Dark Cannons (ダークキャノン, Dark Cannon) are the secondary weapon of the Subspace Army in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary. This large and bulky raygun-like weapon vaguely resembles a draconic head and is capable of reducing a fighter to their trophy form in a single shot.
After a somewhat lengthy charging period, in which the barrel of the weapon glows, it fires an 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 generate 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.
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 group 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.
During the events of The Subspace Emissary, the Dark Cannons are utilized by the Subspace Army's fighter accomplices. 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; shortly afterwards, a doppelgänger of this princess attempts to use the weapon on either Mario and Pit or Link and Yoshi as the duo passes by The Lake Shore, but is thwarted by the opposite pair, who destroys the Dark Cannon. Bowser then attempts to capture Fox and Diddy Kong, but Falco foils him and destroys his Dark Cannon with several shots from his blasters. Finally, following the Subspace Gunship's destruction, Ganondorf uses his Dark Cannon to remove Bowser from the picture in his attempt to seize control of the army.
