Bowser Jr.'s Clown Cannon, inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U

Clown Cannon isBowser Jr.'s standard special move inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. A cannon appears from the mouth of theJunior Clown Car, charging a shot for as long as the player holds down the special attack button. When released, the cannon fires a cannonball that flies farther and deals more damage the longer the move is charged, and the move is even stronger if the cannonball hits an opponent that is closer to Bowser Jr.. Once the cannonball lands, it can no longer damage opponents; the cannonball can only hit one opponent before it falls, and Bowser Jr. cannot fire another cannonball if one is onscreen. However, this is possible inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the cannonballs now travel in a spiraling movement, similar to theShotzo enemy from theKirby games.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U, the first unlockable custom special variant for this attack isPiercing Cannon, which fires the cannonball faster, and can damage multiple targets, but it is smaller in size, and deals less damage and knockback overall. The second variant isAir Cannon, which makes the cannon shoot out air that pushes opponents, rather than deal damage, and does not travel as far.
