'''Sherms''' are tank enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are green with a white [[Bowser]]'s [[emblem]] printed on them, fire pearlescent blue explosives, and can be found in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the [[Metro Kingdom]] at nighttime, the Underground Moon Caverns in the [[Moon Kingdom]], and the [[Mechawiggler]] rematch in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. They can be beaten with a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] or a shot fired by a [[capture]]d Sherm. When captured with and controlled by [[Cappy]], the player can aim its cannon with the right Control Stick (as well as by tilting the Joy-Con/Pro Controller), and fire explosives with {{button|ns|Y}}. The explosives can also be used to collect items. They are used to defeat Mechawiggler. | '''Sherms''' are [[tank]] enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''.

The name "Sherm" is a reference to the famous American {{wp|M4 Sherman}} tank, which was one of the most common tanks in {{wp|World War II}} - the hat they wear in the Metro Kingdom even resembles the Ascot top hat worn in depictions of {{wp|Uncle Sam}}. Despite this, their shape seems to be based on the {{wp|Japanese tanks of World War II|World War II-era tanks}} used by the {{wp|Imperial Japanese Army}} (particularly the {{wp|Type 95 Ha-Go light tank}}) - ironically with the chassis and turret being dark green in color alongside the white Bowser emblem, akin to its American namesake. | The name "Sherm" is a reference to the famous American {{wp|M4 Sherman}} tank, which was one of the most common tanks in {{wp|World War II}} - the hat they wear in the Metro Kingdom even resembles the Ascot top hat worn in depictions of {{wp|Uncle Sam}}.
