The move around the area, and attack Yoshi by shooting small cannonballs that fly in an arc. They do not travel very far, but they do explode on impact, which can damage Yoshi if he is in the blast radius. Yoshi is able to stand on them to get a ride, and he can defeat them by using a Ground Pound or throwing a Yoshi Egg at them. He cannot, however, swallow them and turn them into an egg.
A variety of Kaboombas are introduced in Super Princess Peach in the form of Calm Cannons. It is usually found sleeping, though if Peach wakes it up by walking too quickly, it will begin acting as a normal Kaboomba.
