Dark Cannon

Dark Cannons are powerful weapons that first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl during the Subspace Emissary. They are large, bulky cannons somewhat resembling a dragon's head that have the power to turn fighters into Trophies with a single shot.
After a somewhat lengthy charge period, where the "mouth" glows orange, the Dark Cannon fires a black, arrow-shaped beam. The shots particularly fly straight, but can also curve in seemingly random directions. As mentioned, the shots can turn fighters into Trophies; should they hit something that cannot be turned into a Trophy, an explosion will occur instead. Once charged up, Dark Cannons can proceed to fire multiple shots in quick succession. However, shots can only hit one fighter at a time despite seeming piercing through them; because of this, the victim's Trophy must quickly be taken from their allies to prevent an easy revival.
==History==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Dark Cannons first appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl during the Subspace Emissary. They were provided to the field fighter accomplices in the Subspace Amry: Bowser, Wario, and Ganondorf.
Wario uses his Dark Cannon to capture either Princess Peach or Princess Zelda at Midair Stadium, followed by Ness at The Ruined Zoo. Bowser then captures Donkey Kong, followed by whichever princess Wario didn't capture shortly after. A false version of this princess uses a Dark Cannon themselves to capture either Mario and Pit or Link and Yoshi, only to have it be destroyed by the opposite group. Bowser also tries to use his Dark Cannon to capture Fox and Diddy Kong, though Falco uses his Blasters to destroy it, forcing Bowser to retreat. Finally, after Bowser and Ganondorf retreat into Subspace, the latter uses his Dark Cannon to turn Bowser into a trophy, removing him from the picture so he can seize control of the army.
==Appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Charged===
Dark Cannons appear in Super Smash Bros. Charged as items. They can be picked up and be used to shoot arrow-like projectiles. The move can also be charged for them to fly further. Should a projectile hit an opponent, they will be turned into a Trophy. In this state, they can be picked up and thrown like items, either to attack opponents or KO them by throwing them off-stage. Victims can escape their Trophy state quicker via button mashing. The Dark Cannon can fire five shots before disappearing.
