Capture their second convincing win and defending champions tries to thrash Canada.
Scott Barrett, Jordie and brothers Beauden all moved over as the best score of this World Cup was reach by the All Blacks.
They had been given a penalty try after four minutes and Jordie Barrett, Beauden Barrett and Sonny Bill Williams crossed before half-time.
Rieko Ioane, scott Barrett, Brad Weber and Shannon Frizell believed.
There were four attempts in the first ten minutes at the onset of the next half as their opponents defence ripped .
The All Blacks move up to second in Pool B – out facing courtesy of 2 wins – after confronting Namibia on Sunday, who they play.
The victory extends the winning streak in World Cups into 16 of New Zealand matches their last defeat was to France from the 2007 quarter-final – and proceeds their record of having never lost a pool match.
This might not have been the most experience of the championship – pitting the winners of the past two World Cups contrary to the second-lowest ranked team – but New Zealands attack was devastating.
They powered on the line inside 70 seconds but Canada managed to hold up the ball.
It was not long until the very first attempt arrived and it did so at normally imposing fashion as the Canada scrum was pushed by New Zealand back on the line under their own posts.
The All Blacks had threats throughout their team with all fly-half Richie Mounga, who kicked eight positions, yanking Beauden Barrett a continuous menace and the strings from his position of full-back.
Even the Barrett brothers became the sibling trio to begin in a World Cup for New Zealand along with the family hat-trick would have been completed sooner had the ball never dropped when over the lineup at the first half.
Beauden had the chance to score a 10th All Blacks attempt, and choose the teams total to 70, but he strangely shattered the ball in the last minute when trying to score.
On the rare occasions New Zealand did need to defend they did clinically, turning the ball over to repel Canada when they ventured into their 22.
New Zealand watched one of the most important rivals South Africa, for its prize, in their first pool match as they bid for a third consecutive World Cup and their momentum is continued by this win.
