'''Kannons''' are large [[cannon]]-wielding members of the [[Kremling Krew]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are actually [[Klump]]s trained to use such weapons.<ref name="engmanual">{{cite|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=29|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995}}</ref> However, while normal Klumps wear army gear (green helmet, grenade belt, etc.) Kannons wear more of a pirate ensemble, such as earrings, a large belt, and a large black hat with a skull and cross-bones on it. Kannons also have different ears.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Kannons are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They attack by shooting [[barrel]]s or [[Cannonball|kannonball]]s at the [[Kong]]s in whatever direction they are facing, either forward or downward. Kannons can be found in several levels, but mostly underground areas. Despite being large and burly, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can easily defeat a Kannon with any attack method. In the ending cast of characters, a Kannon appears under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kannon's defeat sound effect uses the same voice clip as [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''.

Kannon's original name the [[List of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest pre-release and unused content|game's development]] was "Klumpa."

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Kannons are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are first encountered in the game's equivalent of their namesake level, [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Kannon's Klaim]]. Kannons behave similarly as in the previous game.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
A Kannon makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Kannon.

==Notes==
*[[Kaptain Skurvy]], a character from the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], resembles a Kannon. The only obvious difference is that Skurvy has a hand-cannon instead of a cannon, but it is still large enough to fire small cannonballs.
