Lava cannon

A lava cannon is a red and yellow cannon with a skull icon appearing in Super Mario Odyssey. It can only be activated by entering it as a captured Lava Bubble. After activating a lava cannon, Mario will be launched far in the direction the cannon is facing.

Several lava cannons are found in the game, the vast majority of which are found in the Luncheon Kingdom, though one also appears in the Darker Side. In the Luncheon Kingdom, the first pair of lava cannons appears after Mario obtains the "Big Pot on the Volcano: Dive In!" Multi Moon and transports Mario between the Odyssey's location and the Salt-Pile Isle. The second pair of lava cannons can be found immediately afterward, which transports Mario between the Salt-Pile Isle and the cheese rock area near Peronza Plaza. The remaining lava cannons transport Mario to the top of the stew pot on Mount Volbono so that he can initially reach Cookatiel and obtain the "Cookatiel Showdown!" Multi Moon. In the Darker Side, Mario uses a lava cannon to transport himself between the first and second segments in the area.
