Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

==Design==
==Design==
The Cannon Gun is shaped like a small cannon. Its body is blue with cyan highlights and silver rivets. It has four short, sharp, silver legs, a large, silver spike on either of its sides, and a black base. The Heartless's face is a black sphere with glowing yellow eyes set in the front of the cannon's body. The actual barrel of the cannon is black and has several red designs that cause it to resemble a face, with the mouth of the cannon being the nose. It also sports a short, curled, red fuse in its back.

The Cannon Gun's name references the weapon it was modeled after. The word "gun" can also refer to types of cannons. Its Japanese name, "Aiming Cannon," has a similar meaning, and may reference the targeting reticule that appears when it fires. "Li'l Cannon" emphasizes its small size when compared to some of the similar Heartless introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''.

==Strategy==
Cannon Guns avoid Sora and close combat as much as possible; however, it still is going to keep him moving. Its main attack includes creating a target emblem on the floor tracking Sora, and fire cannon bombs if not cautious. Get in close or use magic to destroy the Cannon Gun before the bomb lands. Cannon Gun can be an annoying enemy, especially when paired with aggressive Heartless, since they are good attack supporters.

Cannon Guns avoid Sora and close combat as much as possible; however, it still is going to keep him moving. Its main attack includes creating a target emblem on the floor that tracks Sora for two seconds, and fire cannon bombs if not cautious. Get in close or use magic to destroy the Cannon Gun before the bomb lands. Cannon Gun can be an annoying enemy, especially when paired with aggressive Heartless, since they are good attack supporters.


A quick way of finishing them is to cast [[Magnet]] on attract them and finish them of with a strong spell. Alternately, changing into [[Wisdom Form]] and sniping from afar is also a good tactic, since [[Sora]] can move while attacking in this form. Also, Sora is considerably faster in normal form as well, so it may be chased after.

Li'l Cannons can be a threat if left at a distance, so it is advised to quickly close the distance and interrupt their attacks with physical combos. Magic is also a good options, as they are severely weak to all forms of magic (except for [[Fire]], which they absorb), but make sure when casting that there's enough time to dodge any of their fireballs that may be coming down.
When targeted, wait until the bomb is about to land, then make use of [[Air Slide]] or [[Dodge Roll]] to avoid the attack. Proper timing is needed, as dodging too early or too late will result in getting caught in the blast radius. Also watch out for when it aims itself forward, as that signals a fireball that will fire straight forward. Unlike the targeted attack, however, the direct fireball can be blocked.
