| | '''Kannons''' are large cannon-wielding members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. Kannons resemble [[Klump]]s, another type of [[Kremling]] from the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Kannons attack by shooting [[barrel]]s or [[kannonball]]s at the Kongs in whatever direction their facing, either forward or downward. Kannons can be found in several levels, but mostly caves. Despite being large and burly Kannons can be defeated with a simple jump on the head. |

| '''Kannons''' are large [[cannon]]-wielding members of the [[Kremling Krew]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are actually [[Klump]]s trained to use such weapons.<ref name="engmanual">{{cite|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page=29|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995}}</ref> However, while normal Klumps wear army gear (green helmet, grenade belt, etc.) Kannons wear more of a pirate ensemble, such as earrings, a large belt, and a large black hat with a skull and cross-bones on it. Kannons also have different ears. | |

| ==History==
| | As mentioned above Kannons resemble Klumps a great deal, but whereas Klumps wear army gear (green helmet, grenade belt, etc.) Kannons wear more of a pirate ensemble such as earings, a large belt and large black hat with a skull and cross-bones on it. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
| |
| Kannons are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They attack by shooting [[barrel]]s or [[Cannonball|kannonball]]s at the [[Kong]]s in whatever direction they are facing, either forward or downward. Kannons can be found in several levels, but mostly underground areas. Despite being large and burly, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can easily defeat a Kannon with any attack method. In the ending cast of characters, a Kannon appears under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kannon's defeat sound effect uses the same voice clip as [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. | |
|
| |
|
| Kannon's original name the [[List of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest pre-release and unused content|game's development]] was "Klumpa."
| | == Trivia == |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | * [[Kaptain Skurvy]], a character from the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] animated series resembles a Kannon. |
| Kannons are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are first encountered in the game's equivalent of their namesake level, [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Kannon's Klaim]]. Kannons behave similarly as in the previous game.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | * Like [[Kloak]]s it is unknown where Kannons keep their apparently unlimited amount of ammo. |
| A Kannon makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Kannon.

| *[[Kaptain Skurvy]], a character from the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], resembles a Kannon. The only obvious difference is that Skurvy has a hand-cannon instead of a cannon, but it is still large enough to fire small cannonballs.
