'''Monty Tank'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=14|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> is the [[Monty Mole]] and [[tank]] boss of [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' The tank can be defeated by [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) [[stomp]]ing Monty's head three times when the latter's head is exposed. Monty's head is exposed when he comes out of the tank to throw [[Bob-omb]]s at the player. These bombs can be thrown at Monty while his head is exposed to cause damage. Each time the tank is hit, it spins and quickly moves back and forth along the ground. While doing so, it has an alarm sound go off and fires [[Bullet Bill]]s from its turrets at multiple levels, depending on how many times it has been damaged. Each time it is hit, one more level is added to the tank, making it taller. Like with the other bosses in the game, a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] counts as two hits; if Mario uses a ground pound on the first hit, two levels are added, while ground-pounding on the second hit immediately defeats the tank. Mario can also defeat it by just [[jump]]ing onto the tank while using a [[Mega Mushroom]]. The tank is invincible when Monty's head is not exposed. If the player stands on top of the tank, it spins back and forth to get them off it, while firing Bullet Bills and with its alarm sound going off.

==Notes==
*While internal data labels <tt>choropu</tt> (Monty Mole) separate from <tt>chorotank</tt> (Monty Tank), the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] attributes the name "Monty Tank" to the Monty Mole himself.
*Monty Tank is similar to the Monty Mole enemies in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', who similarly made use of [[cannon|Bullet Bill-shooting weapons]] and threw Bob-ombs.
