The '''Combo Cannon''' (known as '''Main Cannon #2''' in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and also referred to as the '''twin cannon''' in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'') is the main cannon of the Battleship [[Halberd]], located on the ship's main deck. 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 some appearances, a second robotic arm is present which operates a crank that rotates the top turret. 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.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
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]]. In its battle, Kirby can attack and disable the lower gun, 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, and the cannonballs can be swallowed for the [[Yo-Yo]] ability in the SNES original and the Bomb ability in the DS remake. 

In Revenge of Meta Knight, during Kirby's second boarding attempt, the cannon uses its lower gun to shoot him and the [[Warp Star]] down, preventing him from boarding. Later, when Kirby makes a third boarding attempt, this time on the back of [[Dyna Blade]], the lower gun manages to bring down Dyna Blade, though Kirby still successfully boards. As Kirby nears the Halberd's deck, the crew deliberately directs him to face the Combo Cannon head-on, hoping to thwart his progress. Once defeated, the Combo Cannon detonates, causing significant damage to the Halberd's deck.

===''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' / ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''===
[[File:KEY Battleship Halberd screenshot 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Combo Cannon as seen in ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'']]
In the bonus [[Dream Land]] stage [[Battleship Halberd (stage)|Battleship Halberd]], the Combo Cannon is faced as a [[Mid-Boss]] during the course in a yarn version of its typical form. Kirby and [[Prince Fluff]] can engage it by using the [[Star Shooter]] transformation. The battle closely resembles its encounters in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', featuring many of the same attacks. However, the cannon's primary arm, which usually attacks Kirby, is absent, and the floor does not extend. During the battle, [[UFO]]s intermittently appear to attack Kirby. In ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', the cannon reappears as a Mid-Boss in [[Slash and Bead]]'s  [[Slash & Bead - Stage 4|fourth stage]].

===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
{{main|Halberd Mode}}
While not directly seen in use, this cannon is used as the Halberd's primary weapon against [[Star Dream]], where it fires rapid volleys at the rampaging computer. This is supplemented by the Planet Buster, which is an attack that Kirby contributes to.

===''Super Smash Bros. series''===
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
[[File:SSBB Combo Cannon Screenshot.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Combo Cannon firing on the fighters in the Halberd stage of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]
In [[smashwiki:The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], the Combo Cannon is seen a number of times in use on the Halberd, primarily when the Subspace Army is attempting to repulse Star Fox's Arwing attacks. At one point, it uses its robotic arm to grab the Great Fox and slam it into a mountain.

On the Halberd stage, the Combo Cannon is the main stage hazard present once fighters land on the Halberd's deck. It can fire its laser cannon and large volleys at the fighters, and also try to strike them with its robotic arm.

The Combo Cannon also appears as a collectible trophy.

|''"The main gun of the Battleship Halberd. As the name references, it has two guns—the top one shoots out slow-moving shells, and the bottom one fires a powerful laser. There's a mechanical arm at the base that is used to grab enemies and hold them to be blasted by the laser cannon. It has a wide attack range and once shot down Dyna Blade after she aided Kirby."''

|''"This giant cannon is the main weapon of the Battleship Halberd. Any invader will think twice when cannonballs and laser beams are brought to bear. You'll have to be really careful around these weapons, since even the platforms underfoot will try to lift you into the path of the beam. Watch out!"''
|''"This is the main weapon of the Battleship Halberd. Anyone planning to attack it will think twice then they see the cannonballs and laser beams it fires. If Kirby wants to get past this thing safely, he'll have to stay light on his feet. Even the platforms he walks on are out to get him - they'll try to lift him up into the beam! Watch out, Kirby!"''

====''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' & ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
Given the return of the Halberd stage in both of these titles, the Combo Cannon appears as a hazard once again, functioning the same way as before.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Combat Kirby]] episode of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', the Combo Cannon is called the '''Gravity Disruptor''' by [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword Knight]].
*The [[Team Cannon]] from ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' is heavily inspired by this cannon.
*The D3 Cannon used in the [[Dedede Clones & D3]] battle from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' shares design similarities to this cannon.
