'''Tanks''' 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 equipted 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.'' | |||

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 company (composed of either 13 tanks ([[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]/[[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version) or 10 tanks ([[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version), including one with a [[Rocket Engine|flamethrower]], one super-tank, and one with [[Giant Cannonball|larger artillery]]) being commanded by [[Boomerang Bro.|Boomerang Bros.]] and the second company being commanded by [[Boom Boom]]. The latter company was composed of two regular tanks and three super-tanks, the latter of which were named because they were far larger than normal. In addition, Airships were seen aiding the latter company, possibly implying that airships and tanks sometimes work together in the same company. | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', | |||
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', tanks appear in [[Bowser's Bullet Bill Brigade]] and [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]]. | |||
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' | |||
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. | |||

[[ | In the manual for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy's]] character quote mentioned that he heard that his father,<ref>In the English manuals and other supplemental materials at the time, Lemmy and the other Koopalings were considered Bowser's offspring.</ref> Bowser, was creating a new weapon. Whether the weapon were the Tanks, the small Airships, or the [[Battleship]]s wasn't specified. | ||
