes out and lights the fuse of the cannon, sending Bowser to crash into [[Hoohoo Mountain]]. The Cannon then disappears, allowing Mario and Luigi to pass.

[[File:Canonballer.png|frame|left]]

Cannons appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' as [[Bros. Item]]s named [[Cannonballer]]s.

 

One [[Bros. Attack]] in [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]] is [[Bye-Bye Cannon]], where a cannon is used to launch multiple copies of the Bros. into the distance. They loop around, then drop from the foreground to stomp on a target.

 

In [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]], a cannon shoots Mario and Luigi up into the final room where they meet Bowser. It is entered as though it is a pipe. After the battle, the cannon cannot be used again, making the final two rooms [[Unrevisitable area]]s.

 

A cannon called [[Big Bob]] appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', in the [[Fahr Outpost]] area. This cannon is vital for Mario in the game. He has to use it in order to shoot himself up to the [[moon]]. The cannon itself is big enough that it can fit more than 100 [[Bob-omb]]s inside of it. The Bob-ombs are needed to fire the cannon off.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====

Cannons in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' are part of the [[Violet Passage captain]]'s ship. Mario must use the cannons to fire Cannonballs in order to get through the [[Violet Passage]].

Cannons in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'' can be entered by [[Yoshi]] if he [[jump]]s into it. By tilting the [[Game Boy Advance]] to the left or the right, the cannon tilts to the respective direction.

Cannons appear in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'' as objects located behind every [[trapdoor (Mario Pinball Land)|trapdoor]] in the sunken ship of the [[Frosty Frontier Stage]] and in [[Porcupuffer (boss)|Porcupuffer]]'s rematch room in the [[Fiery Stage]]. Hitting a trapdoor causes its cannon to shoot a [[Bob-omb|cannonball bomb]] into the area. Two cannons also appear in the Bob-omb minigame from [[Toad's tent]] in [[the Fun Fair]], shooting Bob-ombs onto the playfield when the [[! Switch|Blue Switch]] is activated. In addition, a type of cannon called a [[Sky Cannon]] appears in this game.

[[File:Wario Hide and Go Boom.png|thumb|Cannons as seen in ''Mario Party 4''.]]

[[File:CannonFigureMPDS.png|thumb|150px|left|A Cannon figure from ''Mario Party DS''.]]

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', four cannons appear in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Hide and Go BOOM!]], as the hiding spots of the three players. The fourth player lights the fuse to fire the cannons to send them flying.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', on the board [[DK's Treetop Temple]], characters can use cannons to blast to a space somewhere at the top of the map for five coins. On the board [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]], [[Pirate Goomba]]s use cannons to blast any characters who land on the respective [[Event Space|Green Space]] back to the start. The same happens in Star Battle Arena if a character reaches [[Captain Goomba (Mario Party 8)|Captain Goomba]] with less than 50 coins, althuogh they will get to roll a [[Coin Block Area|Coin Block]] to get extra coins first.

Cannons appear in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. They appear on the board, [[Bowser's Pinball Machine]], where they are scattered on sides of the board. If the player lands on the [[Space (Mario Party series)|space]] next to the cannon, they hop in it. Then they have to draw a line in the direction they want to land. They then land on a bumper that they bounce off of. After they bounce off the bumper, they land on a space. A Cannon also appears as a [[List of Collectibles from Mario Party DS|collectible]]. It is a board feature from Bowser's Pinball Machine. The figure can be unlocked by being launched by a cannon on Bowser's Pinball Machine three times.

Cannons also appeared in the ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' minigame [[Cannonball! (minigame)|Cannonball!]], where players have to travel the farthest by firing themselves out of the cannon.

Cannons in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' shoot exploding cannonballs in the [[Pirate Ship]] court.

===''Wario: Master of Disguise''===

Cannons in ''[[Wario: Master of Disguise]]'' include a golden cannon known as [[Blamses]], the [[Sphinx Jr.]], and [[K9 Cannon]].

Cannons in the Adventure Tours mode of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' can launch Mario or [[Sonic]] to a different island after they saved a [[snow spirits|snow spirit]].

Cannons in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' are obstacles in the party game, [[Bob-omb Dodge]] where players get to dodge the [[Bob-omb]]s that are shot out for two minutes. Also in the game, players can use Warp Cannons in the [[Flower Cup]] Tournament to unlock alternate routes.

Cannons in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] are used by [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] to reach areas in various levels. A new type of cannon called [[Turnip Cannon]], is introduced in the game.

 

===''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle''===

 

In ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', [[King Bob-omb]] shoots himself from a cannon to impart a force to his golf ball during his [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] animation. This cannon has the same design as the black cannons from the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' game style of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.

 

In the {{file link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a cannon resembling the ones from ''Super Mario 64'' can be seen on the highest floating island. It can also be seen in the film itself when [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Toad]] visit Bob-omb Battlefield.<ref>{{cite|author=LuccaDoesStuff|date=February 19, 2023|url=youtu.be/gHR-C_WIPXU|title=The Super Mario Bros.

An idea for a cannon is seen in a piece of concept art for the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' It would have been manned by a turtle resembling a [[Hammer Bro]]ther.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=September 13, 2015|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLoRd6_a1CI&t=84s|title=Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary Special Interview ft.
