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]]. It is shown that once a Dark Cannon is powered up it can fire rapid shots. The Dark Cannon is shown to have a targeting system as the arrow can curve to hit its target, even so an agile smasher like [[Ness (SSBB) |Ness]] and [[Fox (SSBB) |Fox]] can dodge the shots.

Bowser using the Dark Cannon

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 back to their trophy form. 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 Link/Pit. 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.) Dark Cannons can rapid-fire once initially charged up, and their shots can curve, but an aware target can dodge them somewhat easily.

The Dark Cannon Trophy

Although the Dark Cannons were built to turn all the 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, 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. Therefore, it is assumed that False Peach and Zelda were much stronger than the real Peach or Zelda.

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.

Trivia

  • The arrows fired from Dark Cannons look exactly like Pit's arrows, except they are darker and wider.
