A '''Cannon Box''' is an [[List of items|item]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Cannon Boxes are first found as [[? Block]]s, but after one is hit once, the actual Cannon Box is revealed. The player can then hit it once again, causing them to wear it over their body. The color of the Cannon Box changes to match the character that is wearing it. While using a Cannon Box, the character continually fires [[cannonball]]s from a cannon on the front of the box. If the player holds {{button|wiiu|x}}/{{button|wiiu|y}}/{{button|wii|1}}/{{button|wii|b}}, the cannon can be charged, which increases the distance cannonballs travel and allows the player to hold their fire. Cannonballs fired can collect [[coin]]s and other items, as well as break cracked walls and [[Rock Block]]s. Unlike other items, the cannonballs can damage the other players unless they are in their [[Invincible Mario|Invincible form]]s or [[Mega Mario|Mega form]]s.

Some Cannon Boxes, called [[Cannon]]s, act as obstacles that keep shooting cannonballs to harm the player. These can be turned into wearable boxes if struck from below or hit with a cannonball. Cannon Boxes are similar to [[Propeller Box]]es in how they are obtained and how they are used.

Cannon Boxes were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, appearing in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. Their operation has been slightly modified and now resembles that of [[Fire Koopa Clown Car]]s, in that pressing the [[dash]] button fires a short-ranged shot, while they can still be charged for longer-ranged shots by holding the button, though unlike a Fire Koopa Clown Car, charged shots cannot break [[Hard Block]]s. A normal shot travels approximately six blocks far, while charged shots travel approximately 12 blocks far. If the player shoots a [[! Block]] with a Cannon Box, the blocks appear all at once as if it were [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed. A single shot is equal to a single [[stomp]] against [[Boom Boom]], [[Pom Pom]], and [[Bully|Bullies]], and [[Meowser]] can be defeated by seven shots.
