Giant cannonball

Giant Cannonballs are moving obstacles found in Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They are much faster and bigger than the original Cannonballs, making them much harder to avoid. They always appear alongside (or in the same stage as) the smaller Cannonballs too. In Super Mario Bros. 3, they only appear in Dark Land in stages with Tanks. The Cannons that fire the giant cannonballs resemble Pipes, but they are coloured black to not confuse the player. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, they only appear in World 8's Airship. They acted like they did in Super Mario Bros. 3.
