 Bowser Jr. using Clown Cannon in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. | |
| User | Bowser Jr. |
| Universe | Mario |
Clown Cannon (クラウンキャノン, Clown Cannon) is Bowser Jr.'s neutral special.
Overview[edit]
When using the Clown Cannon, the Junior Clown Car shoots a cannonball out of its mouth. The cannonball knocks back and damages the first enemy it hits.
Upon activating the move, the Cannon will charge; the distance and damage is influenced by the time the move is charged. At close range, it inflicts 8.5% uncharged and 20% fully charged. Over a distance, the damage weakens to 5.9% uncharged and 14% fully charged. Uncharged, the cannonball goes about half the distance of Final Destination, and fully charged reaches just short of the entirety of Final Destination.
In Ultimate, after traveling straight, the cannonball will begin to fall. The cannonball retains its hitbox, allowing a falling cannonball to assist in edgeguarding. In addition, a falling cannonball has a hitbox that deals significant shield damage; a cannonball that hits both while falling and with its grounded hitbox can nearly break a full shield.
The endlag of firing a cannonball can be canceled by grabbing the ledge (facing either towards or away).

Origin[edit]
Cannons as seen in both Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario All-Stars.
Cannonballs have been very often launched from cannons on Bowser's airships, tanks, and boats in Super Mario Bros. 3; very large ones, known as Big Steelies, were dropped from Bowser's Koopa Clown Car in the final battle in Super Mario World. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, during the third boss battle against Bowser Jr., he uses Bowser's Koopa Clown Car and fires spiked, explosive cannonballs from its cannon.
In usual Super Mario games, the cannonball itself flies through the air in an uninterrupted, straight line. In Super Smash Bros., however, the cannonball visibly spins around while moving through the air, a behavior instead exhibited by cannonballs fired by Shotzos from the Kirby universe.
