Tanks are a type of vehicle used by the Koopa Troop in some Mario games. They first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. Tanks usually consist of artillery, such as cannons, and often appear to be made up of wood.
In the Super Mario series[]
Super Mario Bros. 3[]
Tanks only appear in World 8, where two levels take place on a series of tanks. They are similar to airship levels, such as how Rocky Wrenches are often found in them, but Tanks move along the ground rather than in midair. At the end of each tank level is a Warp Pipe leading into a room with a pair of Boomerang Bros or sometimes Boom Boom.
New Super Mario Bros.[]
A tank of a militaristic green color is used by a Monty Mole, named Monty Tank, during his battle.
Super Mario 3D World[]
A series of tanks are encountered in two levels, Bowser's Bullet Bill Brigade and Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade.
