'''Dark Cannons''' are devices wielded by 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 their trophy form. Dark Cannons are mostly used by [[Wario]] and [[Bowser]]; [[Ganondorf]] also uses one late in the story. Even [[Tabuu]] wields a Dark Cannon as one of his attacks.

This item is not available for the player's use in the game; they appear exclusively in cut-scenes. Players can get a trophy of one by clearing Boss Battle mode on Hard difficulty.

Bowser taking aim with his Dark Cannon.

A Dark Cannon (ダークキャノン, Dark Cannon) is a powerful weapon of the Subspace Army. This large and bulky raygun-like weapon vaguely resembles a black draconic head and has the power to reduce a fighter to their trophy form in a single shot.

After a somewhat lengthy charging period, in which the barrel of the weapon glows orange, it fires a thick and black arrow-shaped beam that instantly reduces any fighter it hits to their trophy forms. The shots mainly move in straight lines but can curve slightly in seemingly random directions; should a shot hit something that is not a fighter, it will cause an explosion. Once initially charged up, Dark Cannons can proceed to fire multiple shots in quick succession; the charge time needed seems to lengthen the longer it goes without firing.

Wario firing his Dark Cannon.

Despite its potentially high rate of fire and fast shot speed, Dark Cannons are not very hard to dodge if the target is aware; in fact, the only times the weapon is seen connecting is on targets that are incapacitated or ambushed. They can also only affect one target at a time - once a shot connects, it quickly vanishes after it pierces through the target. As a result, the victim must be quickly taken away from their partners through a very fast escape path such as the Koopa Clown Car to prevent an easy revival. Dark Cannons are also large and unwieldy; they are too heavy for anyone to carry and aim without support.

In Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, Dark Cannons are provided to the accomplices of the Subspace Army. Wario uses his to capture either Peach or Zelda from the Midair Stadium, followed by Ness at The Ruined Zoo. Bowser uses his to capture Donkey Kong and whichever princess Wario did not get; shortly afterwards, a doppelgänger of this princess attempts to use the weapon on either Mario and Pit or Link and Yoshi as the pair passes by The Lake Shore, but is thwarted by the other pair, who destroy the Dark Cannon. Bowser then procures another Dark Cannon and attempts to capture Fox and Diddy Kong, but Falco interrupts him and destroys the weapon with several Blaster shots. Finally, after the Subspace Gunship is destroyed, Ganondorf uses his Dark Cannon to remove Bowser from the picture in his attempt to seize control of the Army.
