Giant cannonballs are fired from [[giant cannon]]s, and are much faster and bigger than the original [[cannonball]]s. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they appear only in [[Dark Land]]'s [[World 8-Big Tanks|first tank level]] and the [[World 8-Battleships|battleship level]]. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', they appear only in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]'s [[World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Airship]]. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Even though normal cannonballs are absent from ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', giant cannonballs reappear in the level, [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]].

Giant cannonballs are fired from [[giant cannon]]s, and they are bigger than regular [[cannonball]]s. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they appear only in [[Dark Land]]'s [[World 8-Big Tanks|first tank level]] and the [[World 8-Battleships|battleship level]]. Unlike regular cannonballs, they can be defeated using [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]]s. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', giant cannonballs appear only in {{world-link|8|airship|World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Even though normal cannonballs are absent from ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', giant cannonballs reappear in the level [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]].


Giant cannonballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS version]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Cannon with a [[Super Mushroom]], turning it into a giant cannon and enabling it to fire giant cannonballs. The second [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|official course]] created by [[Bowser]], named [[Bowser's Cannonball Run]], involves [[Mario]] running to keep a giant cannonball onscreen until the end.
Giant cannonballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS version]]) and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Cannon with a [[Super Mushroom]], turning it into a giant cannon and enabling it to fire giant cannonballs. Unlike previous games, giant cannonballs are not faster than regular cannonballs by default; the cannon has to be changed from black to red in order to reproduce the faster speed. The second [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|official course]] created by [[Bowser]], named [[Bowser's Cannonball Run]], involves [[Mario]] running to keep a red giant cannonball onscreen until the end.
