Giant cannonballs,[1] also referred to as huge bullets,[2] giant bullets,[3] or massive cannon balls,[4] appear in a few sidescrolling Super Mario games as uncommon moving obstacles that are larger than regular cannonballs and fired from giant cannons. Giant cannonballs first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3, where they appear only in Dark Land's first tank level and the battleship level. Unlike regular cannonballs, they can be defeated using Hammer Mario's hammers. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, giant cannonballs appear only in World 8-Airship. In New Super Mario Bros. U, they appear only in The Mighty Cannonship from Soda Jungle. Even though normal cannonballs are absent from New Super Luigi U, giant cannonballs reappear in the level Bowser Jr. Showdown.
Giant cannonballs reappear in Super Mario Maker (and 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 official course created by Bowser, named Bowser's Cannonball Run, involves Mario running to keep a red giant cannonball onscreen until the end.
