The Barrel Cannon is an item found in the Donkey Kong series.

In Super Smash Bros., it appeared in the Kongo Jungle stage. If a player fell into the cannon, it would fire them in a random direction, sometimes saving them from falling, or sometimes launching them to their doom.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee it was an item. It is a barrel used for shooting a character. The barrel is normally found in some levels (for example in the level "Kongo Jungle"), or can be found inside crates.

The Barrel Cannon can be thrown at an opponent. When thrown, the barrel rolls until it touches a character or falls off the arena. If an opponent is captured, the Barrel Cannon will inevitably shoot the fighter in the direction the barrel is pointing.

Interestingly, viewing the Barrel Cannon trophy from the bottom reveals the message "2L84ME" (Too late for me), which is what might go through a character's mind if he or she becomes trapped in a Barrel Cannon.
