The Blunderbuss (パイレーツキャノン, Pirate's Cannon) is King K. Rool's neutral special move.
Overview
After becoming his alter ego, Kaptain K. Rool, King K. Rool pulls out a blunderbuss and shoots a Kannonball forward. He can then suck a character, a projectile, or the Kannonball itself (if it's knocked back towards King K. Rool) into the blunderbuss, and spit it back out at a higher angle. He can also reverse his direction to spit them out behind him, or aim upwards to spit them out above him. King K. Rool aesthetically wears the pirate's hat from his disguise of Kaptain K. Rool while using this attack.
Origin
This attack is based on the boss fight against K. Rool in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. In the fight, Diddy and Dixie Kong had to avoid Kannonballs shot by the king, then grab them and throw them into his blunderbuss when he tried to vacuum up the Kongs; if a Kong got close to the blunderbuss as it vacuumed, they would not get sucked inside, but instead K. Rool would strike them with the butt of the gun. Throwing a Kannonball into the blunderbuss as it vacuumed would result in it clogging up and exploding, dealing damage to K. Rool in a comical manner; this also shoots the Kannonball back out at increasing speeds as the fight goes on. The explosion is absent from Ultimate, likely due to not wanting the move to inflict damage on the player.
