'''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. | '''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]].

[[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. | [[Warp Cannon]]s return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though they act much different than before.

Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' are timed to fire [[cannonball]]s at specific moments during their on-screen duration. This careful timing can be used to gain height from the air when playing [[Airship]] levels (2-4, 4-4, 6-3). They spawn in single sets, but also double and triples, giving players more space to bounce off of when facing a barrage of cannonballs. | |||
