'''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]].

Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' appear in [[Airship Cannons...Fire!]] and [[Airship Armada]]. They are timed to fire [[cannonball]]s at specific moments during their on-screen duration. Cannonballs are explicitly meant to be bounced from, with trails of coins in arcs lining up with the position of a cannonball. Cannons sometimes appear in sets of two or three, firing cannonballs aligned with each other | Cannons in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' appear in [[Airship Cannons...Fire!]] and [[Airship Armada]].

Cannonballs are explicitly meant to be bounced from, with trails of coins in arcs lining up with the position of a cannonball. Cannons sometimes appear in sets of two or three, firing cannonballs aligned with each other such that bouncing from at least one of them is easier. | ||
A different type of cannon, a larger blue one with screw in the middle and a yellow rim, appear in the courses [[Slope to Success]], [[Pokey Vaulting]], [[Land of Spikes]], and Airship Armada.

When walked on, the player enters these as though they are a Warp Pipe. Afterward, the cannon turns to reach a starting angle, then rotate back and forth, reversing direction at specified angles. The player can tap the screen to fire back out, comparable to a [[Barrel Cannon]] in nature. The player starts off flying in a straight line, then reverts to normal movement after a short time. During the launch, no other abilities or moves can be used. The [[Midair Stall]] also does not work, but one can enter a [[bubble]]. Taking damage cuts the flight short. The cannon reverts to its default orientation after firing. Cannons lose their collision while a character is inside them. | ||
Some cannons will have a different way of moving. Instead or rotating, they slide up and down on a [[track]]. After firing, such cannons will rotate back to normal then move back to their base position. Some cannons found in Secret Courses do not do move in either of the two ways, instead being static once the player is ready to launch. Certain cannons are linked to [[Blue Coin]]s. Entering the cannon makes the coins appear, and the coins will disappear after a short time. This timer is unrelated to firing the cannon. If the player reenters a cannon of this kind, the Blue Coins the player already collected do not appear again. | Some cannons will have a different way of moving.

'' | Larger cannons with a similarity to the Warp Cannon from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' are [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|building]]s in Kingdom Builder Mode. All of them take up a 2x2 space, and each points directly upward. The '''Fireworks Cannon''' is mostly similar to the Warp Cannon though the base has a yellow square lower layer, an grey circle top layer, and orange pieces on the edge of the grey section. When a Fireworks Cannon is tapped, it shoots pink fireworks in a [[Super Mushroom]] pattern. The '''Silver Fireworks Cannon''' changes the colors, being mostly silver but with blue accents on the base. When tapped, it shoots a pink firework, a blue firework, and then a pink and yellow [[Fire Flower]] firework. The '''Gold Fireworks Cannon''' is larger than the prior two, and is mostly gold with red portions on the base. When tapped, it shoots four fireworks: one pink, one blue, one yellow, then one pink. It ends on a [[Super Star]] firework incorporating all three colors. An event added the '''1st Anniversary Fireworks Cannon'''. It is based on the Gold Fireworks Cannon but has silver parts on the base and a "1" printed on the cannon in the same silver color. The same arrangement of fireworks from the Gold Fireworks Cannon occurs with the 1st Anniversary Fireworks Cannon, except that the final firework is of Mario's head. Sometimes a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] can be seen examining a Fireworks Cannon or variation, occasionally lightly knocking against it. They can also balance on the rim of any Fireworks Cannon. A Toad can sleep on the side of a Gold Fireworks Cannon or 1st Anniversary Fireworks Cannon. | ||

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 | A cannon also appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.

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. | In [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]], a cannon shoots Mario and Luigi up into the final room where they meet Bowser.
