Biography[]
The Urbz: Sims in the City (handheld)[]
In The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld, Cannonball Coleman is an Urb residing in Miniopolis. He is a part of the Artsies rep group.
His first mission appearance is during Gotta Finish The Riff, where he asks the player to help him with some lines he is stuck with: befriending him by getting his relationship up to 30, gaining creativity 1 and gifting him a saxophone reed is also required to finish this mission.
Cannonball's second mission appearance is Get On The "List", where he asks the player to guard Club Zydeco for the night. Depending on your chosen rep group, you have to deny entrance to that rep group's opposing group. Finishing this mission gives you a golden fiddle, which, later on, can be used to gain more simoleons out of the Red Man's minigame, Soul Music.
Cannonball's last mission appearance is Reality Show, though he does not play much of a role here.
The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)[]
In The Sims 2 for Nintendo DS, he appears as the head of the Hotel's Sax Lounge, but he cannot be socialized with and only sells food. His lounge is said to be the best spot for new music since the Zydeco Club closed down. Visitors can eat, drink, dance, and record their own music on the keyboard.
