Sky Cannon

Sky Cannons are a type of cannon in Mario Pinball Land. They are used to blast Mario to different levels. To use one, the player must use the flippers to make Mario hit it, causing it to lower, and then hit him toward it so he rolls into it. Hitting a Sky Cannon grants 1,000 points. If the player does not want Mario to enter it, they must press and, after which the Sky Cannon returns aboveground. After Mario enters the Sky Cannon, the player can choose a level to go to.

Initially, a Sky Cannon appears in the Fun Fair. However, after the player obtains a Star Key from a boss in another level, a Sky Cannon replaces the ? Block in that level's first area. In the Fiery Stage, a Sky Cannon appears by default in the main foyer.

The Sky Cannon in the Fun Fair can also be used to shoot Bob-ombs at the target in the top right corner for points during the bonus game after Bowser is defeated. The Sky Cannon needs to be activated the same as before but with Bob-ombs. Unlike Mario, Bob-ombs automatically enter the Sky Cannon instead of rolling into it. After the Sky Cannon returns aboveground, the player can shoot any Bob-ombs it contains at the target. If the Sky Cannon contains no Bob-ombs when it returns aboveground, the player can simply try again if they have any more of them.
