'''Kannonballs'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|page 17]].</ref> are large cannonball objects that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', as means of activating a [[Kannon (cannon)|Kannon]] to blast [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] up to a [[Bonus Area]]. It also has a side use for defeating enemies, including stronger ones suc as [[Zinger]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Klinger]]s.
 
==Description==
The Kannonball items have a varying distance from their corresponding Kannon, and some appear in a [[Treasure Chest]]. Upon finding a Kannonball, the [[Kong]]s must pick it up and travel a distance until reaching the Kannon itself. To activate the Kannon, the Kongs must either throw or carry the Kannonball into it. When a Kannonball is used to defeat an enemy, it usually falls to the ground. If a Kannonball falls into a pit, the Kongs cannot re-obtain the Kannonball unless they restart the level.
 
Kannonballs also act as a stage hazard, because the [[Kannon]] enemies fire an indefinite number of them. Unlike [[Barrel]]s, the fired Kannonballs cannot be jumped on, as these objects injure the Kongs upon direct contact. Kannonballs, including spiked ones, are also shot out from [[Kaptain K. Rool]]'s [[blunderbuss]] during both fights in [[K. Rool Duel]] and [[Krocodile Kore]]. As K. Rool is vacuuming them, the Kongs must attack him by throwing the Kannonball back into his vacuum. By doing so, Kaptain K. Rool's blunderbuss backfires and he blasts out the Kannonball, which speeds up as the fight goes on.
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', a single, very large Kannonball is found in [[Gloomy Galleon]] near the entrance/exit. The player must have [[Chunky Kong]] lift this Kannonball and bring it to a nearby Kannon; once the Kannonball is brought to this Kannon, it will activate it. Unlike in their previous appearance, Kannonballs explode and respawn if they hit into something. Using the Kannon, the player must use it to shoot several moving targets in the room they are in, with a limited amount of time and Kannonballs for ammunition. If player hits all the targets with Kannonballs, they will gain a [[Golden Banana]].
