Using a cannon will allow Kirby to travel across an area, travel to a new area (much like a [[Door]] or [[Warp Star]]), and/or bust through barricades. Cannons have been a common sight in ''Kirby'' series' stage architecture since ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', with more types being gradually added over time. | ||

First appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', these large black cannons are hooked up to a long [[fuse]], which can span an entire area and must be lit at the end using a fire-based attack from Kirby or another playable character. From there, Kirby must make his way to the cannon before the fuse burns out and enter it in time to be fired by it, usually resulting in gaining access to a new area. If Kirby does not make it in time, the fuse will regenerate, and he can (usually) try again. | First appearing in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', these large black cannons are hooked up to a long [[fuse]], which can span an entire area and must be lit at the end using a fire-based attack from Kirby or another playable character.

First appearing in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', these cannons can be linked to a rail, and can be moved along that rail when the player tilts the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system. Once they reach a favorable position, they can be triggered to fire, launching Kirby in much the same way as the Directional Cannons. | |||
There are also varieties of Tilt Cannons which remain locked in place, but can be manually aimed by tilting. | There are also varieties of Tilt Cannons which remain locked in place, but can be manually aimed by tilting. | ||

It is brought in by the [[People of the Sky]], and [[King Dedede]] uses it to fire Kirby at the vines blocking the path to [[Flowered Sectonia]]'s position. Once the obstruction is cleared, Kirby is fired again from this cannon to face Sectonia in the last battle. | ||
The cannon has a full range of tilt-based aiming, though it only fires toward the background. Once Kirby hits a weak point on the vines (or fails to), he rebounds and lands in the cannon again. | The cannon has a full range of tilt-based aiming, though it only fires toward the background.

Because the 3D cannon is only used in the final battle, it can be considered one of the two closest analogues to a [[Last Battle Ability]] in ''Triple Deluxe'' (the other being [[Hypernova]], which is used against Flowered Sectonia's final phase, but also at several other points earlier in the game). | |||
