A Cannon Box is an item that appears in the Wii U game Super Mario 3D World. Cannon Boxes are first found as ? Blocks, but after being hit once, the actual Cannon Box is revealed. The player can then hit it once again, causing them to wear it over their body. The color of the Cannon Box changes to match the character that is wearing it. While using a Cannon Box, characters can fire cannonballs from a cannon on the front of the box. The player that is wearing the Cannon Box must be cautious as to not fire cannonballs at other players, since the cannonballs will damage the other players unless they are in their Invincible form or Mega form.

Some Cannon Boxes act as obstacles that keep shooting cannonballs to harm the player. These can be turned into wearable boxes if struck from below or hit with a cannonball. Cannon Boxes are similar to Propeller Boxes in how they are obtained and how they are used. Template:BoxTop
