Template:Item-infobox The Cannon Box[1] is an item that appears in Super Mario 3D World. Cannon Boxes are first found as ? Blocks, but after being hit once, the actual Cannon Box is revealed.

While using a Cannon Box, characters continually fire cannonballs from a cannon on the front of the box. If the player holds X Button/Y Button/One Button/B Button, the cannon can be charged, which increases the distance they travel and allows the player to hold their fire.

Some Cannon Boxes, called Cannons, act as obstacles that keep shooting cannonballs to harm the player. These can be turned into wearable boxes if struck from below or hit with a cannonball. Cannon Boxes are similar to Propeller Boxes in how they are obtained and how they are used.

Cannon Boxes will be added to Super Mario Maker 2 in the World Maker update released on April 22, 2020, appearing in the Super Mario 3D World style. Like in Super Mario 3D World, they can be charged for longer-ranged shots.[2]
