Kaboombas[1] are walking cannon enemies first appearing in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In all of their appearances, they attack by shooting heavy cannonballs that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Their name seems to be a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "Goomba", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.
History
Yoshi's Island series
In the Yoshi's Island games, a Yoshi can safely stand on a Kaboomba, and while he cannot eat it, Yoshi can defeat it with an egg or a Ground Pound.
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Kaboombas appear only in The Cave Of The Mystery Maze and Raphael The Raven's Castle, while in Yoshi's New Island, Kaboombas appear in Bowser's Castle Break-In.
Super Princess Peach
It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: add level appearances
Kaboombas also appear in Super Princess Peach, where they are named Cannons. The Calm Cannon, a sleeping variety, also appears.
Unused appearances
Super Mario World
Kaboombas and an unused big variant were originally designed during the development of Super Mario World,[2] where they would have shot Green Shells.[3] They would have had white shoes, which also appear in early assets of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.[4]
