'''Cannons''' are used to fire all kinds of projectiles in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, including other characters. They have a more generic appearance and use than [[Bill Blaster]]s, which specifically shoot out [[Bullet Bill]]s. Cannons are usually part of the environment and cannot be destroyed.

In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', there are very few Cannons,<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 13.</ref> most of which are operated by [[Monty Mole]]s. These cannons are completely red in color, have a large dome shape, and have three openings from which multiple [[Bullet Bill]]s, Purple Bullet Bills, and [[Gold Bullet Bill|Golden Bullet Bill]]s can be shot. They effectively take the place of [[Bill Blaster]]s in this regard. When Mario approaches the cannons, the Monty Moles cease firing Bullet Bills at him, and instead begin pelting Mario with multiple [[Bob-omb]]s, 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 [[Cannon Pianta|Pianta mechanic]] working inside it tells 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 Park|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 is automatically shot to the island, without needing to aim first.

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 {{button|wii|Wiimote}} to aim. The {{button|wii|A}} 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 keeps going in a straight line and can lose a life if shot out of the gameplay area, as he does not fall down unless he hits a surface.

In the ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the player can no longer pan the camera while in cannons by holding down {{button|wii|Z}} and moving the controller away from the screen, due to the lack of a Sensor Bar.

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 Star]]s. In the [[Throwback Galaxy]], the cannon from [[Whomp's Fortress]] is replaced by a [[Sling Star]]. Cannons in these games are mostly the same as the original, but there is a target to land on. If the hero manages to hit the center, he gets an [[extra life]].

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.

Cannons reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' in all styles. They fire [[cannonball]]s once more, and can be set in one of eight directions. The game introduces a red variation that fires red cannonballs which travel faster. Adding a [[Super Mushroom]] makes it [[giant cannon|larger]]. Unlike [[Bill Blaster]]s, items and enemies cannot be placed inside a cannon; therefore, it can only shoot cannonballs. They can be defeated by big [[Goomba's Shoe|Stiletto]]s.

====''Super Mario Run''====
In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', cannons are timed to fire [[cannonball]]s at specific moments during their on-screen duration. This careful timing can be used to gain height from the air when playing [[Airship]] levels (2-4, 4-4, 6-3). They spawn in single sets, but also double and triples, giving players more space to bounce off of when facing a barrage of cannonballs.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], cannons appear in a variety of forms. In the [[Desert]], the cannons have a dated look taken from the Middle Ages (the image on the left); on the [[Airplane]], cannons are made out of steel and look more contemporary (middle image). Both types of cannons retain the same basic function and fire out bullets that look like [[Bullet Biff]]s, acting similar to the seed-spitting [[Dōryī]] except they sometimes fire two shots at a time. In later Airplane levels, different cannons charge up energy balls and routinely change their angle of fire, shooting diagonally and upwards as well (the image on the right). If Mario gets hit by any of their projectiles, he loses a life.
