| When a [[Wonder Effect]] occurs on a '''flying battleship''', a giant turret appears bobbing through the sky in the background that fires powerful beams onto the course. The turret is identical to the {{wp|Figurehead (object)|figurehead}} of the [[Airship|battleship]] itself and at least one source implies they are one in the same.<ref name=kai>{{cite|author=Kai, editor|date=9 Feb. 2024|url=www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/3c24e9ec-6583-401a-a5ab-818180c2c0a8|title=マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。～その2～【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.14】|publisher=Nintendo Official Site|language=ja|accessdate=15 Jan. 2025}}</ref> The only difference between them is that the turret's eyes glow pink instead of green. It occurs only on the three flying battleship courses in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'': [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]], [[Petal Isles Flying Battleship]], and [[Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship]].
| | The '''Bowser cannon''' is an enemy that appears during the [[Wonder Effect]] of the three flying battleship levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'': [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]], [[Petal Isles Flying Battleship]] and [[Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship]]. It spawns in with an evil laugh once the player collects the [[Wonder Flower]], and begins to fly in a bobbing motion in the background while shooting at the player. Similarly to [[Kroc]], it's shots are represented with a crosshair that follows the player, stopping only to flash briefly and explode. Said explosion has the ability to not only harm enemies and players, but destroy objects such as [[Crate]]s, [[Hard Block]]s, and [[Bill Blaster]]s along with activating [[Marimba Block]]s. Once the [[Wonder Seed]] is collecting (usually by means of using the shots to your advantage), the Bowser Cannon disappears with an angered growl in a puff of smoke. |

| The turret appears with an evil laugh once the player collects the [[Wonder Flower]], and begins to fly in a bobbing motion in the background while shooting at the player. Its shots are represented with a crosshair that follows the player character, stopping only to flash briefly and fire. The explosions from its attacks has the ability to not only harm enemies and player characters, but destroy objects such as [[Crate]]s, [[Hard Block|hard block]]s, [[Iron Block]]s, and [[Bill Blaster]]s along with activating [[Marimba Block]]s. Once the [[Wonder Seed]] is collecting (usually by means of using the shots to clear obstructing parts of the course), the turret vanishes with an angered growl in a puff of smoke. All three of its appearances use the same music, "Doomy-Gloom Wonder."
