TheAir Cannon is an enemy that can only be found inside theAirway inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story when pursuing theDark Star. It is a teal-colored egg creature that has been influenced by theDark Star, and operates a pinkBill Blaster on wheels. In the field, Air Cannons fire upon intruders into their territory.
From the cannon, the egg creature will shoot white, airyBullet Bills in two different ways. In the first way, the Air Cannon will shoot some Bullet Bills randomly atMario orLuigi. The Bullet Bills may come straight on or fly in a small loop. Occasionally, they may "disappear," but they actually turn invisible. With key timing, the plumbers will need tojump over the Bullet Bills to avoid taking damage. Their second attack involves shooting three Bullet Bills into the air. The Bullet Bills perform a loop-de-loop and head towards one of the bros. However, as the Bullet Bills come down, they will turn invisible. The bro will need tohammer the Bullet Bills with key timing in order to avoid taking damage. Air Cannons give their target away via how the cannon is aimed before firing; if they aim upward, the target is Mario. If they aim downward, the target is Luigi. Once the cannon is defeated, the creature operating it will flee, but it will come back in a few turns if another Air Cannon is still active, wielding a new cannon. They will cease to respawn after their cannon has been destroyed three times.
The creature operating the cannon is similar to aDark Satellmite.
