Shotzos are a recurring hazardous object in the Kirby franchise. They are indestructible obstacles that fire cannonballs at Kirby, either in a fixed trajectory or by attempting to fire in his direction. Shotzos first appear in Kirby's Dream Land. Shotzos are comparable to Bill Blasters, which fire Bullet Bills, from the Mario franchise. It cannot be inhaled, but its parasol can, which yields the Parasol ability.

Outside the Kirby franchise, Shotzos have appeared in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as an enemy in Smash Run and as a trophy.

Shotzo Enemy These cannons from the Kirby series could track Kirby and fire at him. In Smash Bros., there are two different kinds: ones that fire in a set direction and ones that will track and fire at a fighter. Don't waste time attacking these guys, though— it's impossible to defeat them.
Not all of these cannons from the Kirby series are stuck to the ground - some float in with parasols, and some can ever move on their own! In Smash Run, some fire in a fixed direction, while others will aim at you. They're invincible, but they also can't shoot through each other. Keep that in mind when you come across them!
