-A '''Kaboomba''' is a walking cannon enemy found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They shoot cannonballs that explode after a few seconds. Kaboombas only appear in [[The Cave of the Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael the Raven]]'s Castle. Stomping them lets you ride on them, and eating them does nothing. An egg or ground pound disposes of them.

In all of their appearances, they attack by shooting heavy [[cannonball]]s that fall to the ground and explode after a few seconds. Their name seems to be a portmanteau of "kaboom" and "[[Goomba]]", despite Kaboombas having no relation to Goombas other than being walking enemies.
+==History==
+===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
+In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' games]], a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can safely stand on a Kaboomba, and while he cannot eat it, Yoshi can defeat it with an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] or a [[Ground Pound]].
-Kaboombas would go on to be featured in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' under the name "'''[[Cannon]]'''". The [[Calm Cannon]], a sleeping variety of Kaboomba, also appeared.
+In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Kaboombas appear only in [[The Cave Of The Mystery Maze]] and [[Raphael The Raven's Castle]], while in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Kaboombas appear in [[Bowser's Castle Break-In]].
-It is interesting to note that the name "Kaboomba" is a portmanteau of the words "Kaboom!" (onomatopoeia for an explosion) and [[Goomba]]. Due to the Kaboombas' lack of similarities with Goombas, though, the name "Kaboomba" may just be a form of "Kaboom!". It is also worth noting that the [[Kaboomka Fireworks Factory]] was named in a similar style.
+===''Super Princess Peach''===
+{{rewrite-expand|section=y|add level appearances}}
+Kaboombas also appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they are named '''Cannons'''. The [[Calm Cannon]], a sleeping variety, also appears.
