'''Kaboombas''',<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[media:SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|127]]}}</ref> also named '''Cannons''', are walking cannon enemies first appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and returning in its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. In all of their appearances, Kaboombas attack by shooting heavy [[cannonball]]s that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' games]], a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can safely stand on a Kaboomba, and while eating them does nothing, Yoshi can defeat them with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or a [[Ground Pound]]. Its name is supposedly a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "[[Goomba]]", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.

In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Kaboombas appear only in [[The Cave Of The Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]], while in ''Yoshi's New Island'', Kaboombas appear in [[Bowser's Castle Break-In]].

Kaboombas and an unused big variant were originally designed during the development of ''[[Super Mario World]]'',<ref>Frieze (July 24, 2020).
