New York, New York—what a Koop of a town! Brooklyn is mine! Now to take Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx with my new Crud Cannon!”
King Koopa, "Recycled Koopa"

The Crud Cannon is a weapon owned and presumably built by King Koopa. It is designed to launch garbage over vast distances. In the episode "Recycled Koopa" on The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Koopa plans to mutate all of New York City, let alone the entire human race in the Real World, into Koopa Zombies, other creatures into his minions (e.g., seagulls into Paragoombas and fish into Spiny Cheep-Cheeps), and even statues into reasonable facsimiles of himself, such as the Statue of Liberty, through exposure to the Koopa trash the Koopalings dump into Brooklyn. As Mario begins mutating into a Koopa Zombie himself, Koopa employs the Crud Cannon from the safety of his Doomship to continue his dumping spree. After Luigi cleans the entire city with their Trash Smasher, turning the populace and Mario back to their original forms, he and Mario modify the Trash Smasher to make it flight-capable and chase and scare Koopa and his Crud Cannon out of the city.
