Cannon Stage

The  was a Stage in BABFT. In this stage, two rows of cannons lined the walls, each firing when a block is in their view. The gun ports found in this stage dealt a massive amount of damage, quickly leading to the player's death, the destruction of their chair, and/or the destruction of their entire boat. This stage usually appeared as the one of the last few stages during a run.

It was known to be one of the hardest stages in the game, due to the fact that the player's boat gets hit rapidly for a long period of time. The cannons were able to pierce the 3rd most durable material in the game, the Titanium Block, in under 3 hits.

Trivia

 * If the player positioned a relatively small and thin boat in the middle of the stage, it would have be possible to avoid getting shot by the cannons. The easiest team to do this in was the White Team.
 * Having a wider and bigger ship put the player at the disadvantage of being fired at from both sides, maximizing the damage output of the cannons.
 * Sending a "decoy" craft in front of a ship often distracted the cannons, causing them to fire at the decoy rather than the actual ship due to their function to shoot at the first objects that pass.
 * The boats had a delay that was extended depending on if the player was in the middle or on the sides of the stage. Using Thrusters to accelerate past most of the shots would have increased the chances of surviving.
