'''Pot Cannons''' are objects seen in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They are notable for being the first-ever helpful [[cannon]] seen in a [[Mario (series)|''Mario'']] game. (Harmful, [[Cannonball]]-shooting cannons previously appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.)

As their name suggests, Pot Cannons are pot-like cannons. They also have eyes that seem to serve only for decorative purposes. Their ends can also be thought of as mouths (as Pot Cannons seem to have a deliberately humanoid look).

[[Mario]] can enter a Pot Cannon just as he would a [[Warp Pipe]] (by jumping onto it and pressing "Down"). After Mario is loaded in the Cannon, it will start moving in three directions (forward, backward, and upward), clicking as it moves. By [[jump]]ing while inside the Pot Cannon, Mario can launch himself forward (and, if he times his jump perfectly with the click, he can blast himself super-far).

Pot Cannons are primarily used in [[Land's End]], where even [[Geckit]]s have the ability to make use of them.

Pot cannons[1] are objects in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They are cannons with eyes painted on them. Pot cannons are used mainly in Land's End. Mario can enter one by jumping into it, then the pot cannon starts moving in three directions (forward, backward, and upward), clicking as it moves.
