Main Cannon #2 (also known as "Combo Cannon") is the main gun of Battleship Halberd, Meta Knight's personal airship. This weapon goes by several English names:

• It is named "Combo Cannon" in The Arena of the original Kirby Super Star and its Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• It is also called the "twin cannon" in the English version of Kirby Super Star and renamed "Main Cannon #2" in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
• It is called the "Gravity Disruptor" in the English dub of the anime.
• Its Japanese name is usually rendered 2連主砲, which means "Main Gun 2," although it also goes by Combo Cannon.

It is a cannon located on the topside of the Halberd, usually near the front (although in Kirby: Squeak Squad, it is on the second-highest level of the ship). Its name suggests another cannon of its firepower elsewhere on the ship; later designs of Halberd feature a very long cannon, the largest on the ship, on its bow - this is presumably Main Cannon #1.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star UltraEdit

It is an elaborate double-barreled gun turret that fires cannonballs from its main (upper) barrel and lasers from its smaller (lower) barrel. This smaller barrel can be destroyed separately from the main assembly to keep it from shooting any more lasers. It has a mechanical arm that will try to grab and throw Kirby, drop bombs on him, or try to hold him in front of the firing laser. Every other time it prepares to fire its laser, a platform will rise under Kirby to try to move him into the way of the blast although this was changed to a low-health reaction in Kirby Super Star Ultra. When it was first destroyed, it exploded and shattered pieces of bent metal everywhere, with a strong enough force to wreck most of the top of the Halberd.

Inhaling the large cannonballs and bombs dropped by the hand give Kirby Bomb (although the former inexplicably grants Yo-yo in the SNES version). If Kirby has the Ice or Fire copy ability, he can jump above the lower cannon when the top cannon is facing backward so he can use his ice/fire breath to shut it down.

Kirby's Epic YarnEdit

The cannon has been turned into yarn along with the rest of the Halberd, and Kirby fights it now with the Starship. The cannon's arm is not present, and thus it no longer tries to grab Kirby or drop bombs on him. The top cannon shoots three large cannonballs in succession; the bottom cannon still fires the laser beam, which is now a lot wider than the ones of Kirby Super Star (Ultra). It is now made up of several strands of yarn. UFOs periodically enter the fray and fire lasers at Kirby.

TriviaEdit

• Main Cannon No. 2 is one of the few bosses to have no eyes. The others are Pix, Reactor, Lor Starcutter, Galactic Nova Nucleus, and Master Hand & Crazy Hand.
• While the Meta Knight symbol was updated for Kirby Super Star Ultra, the original insignia that was on the side of the cannon in the SNES game is on Meta Knight's left pauldron in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
• Oddly, Kirby would gain the Yo-yo ability if he inhaled a cannonball fired by Main Cannon No. 2 in Kirby Super Star. This was fixed in the remake, as it gives the Bomb ability.
