'''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 various games. They are usually 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. Their texture is the same as that of the [[airship]]s in ''Super Mario Bros. 3.''

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''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 [[World 8-Super Tank|the second]] is in the last portion of it. There are 13 tanks or 10 tanks (''[[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.''

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====

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

Tanks also appear in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]"; here, several tanks and Rocky Wrenches appear to attack [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] when they enter Dark Land.
