Giant cannonballs first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they appear only in [[Dark Land]]'s [[World 8-Big Tanks|first tank level]] and the [[World 8-Battleships|battleship level]]. Unlike regular cannonballs, they can be defeated using [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]]s. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', giant cannonballs appear only in {{world link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', they appear only in [[The Mighty Cannonship]] from [[Soda Jungle]].

Wii]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They are much faster and bigger than the original [[Cannonball]]s, making them much harder to avoid. They always appear alongside (or in the same stage as) the smaller Cannonballs. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they only appear in [[Dark Land]]'s first [[Tank]] [[World 8-Big Tanks|level]] and the [[Battleship]] [[World 8-Battleships|level]]. The [[Cannon]]s that fire the giant cannonballs resemble [[Warp Pipe]]s, but they are colored black (blue in remakes) so as to not confuse the player. In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', they only appear in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]'s [[World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Airship]]. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', they only appear in [[The Mighty Cannonship]] from [[Soda Jungle]]. Even though normal cannonballs are absent during ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Giant Cannonballs reappear in the level [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]]. |

| Giant cannonballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS version]]) and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Cannon with a [[Super Mushroom]], turning it into a giant cannon and enabling it to fire giant cannonballs. Unlike previous games, giant cannonballs are not faster than regular cannonballs by default; the cannon has to be changed from black to red in order to reproduce the faster speed. The second [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|official course]] created by [[Bowser]], named [[Bowser's Cannonball Run]], involves [[Mario]] running to keep a red giant cannonball onscreen until the end. | | [[File:GiantCannonballNSMBW.png|thumb|left|250px|A Giant Cannonball in ''New Super Mario Bros.
