| '''Giant cannonballs'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 100. "''When you drop to the area on the large turret's right, leap over the giant cannonball before you leap over the water to the next ship.''"</ref>, also referred to as '''massive cannon balls'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 99. "''Leap on the turret that's grazing on the ground, wait for the turret above to fire a massive cannon ball, then land on the turret top and deal with another Rocky Wrench.''"</ref>, '''enormous cannonballs'''<ref>Peterson, Erik. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide. Page 116. "''The two massive cannons fire equally enormous cannonballs at supersonic speeds. You can jump on top of them to disarm them, but it’s much safer simply to leap over them.''"</ref>, or '''huge bullets'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 75. "'''''Bring Out The Big Guns!''' This giant cannon shoots two huge bullets in rapid succession. Either jump on its barrel or duck quickly!''"</ref>, 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.
