==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
To activate a kannon, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must throw a [[kannonball]] into it, and then enter it; it launches the Kongs to a [[Bonus Area]]. They first appear in [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mainbrace Mayhem]], and only appear in levels with kannonballs (not being shot). There is also a [[Kremling]] enemy named [[Kannon]], whose name is based on the kannon it carries around.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===

A Kannon makes a brief appearance in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. After the Kongs defeat [[Belcha]], a Kannon pops up on top of [[Belcha's Barn]] and blasts the Kongs back to the start of [[Lake Orangatanga]]. It does not appear in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version as that version immediately returns the player back to the main overworld after defeating a boss.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
A single kannon appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' in the [[Gloomy Galleon]] stage. To use it, [[Chunky Kong]] must put a kannonball into it. He must use the kannon to fire kannonballs at moving targets on the wall. By firing at enough of them, Chunky is awarded with a [[Golden Banana]].
