First appearance Wrecking Crew '98 (1998)

Kanbanks[1] are enemies found in Wrecking Crew '98. They are signs of Bowser that are each six panels wide and more than six panels tall, hence their name, which derives from the Japanese word「看板」(kanban), which means "signboard". The message at the bottom of the sign says「安全第一」(anzen dai'ichi), which means "safety first".

Kanbanks are the most dangerous enemies in the game, as they can immediately end the game of the opponent of the player who summoned it. They appear in combos of at least nine Panels of any color, making them difficult to summon.
