{{quote|This indestructible cannon packs quite a wallop!|[[Patch Plaza]] description of '''Shotzo''' from ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''.}}
'''Shotzo''' is an impregnable, projectile-spitting foe and one of [[Kirby]]'s oldest and most commonly-occurring [[Enemy|enemies]], making is debut appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. They look like cannons made of black metal and attack by shooting cannon balls at Kirby. While most Shotzos are unable to move, they sometimes drop from the sky on [[Parasol (enemy)|Parasols]]. Regular Shotzos come in two variants: One that sternly keeps facing in one direction, and one that constantly adjusts its aim to hit Kirby. The non-aiming Shotzos often fire whole barrages of cannon balls, only stopping at short intervals. Shotzos cannot typically be directly destroyed. However, they can be dropped into a bottomless pit if they happen to stand on a [[Star Block]].

===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KDL2 Shotzo sprite.png|left]]
[[File:KDL Invincible Candy defeating a Shotzo.png|frame|right|Kirby using the [[Invincible Candy]] to defeat a Shotzo]]
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', Shotzo looks and acts like in all its subsequent appearances: A cannon that shoots cannonballs at [[Kirby]], often firing three and then pausing. It can only be killed either by the [[Mike (item)|Microphone]], or while Kirby is under the effect of the [[Invincible Candy]] by standing in one for a few seconds. This can be seen in [[Castle Lololo]] where the Invincible Candy and a Shotzo exist in the same room.

In the [[Extra Game]], Shotzos are all replaced by [[Blatzy]]s.

===''Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Shotzo sprite.png]] [[File:KNiDL Shotzo sprite.png]] Shotzos also appear as enemies in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''. Aside from [[Gordo]]s, Shotzos are the other undefeatable enemy, and do not reward any [[Copy Ability]], even for their cannonballs.

[[File:K64 Shotzo Sprite.png]]
Shotzos make their debut 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. These cannon-like enemies situate themselves within drop-holes, areas of low terrain, and interestingly, even exist as part of the background in few select stages, shooting small bullets at Kirby from afar. Regardless of location, these enemies cannot be defeated or ingested, and thus must be avoided if Kirby is to escape injury-free. A wall-mounted version of this standard foe, the [[Wall Shotzo]], also appears.

Due to being invulnerable, Shotzo cannot be possessed by [[Ghost]] Kirby.

Shotzos also appear in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirby's]] [[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn|(Extra)]] [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Epic Yarn]]'' as a somewhat uncommon enemy who, much like previous games, is indestructible. Unlike with many other foes in the game, its shots can not be grabbed by the Yarn Whip. A variation of Shotzo can be found in Snow Land's [[Evergreen Lift]] stage named [[Freezo]] that shoots snowballs.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
[[File:KRtDL Shotzo.jpg|thumb|A Shotzo in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
Shotzo returns in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|its remake]], functioning like it has done in earlier Kirby games. It is accompanied by its new much larger relatives, [[Gigatzo]], [[Volttzo]] and [[Coldtzo]], who cannot aim, but fire huge elemental projectiles. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', Shotzo also appears as a book pattern in the [[sub-game]] [[Magolor's Tome Trackers]].

===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
Shotzo appears in the [[New Challenge Stages]], serving the same purpose as it did in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. Being indestructible, 'defeating' it is not necessary to earn the bonus for defeating all enemies.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
Shotzo appears again in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', keeping its look from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. In this iteration, its stand-out feature is the ability to aim between the foreground and background.

Shotzo also appears as a randomly-obtained [[Keychain]], depicted as its [[sprite]] from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
{{quote|Shotzo can fire a ton of bullets, true. But other than that, it's not really all that scary. It's strong physically, but it doesn't have the same strength of character as Kirby.|[[Figurine]] description from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''.}}
Shotzo appears again in ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'', behaving the same as in past games. Like in ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', its cannonballs can be blocked by rainbow ropes.

In ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'', Shotzo only appears in the stage [[Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff]].

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Shotzo appears yet again in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', behaving the same as in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''.

===''Kirby's Blowout Blast''===
Shotzo appears in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'', and is able to re-aim in several different ways, both horizontally and vertically if needed. Kirby does not need to do anything to Shotzos to gain the bonus for defeating all enemies.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
[[File:KSA Shotzo.jpg|thumb|150px|A Big Shotzo in ''Kirby Star Allies'']]
Shotzo reappears in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. Here, it has the same behavior as in previous installments, though it now has a rougher surface texture.

A larger, more bulbous variety of Shotzo, referred to as "Big Shotzo" in the files, also appears in this game. Big Shotzos behave similarly to the non-aiming Shotzos, and shoot larger cannonballs.

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===
[[File:KatFL Shotzo screenshot.png|thumb|150px|Shotzo in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'']]
Shotzo returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', with the same properties as usual. While it keeps its rough surface texture from ''Kirby Star Allies'', its sheen is noticeably duller, with more of a matte surface rather than its previous glossy finish.

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
Shotzo returns as an enemy in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', with the appearance of a chocolate pastry with sprinkles on top. It can be seen positioned on race courses, where it regularly fires bullets that can impede the racers. Shotzo's bullets have the appearance of hard candy, and will stun Kirby for a short time if he collides with one.

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''===
Shotzo can appear as an enemy in [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]], where it acts much the same as it does in the home series, and is invulnerable. Shotzo also appears as a collectible trophy:

{|class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"
!Image
!American English Description
!British English Desription
|-
|[[File:ShotzoTrophy3DS.png|130px|center]]
|''"These cannons from the Kirby series could track Kirby and fire at him. In Smash Bros., there are two different kinds: ones that fire in a set direction and ones that will track and fire at a fighter. Don't waste time attacking these guys, though—it's impossible to defeat them."''
|''"Not all of these cannons from the Kirby series are stuck to the ground – some float in with parasols, and some can even move on their own! In Smash Run, some fire in a fixed direction, while others will aim at you. They're invincible, but they also can't shoot through each other. Keep that in mind when you come across them!"''

|}

==Trivia==
*While not formally established until ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', Shotzo's base is made to resemble feet similar to those of Kirby's. This and descriptions of the enemy give the implication that Shotzos are actually living creatures much like other enemies.
**Despite these feet, Shotzo has never been shown to be able to move on its own, with most mobile examples being those attached to [[Parasol (enemy)|Parasols]].
