'''Cannonballs''' are heavy metal spheres that are launched from [[cannon]]s. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are able to stop the lethal shots by [[stomp]]ing on them in midair; they can also be dodged relatively easily.

Cannonballs appear most prominently in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they are fired from cannons mounted on [[Bowser]]'s [[tank]]s, [[Battleship|boat]]s, and [[airship]]s. [[Giant cannonball]]s also appear, fired from [[giant cannon]]s.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', '''kannonballs'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, {{media link|DKC2 Manual 16-17.jpg|page 17}}.</ref> or '''Kannon Balls'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, page 3.</ref> appear as means of activating a [[cannon|kannon]] to blast the [[Kong]]s up to a [[Bonus Area]]. It also has a side use for defeating enemies, including stronger ones such as [[Zinger]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Klinger]]s. The kannonballs have a varying distance from their corresponding kannon, and some appear in a [[treasure chest]]. Upon finding a kannonball, the [[Kong]]s must pick it up and travel a distance until reaching the kannon itself. To activate the kannon, the Kongs must either throw or carry the kannonball into it. When a kannonball is used to defeat an enemy, the Kongs usually lose grip, and the kannonball falls onto the ground. If a kannonball falls into a pit, the Kongs cannot get it back unless they restart the level.

Kannonballs also act as a stage hazard, because the [[Kannon]] enemies fire an indefinite number of them. Unlike [[barrel]]s, the fired kannonballs cannot be jumped on, as these objects injure the Kongs upon direct contact. Kannonballs, including spiked ones, are also shot out from [[Kaptain K. Rool]]'s [[blunderbuss]] during both fights in [[K. Rool Duel]] and [[Krocodile Kore]]. As K. Rool is vacuuming them, the Kongs attack him by throwing the kannonball back into his vacuum. By doing so, Kaptain K. Rool's blunderbuss backfires and he blasts out the kannonball.
