A '''Dark Cannon''' is a device wielded by high-ranking members of the [[Subspace Army]] during [[The Subspace Emissary]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. With a single hit from its black, arrow-like laser, any character will be reverted to his/her trophy form. Dark Cannons are mostly used by [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]] although [[Ganondorf]] also uses one late in the story. (Two of these three Dark Cannons were destroyed.) [[Tabuu]] does not use a Dark Cannon, since his Off Waves have the same [[one-hit KO]] effect. (However, another one of his attacks visually resembles a Dark Cannon's design.) Dark Cannons can rapid-fire once initially charged up, and their shots can curve, but an aware target can dodge them somewhat easily.

A Dark Cannon.

A Dark Cannon is a device wielded by high-ranking members of the Subspace Army during The Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. With a single hit from its black, arrow-like laser, any character will be reverted to his/her trophy form. Dark Cannons are mostly used by Wario and Bowser although Ganondorf also uses one late in the story. Also, False Zelda/Peach wielded one, however it was destroyed by Link/Pit. Another Dark Cannon belonging to Bowser was destroyed by Falco.)

Tabuu does not use a Dark Cannon, since his Off Waves have the same one-hit KO effect. (However, another one of his attacks visually resembles a Dark Cannon's design.) Dark Cannons can rapid-fire once initially charged up, and their shots can curve, but an aware target can dodge them somewhat easily.

Although the Dark Cannons were built to turn all the Smashers into trophies, they could only target one person at a time. This forced those with Dark Cannons to take the trophyized Smashers away from their group to prevent an easy revival. The Smashers that were hit by a Dark Cannon at some point include Peach, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Ness, Diddy Kong and Bowser.

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 use them properly.

Trophy Description

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.
