It consists of three distinct pieces; a large rotating turret which fires volleys similar to a [[Shotzo]]'s, a lower turret which shoots a powerful laser, and a robotic arm which can grab intruders and drop bombs on them. In most of its appearances in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], this cannon is fought as a [[Boss]] or [[Mid-Boss]], but it has seen other uses as well. | ||

The Combo Cannon is fought as a [[Boss]] in [[Revenge of Meta Knight - Chapter 4|Chapter 4 of]] [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] and in [[The Arena]]. Kirby can attack and disable the lower cannon, but the Combo Cannon can only be defeated by striking its main rotating turret. Doing this can be tricky - especially with no [[Copy Ability]] - but the robotic arm which occasionally tries to grab Kirby may also drop bombs, which can be swallowed for the [[Bomb]] ability. | |||
