Tank

Tanks are large, segmented and heavily armed land vehicles utilized by Bowser and his armies. Tanks are equipted with various artillery, such as cannons, jet engines and Bob-omb launchers and also Rocky Wrench pilots. Their texture is the same as that of the Airships in Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, only two Tank companies, which guard Dark Land, appear, the first one being found in the kingdom's first area and the other in the last portion of it; the first tank being commanded by Boomerang Bros. and the other being commanded by a Boom Boom. The latter company was composed of three super-tanks, tanks that were far larger than normal.

Aside from Super Mario Bros. 3, the only other appearance of Tanks has been 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.
