Effect Sends the player to a Coin Heaven

Cloud Cannons[1] are objects in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port. They bear a striking resemblance to Lakitu's Clouds. When a player jumps into a Cloud Cannon, the cloud produces a white Pipe Cannon that shoots the player into a Coin Heaven, which usually gives the player a Super Star or a Potted Piranha Plant used to run through a group of enemies and receive a Green Star at the end. Cloud Cannons replace the similarly functioning Super Note Blocks from Super Mario 3D Land.

In Bowser's Fury, Cloud Cannons lead to bonus areas where Mario has to defeat a group of Cat Biddybuds and Cat Para-Biddybuds with a Super Star, causing a Cat Shine to appear at the end.
