Cannon

Template:Articleabout Template:Species-infobox

“Hey! Mario!!! Great timing! I could use a hand here! I'm kind of...stuck.”

—Bowser, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Cannons are used to fire all kinds of projectiles in the Mario franchise, including characters. They have a more generic appearance and use than the Bill Blasters which specifically shoot out only Bullet Bills. Cannons are usually part of the environment and cannot be destroyed.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

Cannons on the ground in Super Mario Bros. 3 (both NES and Super Mario All-Stars).

Cannons make their first appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3 in the airship levels. Unlike Bill Blasters, which shoot Bullet Bills straight ahead, fixed cannons shoot their cannonballs diagonally. They are found on floors and ceilings and will continue firing when touched. There are also rotating versions of the cannons, which fire in two directions at a time, then rotate at a 45° angle. Some cannons eject Bob-ombs at short distances.

Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS

Mario aiming with a cannon in Super Mario 64.

Cannons, this time colored blue, are a vital gameplay element in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. There is at least one cannon found in ten levels in these games, as well as one secret stage. Each of the cannons that can be found throughout the games are under the control of Bob-omb Buddies. The player must successfully locate and talk to the Bob-omb Buddies in each level in order to access the cannon or cannons for that particular level. Until they do, the cannons will remain covered by a metal hatch with a picture of a Bob-omb Buddy on it, and will be inaccessible. The location of each Bob-omb Buddy becomes increasingly difficult to find as Mario progresses through the game. A common misconception is that only the cannon or cannons in the immediate vicinity of the Bob-omb Buddy will be unlocked when Mario talks to them. Fortunately, this is not the case, as every cannon in the level will be unlocked.

When a cannon has been unlocked, the metal hatch will slide away, revealing a square hole in the ground. In order to use the cannon, Mario needs only to drop down into this hole. The cannon will then rise out of the hole, and the player can use it to fire Mario to previously unreachable areas. When Mario has entered a cannon, a targeting reticle will appear on the screen, allowing the player to aim the cannon where they want Mario to go and when the target is locked, press the button to fire (or in the remake). The player should aim slightly higher than the area they wish to shoot Mario to, as the height of Mario's trajectory tends to gradually decrease after he is fired from the cannon. If the player collects a Wing Cap before entering a cannon, the player can fly around as Wing Mario immediately after being fired from the cannon, without needing to perform a Triple Jump to take off first. Cannons cannot be unlocked after the first two missions are completed.

Contrary to popular belief, there is indeed a cannon outside Princess Peach's Castle, though it is covered by a small metal grate as opposed to a metal hatch. The cannon can only be unlocked and used after Mario has collected all 120 Power Stars in the game. When used, the player will be able to access the roof of Princess Peach's Castle, where Yoshi and a hidden Wing Cap await. For the DS version, if 150 Power Stars are collected, Luigi can capture the green mini-game rabbit from the roof.

In the Whomp's Fortress level "Blast Away the Wall", Mario must shoot himself out of a cannon in order to obliterate the topmost section of a nearby wall, which will release the hidden Power Star.

Super Mario Sunshine

File:SMS PP TBCS Cannon.png

Mario running towards a cannon in Pinna Park with a Sunflower Kid in Super Mario Sunshine.

In Super Mario Sunshine, there are very few cannons, most of which are operated by Monty Moles. These cannons are completely red in color and have three openings from which multiple Bullet Bills, Bull's-Eye Bills, and Bombshell Bills can be shot. They effectively take the place of Bill Blasters in this regard. When Mario approaches the cannons, the Monty Moles will cease firing Bullet Bills at him, and will instead begin to pelt Mario with multiple Bob-ombs, which Mario must diffuse (by spraying them) and then throw back at the mole to defeat it.

The first cannon that is encountered in this game is found on the upper west side of Delfino Plaza. When Mario first comes across it, a Pianta mechanic working inside it will tell Mario that it is unfortunately out of order, and therefore unable to be used at the moment. However, after Shadow Mario has kidnapped Princess Peach and taken her to Pinna Island, the cannon becomes accessible, and Mario is able to use it to shoot himself to Pinna Island to pursue Shadow Mario. From this point on, the cannon continues to act as Mario's only means of transport to Pinna Park, which he must return to every time he wishes to travel there. When Mario enters this cannon, he will automatically be shot to the island, without needing to aim first.

The second cannon in the game can be found near the entrance to Pinna Park, and is manned by a Monty Mole. In the episode "The Beach Cannon's Secret", Mario must dodge incoming Bullet Bills and make his way to the cannon, where he must throw Bob-ombs at the Monty Mole to defeat it. After it has been defeated, Mario must enter the cannon's opening to complete a Secret Level and return to Delfino Plaza. Mario can also use the Bullet Bills fired from the cannon as an opportunity to collect many Blue Coins, which are hidden under baskets that can only be broken open by Bullet Bills.

