Official artwork of one of the Cannon Brothers
Cannon Brothers' sprite
The Cannon Brothers (大砲屋 Taihō-ya), also known as Cannon Men, are non-player characters in Secret of Mana. They operate Cannon Travel Centers in and around Potos Village, Kippo Village, Gaia's Navel, the Forest of Seasons, the Great Forest, Kakkara, and the Ice Country, which the party can use to travel great distances quickly and for a reasonable price.
At least one of the Cannon Brothers is married, and his wife has trouble telling her husband and his brothers apart.
In the HD remake, if the party should use cannon travel and then rest at an inn with a coffee table, a discussion may take place as to whether the Cannon Brothers are brothers at all, bringing up the possibility of one man using a freakish method of travel; the brothers never seem to talk to one another.
