The '''Mole Tank''', also known as '''Mole-Yoshi''',<ref>{{cite|date=October 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue 31|page=66}}</ref> is one of the several [[morph bubble]] transformations a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can undergo in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. The Mole Tank can dig through [[soft rock]]s and can be rotated into four directions (up, down, left and right) with the D-pad. One of its main advantages is its ability to drive along walls and the ceiling without falling down. It is also smaller than a regular Yoshi, enabling the tank to fit through small openings. The Mole Tank is yellow in its artwork, even though the [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] never gets the opportunity to morph into a Mole Tank.

'''Mole Tanks''' are mole-shaped tanks that a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can transform into in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' by touching a [[morph bubble]] with its picture inside.


Yoshi morphs to a Mole Tank after eating a morph bubble in volume 14 of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. This allows Yoshi, Mario, Baby Mario, and Luigi to dig underground. While underground, Yoshi nearly eats a [[Monty Mole]] before quickly going further underground, but upon doing so, [[Kamek]] gives the Mole Tank a beating with his hammer. Unlike in the game, the Mole Tank power-up stays for a set period of time and does not transport Yoshi back to where Yoshi got the morph bubble.
