'''Kannons''' are large [[cannon]]-wielding members of the [[Kremling Krew]] first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Kannons are common enemies, and attack by shooting [[barrel]]s or [[Cannonball|kannonball]]s at the [[Kong]]s in whatever direction they're facing, either forward or downward. Kannons can be found in several levels, but mostly underground areas. Despite being large and burly, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can easily defeat a Kannon with any attack method. In the ending cast of characters, a Kannon appears under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class. | |||
According to the instruction booklet, Kannons are simply [[Klump]]s trained to use such weapons.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest Instruction Booklet'', Nintendo, 1995, p. 29, SNS-ADNE-USA. "It looks like Klump can shoot!"</ref> However, while normal Klumps wear army gear (green helmet, grenade belt, etc.) Kannons wear more of a pirate ensemble, such as earrings, a large belt, and a large black hat with a skull and cross-bones on it. Also, Kannons seem to have distinct ears. | |||

Kannons in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' behave similarly as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They once again first appear in the game's equivalent of their namesake level, [[Kannon's Klaim (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Kannon's Klaim]]. | |||

A Kannon makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Kannon. | |||