The third and final cannon in the game is found in Episode 1 of Noki Bay. In this episode, the cannon is positioned atop an extremely large cork, and continuously shoots out Glorpedoes which gradually fall down cliff faces and cause widespread pollution in the area. Mario must make his way to the top area of Noki Bay until he reaches the area with the cannon. Again, he must defuse Bob-ombs and then throw them back at the Monty Mole to defeat it. This time, the entire cannon will explode when defeated, and the cork blocking the waterfall will be dislodged, releasing the Shine Sprite for that episode.

New Super Mario Bros.

A Warp Cannon from New Super Mario Bros..

A type of Cannon called a Warp Cannon appears in New Super Mario Bros.. These cannons blast Mario or Luigi to a different world. They are usually unlocked by finding a secret goal in a level. Another type of cannon called Cannon Pipes appear, which, when entered, blast Mario or Luigi to an unreachable place in a level, similar to the slanted pipes from Super Mario World.

Super Mario Galaxy

Cannons reappear in Super Mario Galaxy. These cannons appear to be more advanced than the cannons from Super Mario 64 and they largely fulfill the same role as in that game. They also have much more precise aiming, since the player uses the to aim. The button fires the cannon and Mario or Luigi can get to high places and Power Stars. He is not shot in an arc, however. He will keep going in a straight line and can lose a life if shot out of the gameplay area, as he will not fall down unless he hits a surface.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

File:Cannon NSMBW.png

File:4 way cannon.PNG

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Cannons from Super Mario Bros. 3 that fire Cannonballs and Bob-ombs re-appear. The rotating sets of four cannons also appear (with a slight redesign), and one of them is larger and fires Giant Cannonballs. This one is usually found at the end of the airship stages before the battle with Bowser Jr., with one of their cannons being a Warp Pipe that doesn't fire and which characters must enter. Warp Cannons and Cannon Pipes from New Super Mario Bros. also appear. Another type of cannon which makes an appearance are cannons from the 1-Up Blast mini-games. Characters enter these cannons and aim before they blast themselves and attempt to pop balloons to earn 1-Ups.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

File:SMG2 BJBB BJBM Cannon.png

Cannons once again appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. However, they only appear in Bowser Jr.'s Boom Bunker, where they are mostly used in place of Launch Stars. In the Throwback Galaxy, the cannon from Whomp's Fortress is replaced by a Sling Star. Cannons in these games are pretty much the same as the original, but there's a target to land on. If the hero manages to hit the center, he gets an extra life.

Super Mario 3D Land

Tanooki Mario jumping into a cannon provided by Toad to reach the airship level in Super Mario 3D Land.

Cannons appear in Super Mario 3D Land in several levels, with a similar function to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. However, it can now controlled by moving the Nintendo 3DS around, just like the binoculars. Cannons are also provided by Toad for either Mario or Luigi, and are often found in the level after his Toad House stage. These cannons are used by the heroes to gain access to the airship levels where either Boom Boom or Pom Pom appear to challenge them.

The cannons in this game share the same color scheme of that with a black body and blue outlines.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Mario being shot out of World 1-Cannon in New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Warp Cannons return in New Super Mario Bros. 2, though they act much different than before. In addition to a dark blue color scheme instead of a black color scheme, they gain access to 'Dash Mario' stages, which have Mario or Luigi continuously running through a short Subspace-esque setting dodging enemies and timing jumps to get through the level, with optional Coins to collect which also act as a guide to getting through the level. Collecting a row of coins will cause a audience to clap. Completing these stages allows Mario to gain access to other worlds.

Cannon Pipes also return from the previous games, acting much in the same way. These pipes first appear in World 1-A.

New Super Mario Bros. U

In New Super Mario Bros. U, Warp Cannons take an important role in Castles. After Mario, Luigi and the Toads finish the Castle, they will run up a flight of stairs and will jump inside the cannon and blast into one of the Koopaling's airship and start the Koopaling battle, Cannon Pipes also appear in the levels and in the World Map which is used to travel to worlds unlocked, the Cannons from Super Mario Bros. 3 also appear where act in the same way, they appear in The Mighty Cannonship from Soda Jungle also appear in some challenges of Challenge Mode

Super Mario 3D World

Cannons also appear in Super Mario 3D World in the Tank levels during cutscenes. They are used at the beginning of the levels near Sprixies to transport the player to the stage. They also appear as enemies. They most prominently appear in World Star-9 (Cosmic Cannon Cluster), and attack like in previous games. If a Brick Block is destroyed under a Cannon, it changes into a Cannon Box, which can be used to attack enemies and destroy cracked walls.

Donkey Kong series

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)

In Donkey Kong for the Game Boy, cannons appear in a variety of forms. Their appearance changes from level to level. In the Desert, the canons have a dated look taken from the Middle Ages (top image). They fire out bullets that look like Bullet Bills. If Mario gets hit by one, he gets killed. On the Airplane, cannons are made out of steel and look more contemporary, but their basic function is unchanged (middle image). In later airship levels, some cannons can change their angle of fire: they will now shoot diagonally and upwards (bottom image).
