Barrel Cannon

Barrel Cannons are devices exclusive in the King of Stories. First appearing in Jungle Hijinx, they return with a design from DKC Returns. When a character enters the machine, it fuctions similarly to ones in the Donkey Kong and Kirby universes. They launch players to great distances immediately to reach higher platforms. Some cannons can be functioned manually, to enter a specific cannon to avoid an obstacle while they move vertically. Rotating Cannons are also manually functioned. They rotate to another cannon or a platform. Though they must be careful, due to its ability to accidentally launch players off screen for a SD.
