This large | A '''Dark Cannon''' ({{ja|ダークキャノン|Dāku Kyanon}}, ''Dark Cannon'') is a powerful weapon of the [[Subspace Army]]. This large, bulky weapon vaguely resembles a black dragon head and has the power to turn characters into [[trophies]] in a single shot. | ||

The shots mainly move in straight lines but can curve slightly in seemingly random directions; should a shot hit something that cannot be turned into a trophy, it will cause an explosion. Once initially charged up, Dark Cannons can proceed to fire multiple shots in quick succession; the charge time needed seems to lengthen the longer it goes without firing. | ||

Despite its potentially high rate of fire and fast shot speed, Dark Cannons are not very hard to dodge if the target is aware; in fact, the only times the weapon is seen connecting is on targets that are incapacitated or ambushed. They can also only affect one target at a time - once a shot connects, it quickly fades away even if it pierces through the target. As a result, the victim must be quickly taken away from their partners through a very fast escape path such as the [[Koopa Clown Car]] to prevent an easy revival. Dark Cannons are also large and unwieldy; they are too heavy for a normal human to carry and aim without support. | Despite its potentially high rate of fire and fast shot speed, Dark Cannons are not very hard to dodge if the target is aware; in fact, the only times the weapon is seen connecting is on targets that are incapacitated or ambushed.

Wario uses his to capture either {{SSBB|Peach}} or {{SSBB|Zelda}} from the [[Midair Stadium]], followed by {{SSBB|Ness}} at [[The Ruined Zoo]]. Bowser uses his to capture {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} and whichever princess Wario did not get; shortly afterwards, a [[false character|false version]] of this princess attempts to use the weapon on either {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Pit}} or {{SSBB|Link}} and {{SSBB|Yoshi}} as the pair passes by [[The Lake Shore]], but is thwarted by the other pair, who destroy the Dark Cannon. Bowser then procures another Dark Cannon and attempts to capture {{SSBB|Fox}} and {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}, but {{SSBB|Falco}} interrupts him and destroys the weapon with several [[Blaster]] shots. Finally, after the [[Subspace Gunship]] is destroyed, {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} uses a Dark Cannon to remove Bowser from the picture in his attempt to seize control of the Army. | ||
