 '''Cannonballs''' are heavy metal spheres that are launched from [[cannon]]s. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are able to stop the lethal shots by [[stomp]]ing on them in midair; they can also be dodged relatively easily.

+===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
+====''Donkey Kong Country''====
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', cannonballs are summoned by [[King K. Rool]] during his battle, falling across the length of [[Gang-Plank Galleon]] from one end to the other, returning the other way for each further time he is hit.
+====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
+[[File:Diddy_KannonBall.png|thumb|[[Diddy Kong]] throwing a kannonball]]
+In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', '''kannonballs'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page={{media link|DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|17}}}}</ref> or '''Kannon Balls'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=3}}</ref> appear as means of activating a [[cannon|kannon]] to blast the [[Kong]]s up to a [[Bonus Area]]. It also has a side use for defeating enemies, including stronger ones such as [[Zinger]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Klinger]]s. The kannonballs 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, the Kongs usually lose grip, and the kannonball falls onto the ground. If a kannonball falls into a pit, the Kongs cannot get it back 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 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.
+===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''===
+In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', large cannonballs are fired by [[Kaboomba]]s. These ones are so heavy that they fall to the ground almost immediately after being fired.
-===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
+===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
-Cannonballs appear again in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where they are fired at the Mario Bros. by [[Gunner Guy]]s in battle. They reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as one of the methods of attack for [[Shy Guy Airtub]]s, and their stronger relative, the [[Shy Guy Airtub DX]].

Tab 9: "Progressing Through Stages".</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' issue 47|page=46}}</ref> make a reappearance, functioning identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
+===''Donkey Kong 64''===
+In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', a single, very large cannonball appears in [[Gloomy Galleon]] near the entrance/exit. The player must have [[Chunky Kong]] lift this cannonball and bring it to a nearby cannon; once the cannonball is brought to this cannon, it will activate it. These cannonballs explode if they hit into something. Using the cannon, the player must use it to shoot several moving targets in the room they are in, with a limited amount of time and cannonballs for ammunition. If player hits all the targets with cannonballs, they will gain a [[Golden Banana]].
 ===''Wario World''===

+In ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', cannonballs are shot from [[Mini Elephant Cannon]]s and other [[Tusk]]s, exploding when they hit any surface. They also rain from the sky during the first segment of [[Battle for Storm Hill]]. The ones shot by [[Torch Tusk]] in its second phase can create shockwaves of fire that cover the platforms where they land.
