Dark Cannon

Item from Smash Bros Brawl: The Subspace Emissary by Nintendo / Masahiro Sakurai

A weapon that turns living fighters into frozen trophies — the Subspace Army's tool for collecting heroes and removing them from the battlefield.

The Dark Cannon is the Subspace Army's most insidious weapon. A single hit transforms any fighter into an inert trophy — frozen, helpless, and collectible. Bowser and Wario are both issued Dark Cannons, and they use them to devastating effect: Bowser captures Donkey Kong, Wario captures Ness and Luigi. The weapon changes the rules of engagement. Fighters who are accustomed to taking hits and recovering must now treat every shot as potentially lethal. The Dark Cannon turns combat from a contest of strength into a game of evasion. One hit ends you.

Appearance

A large, dark-barreled cannon with purple energy pulsing through its frame. Oversized — it requires two hands to hold and aim. The barrel glows with dark energy before firing. The projectile is a focused beam of trophy-fication energy — black and purple, moving fast enough that dodging requires advance warning.

Also known as: Trophy Cannon, The Dark Gun
