Clown Cannon, also known as the Steely Cannon[1] is Bowser Jr.'s neutral special. When used, the Koopa Clown Car shoots a cannonball out of its mouth. The cannonball knocks back and damages the first enemy it hits.

Overview

Upon activating the move, the Cannon shall charge; the distance and damage is influenced by the time the move is charged. At close range it inflicts 7% uncharged and 18% fully charged. Over a distance, the damage weakens to 4% uncharged and 13% fully charged. Uncharged, the cannonball goes about half the distance of Battlefield, and fully charged reaches just short of the entirety of Battlefield.

Customization

Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:

  1. Piercing Steely: The cannonball, as the name suggests, can go through multiple targets at the cost of damage; uncharged, damage peaks at 4% and falls to 2%, while fully charged starts at 10% and lowers to 5%.
  2. Vortex Cannon: This variation makes the cannon shoot out air, generating a push effect, and has less range than the standard and piercing shot.

Origin

While the Koopa Clown Car has not been shown to have a cannon, cannonballs are very often launched from cannons on Bowser's tanks, boats, and airships and very large ones were dropped from Bowser's Koopa Clown Car in the Final Battle of Super Mario World.
