Kannons are large cannon-wielding members of the Kremling Krew first appearing in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are actually Klumps trained to use such weapons.[1] 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[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Kannons are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They attack by shooting barrels or kannonballs at the Kongs 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 remake, Kannon's defeat sound effect uses the same voice clip as Krunch from Diddy Kong Racing.

Kannon's original name the game's development was "Klumpa."

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

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

Super Mario-kun[edit]

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.
