Changes: Cannon

Revision as of 08:10, 19 May 2020

This article is about the enemy. For other uses, see Cannon (disambiguation).

Cannon, known as Houdai (ホウダイ, Houdai lit. "Cannon") in Japan, is an enemy from the original Mega Man series. When a Cannon is inert, a metallic hatch covers its barrel. If a Cannon senses an enemy, its hatch will raise and extend a barrel that launches a large cannonball. They are only vulnerable to attacks while the barrel is exposed, being its weak spot.

Appearances

Mega Man 3

Cannons are mostly found in Needle Man's stage, both the normal version and when Doc Robot appears.

Mega Man II

Cannons appear in Wood Man's and Needle Man's stages.

Mega Man: The Wily Wars

Cannons are named Shield Cannons (ホウダイン, Shield Cannons "Houdai'n" in Japan) and now have eyes and different colors, but their pattern remains the same. They only appear in Challenge mode stages, and stages created with the Construction Mode.

Cannons appear as enemies in the "Mega Man a" minigame.
