How to Unlock the Cannons in Super Mario Bros. on the Wii

Players of "Super Mario Bros. Wii" can unlock six cannons that will warp them to three unique worlds. Warp use means the player can essentially skip over entire worlds. The player won't have to beat those worlds to beat the entire game. Warp cannons will appear on the game map when the player reaches secret flagpoles hidden in select levels. You can always choose to skip a cannon on one level and try to reach a different cannon on the next.
