Changes: Dark Cannon

Revision as of 06:00, 25 October 2018

A Dark Cannon is a weapon wielded by high-ranking members of the Subspace Army during The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It can fire dark, arrow-shaped beams that revert any character they hit to their trophy form. Dark Cannons can rapid-fire once initially charged up, and their shots can curve, but an aware target can dodge them somewhat easily. These shots can cause explosions as well, as seen in a cutscene when Bowser attempted to shoot Fox and Diddy Kong.

About the Dark Cannon

Dark Cannons are very large and unwieldy; despite Falco being able to kick one high into the air, only characters of above-average strength can carry them properly, based on the difficulty False Peach/Zelda can carry one.

Dark Cannons are mostly used by Wario and Bowser, although Ganondorf also uses one late in the story. False Zelda/Peach wielded one, however it was destroyed by Pit/Link. The Dark Cannon belonging to Bowser was destroyed by Falco. Tabuu does not need to use a Dark Cannon, since his Off Waves have the same, if not more devastating, effect. However, another one of his attacks visually resembles a Dark Cannon's design.

Although the Dark Cannons were built to turn all the characters into trophies, they could only target one person at a time. Due to the brawlers' ability to revive a trophy by touching its baseplate, the trophies then had to be taken away from their groups, along with finding an extremely fast escape path, such as the Koopa Clown Car to prevent them from being easily revived. The characters that were hit by a Dark Cannon at some point include Peach, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Ness, Diddy Kong and Bowser.

Trophy Description

File:42B67C7F-170D-479F-A7A8-DF4044BFE568.png

In this world, those who fall in battle return to their forms as trophies. This Dark Cannon is powerful enough to turn a fighter back into a trophy with a single shot. Originally created by the Subspace Army, they were then given to Bowser and Wario for the purpose of collecting fighters who exist in this world.

Trivia

Fox and Ness were the only characters shown to have been able to dodge one of the cannon's blasts.

-Although the Dark Cannons were built to turn all the [[Character|characters]] into trophies, they could only target one person at a time. This forced those with Dark Cannons to take the trophyized fighters away from their groups to prevent them from being easily revived. The characters that were hit by a Dark Cannon at some point include [[Peach (SSBB)|Peach]], [[Zelda (SSBB)|Zelda]], [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]], [[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]], [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]] and [[Bowser (SSBB)|Bowser]].

Therefore, it is assumed that [[False Character#False Princesses|False Peach and Zelda]] were much stronger than the real Peach or Zelda.
