The Blunderbuss (パイレーツキャノン, Pirate's Cannon) is King K. Rool's neutral special move.
Overview
K. Rool pulls out a blunderbuss and shoots a Kannonball forward, donning the pirate hat he used in Donkey Kong Country 2.
When special is pressed, King K. Rool will shoot out a Kannonball and discard his hat and Blunderbuss afterwards. The projectile is slow, travels straight for the lenght of 3/4ths of Final Destination and deals 13%. After around 2 seconds, the Kannonball will disappear, allowing for another one to be shot.
If special is held directly after shooting the Kannonball or after King K. Rool discards his hat but while the Kannonball has not yet disappeared, the Blunderbuss will suck air in front of King K. Rool, creating a vortex. He will continue to suck as long as the special button is held for a maximum of 2.5 seconds. King K. Rool can drop through platforms while in this state. If the player's own Kannonball or an opponent comes near it, the Blunderbuss will trap them inside it and King K. Rool shoots them out immediately afterwards. If the Kannonball is shot again, it's damage increases to 17%. If an opponent is shot, it will inflict 12% damage to the victim and turn them into a projectile. The shot can be aimed in 3 directions; up and forward, directly up or up and backwards.
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.
