'''Giant cannons'''<ref>{{cite|date=June 1990|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=75|quote='''Bring Out The Big Guns!''' This giant cannon shoots two huge bullets in rapid succession. Either jump on its barrel or duck quickly!}}</ref> appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as objects that shoot [[giant cannonball]]s. These mega-sized [[cannon]]s appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they are large horizontal cannons that resemble dark [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, though in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', giant cannons have been redesigned and are capable of facing in eight directions. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Maker'' and its sequel, giant cannons do not shoot out giant cannonballs at a faster speed than their regular-sized counterparts; this functionality has been moved to red cannons, which can be regular or giant-sized.
