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|{{KSS KFP}}]]'') is the primary weapon 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 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.

In some appearances, a second robotic arm is present which operates a crank that rotates the top turret.

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 of the [[Halberd]], the cannon uses its lower gun to shoot him and the [[Warp Star]] down, preventing him from boarding. Later, as Kirby makes a third boarding attempt, this time riding on [[Dyna Blade]], the lower gun succeeds in taking down Dyna Blade. Nevertheless, Kirby manages to board. 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.

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]].

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.
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 may also try to strike them with the robotic arm.
