'''Giant Cannonballs''' are very rare moving obstacles found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They are much faster and bigger than the original [[Cannonball]]s, making them harder to avoid. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they only appear in [[Dark Land]]'s first [[Tank]] [[World 8-Big Tanks|level]] and the [[Battleship]] [[World 8-Battleships|level]]. The [[Cannon]]s that fire the giant cannonballs resemble [[Warp Pipe]]s, but they are colored black (blue in remakes) so as to not confuse the player. In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', they only appear in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]'s [[World 8-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|Airship]]. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', they only appear in [[The Mighty Cannonship]] from [[Soda Jungle]]. Even though normal cannonballs are absent during ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', Giant Cannonballs reappear in the level [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]].

Giant Cannonballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Cannon with a [[Super Mushroom]], which will enable it to fire Giant Cannonballs. The second [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|official course]] created by [[Bowser]], named [[Bowser's Cannonball Run]], involves [[Mario]] running to keep a Giant Cannonball on-screen until the end.
