Cloud Cannon

Cloud Cannons are objects that appear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury and bear a striking resemblance to Lakitu's Clouds. When a player jumps into a Cloud Cannon, the cloud will produce a white Pipe Cannon that shoots the player into a Coin Heaven, which usually gives the player a Super Star or a Potted Piranha Plant used to run through a group of enemies and receive a Green Star at the end.

A Cloud Cannon first appears in Mount Beanpole, where the player must activate a Cat Wheel to reach it. Cloud Cannons replace the similarly-functioning Super Note Blocks that appeared in Super Mario 3D Land.

In Bowser's Fury, Cloud Cannons lead to bonus areas where Mario has to defeat a group of Cat Biddybuds and Cat Para-Biddybuds with a Super Star. When they are all defeated, a Cat Shine appears at the end.
