'''Tanks'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Strategy Guide'' for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', page 74-75 & 78-79.</ref> are large, segmented and heavily armed land vehicles utilized by [[Bowser]] and [[Koopa Troop|his armies]] in [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] and the [[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|television show]]. Tanks are equipped with various artillery, such as [[cannon]]s, [[Rocket Engine|jet engine]]s, [[Bob-omb]] launchers and [[Rocky Wrench]]es. In addition, some tanks were just mostly square in shape, presumably being the command tank due to the pipe on top. Their texture is the same as that of the [[airship]]s in ''Super Mario Bros. 3.''


==History==
[[File:TankCartoon.jpg|thumb|left|A tank from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
===''Super Mario'' series===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', only two tank companies, which guard [[Dark Land]], appear, the [[World 8-Big Tanks|first one]] being found in the kingdom's first area and [[World 8-Super Tank|the second]] in the last portion of it; the first company (composed of either 13 tanks (original/''[[Super Mario All-Stars|All-Stars]]'' version) or 10 tanks (''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]''), including one with a [[Rocket Engine|flamethrower]], one super tank, and one with [[Giant Cannonball|larger artillery]]) being commanded by a [[Boomerang Bro]]. The second company is composed of two regular tanks and three super tanks, the latter of which were named because they were far larger than normal, and is commanded by [[Boom Boom]]. In addition, airships were seen aiding the latter company, possibly implying that airships and tanks sometimes work together in the same company.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there are only two tank companies, which both guard areas in [[Dark Land]]. The [[World 8-Big Tanks|first one]] is found in the kingdom's first area, and the [[World 8-Super Tank|second one]] is in the last portion of it. There are 13 tanks (10 in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'') in the first [[level]], and there are two regular tanks and three large tanks in the second level. Their texture is the same as that of the [[airship]]s in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its Nintendo Switch port]], tanks appear in [[Bowser's Bullet Bill Brigade]] and [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]]. In these levels, they slowly move around the levels, and [[Spike Trap]]s are found on them. In this game, tanks have lights. The lights are activated only in the latter level, which takes place at night.
