The Cannon is an object in Super Mario 64. It appears in multiple main courses and in Wing Mario Over the Rainbow

Description

The Cannon is an obejct made of three parts : The cannon base, the cannon shaft (or barrel) and the cannon lid. When Mario first enters a level, only the cannon lid will be loaded, which is a surface Mario can walk on. Once Mario talks to the level's Bob-omb Buddy, the lid will open and the cannon will be spawned in. The lid will stay open on subsequent entry of this level.

Once the lid is open, Mario can then drop into the cannon which will allow him to shoot himself across the level. Doing so with a Wing Cap will also make Mario enter flight
