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

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

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're 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

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.
