Kannon (cannon)

A Kannon is an object found in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. To activate a Kannon, Diddy and Dixie Kong must throw a Kannonball into it, and then enter it; it launches the Kongs to a Bonus Area. They first appear in Mainbrace Mayhem, and only appear in levels with Kannonballs (not being shot). There is also a Kremling enemy named Kannon, whose name is based on the Kannon it carries around.

A single Kannon appears in Donkey Kong 64 in the Gloomy Galleon stage. To use it, Chunky Kong must put a Kannonball into it. He must use the Kannon to fire Kannonballs at moving targets on the wall. By firing at enough of them, Chunky is awarded with a Golden Banana.
