Tanks a Lot (known as Koopa Koliseum in the British English version) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour.

Overview[edit]

The players are in tanks and are blasting at each other. If a player gets blasted, the player that they hit respawns, and they get a point. If a brown Brick Block gets blasted, it disappears. The first player to get three points wins, whereas players who did not score any points are automatically ranked last place.

Controls[edit]

  • Circle Pad – Move
  • A Button – Fire

In-game text[edit]

  • RulesAmerican English: "Destroy your opponents' tanks before they can destroy yours."
  • RulesBritish English: "Destroy your opponents' tanks before they can destroy yours. Score three hits to win."

Naming[edit]

The American English name is a pun on the phrase "thanks a lot". The British English name corrupts "coliseum" to "koliseum" to form a piece of alliteration with "Koopa".
