'''Sherms''' are [[tank]] enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are green with a white [[Bowser]]'s [[emblem]] printed on them, fire pearlescent blue explosives, and can be found in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the [[Metro Kingdom]] at nighttime, and the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]]. They can be beaten with a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] or a shot fired by a Sherm. Sherms do not normally wear hats. When they do, ones in the Metro Kingdom wear large red top hats with stars and a stripe, ones in the Wooded Kingdom wear an explorers hat, and ones in the [[Moon Kingdom]] wear white top hats. These hats block an initial [[Cap Throw]], but are knocked off when they are [[stomp]]ed. Sherm can either stay still or move left and right. If they see Mario, which they can do over a long distance, they will shoot at him. Their projectiles ignore gravity. They are extremely destructive, able not just to break [[crate]]s, [[Block (Super Mario Odyssey)|block]]s, and dirt, but also able to defeat other enemies. If a Sherm is hit with a Cap Throw while not wearing a hat, Mario can [[capture]]s it and use its abilities.

When a Sherm is captured, the camera switches to a "behind the back" view. The player can aim its cannon with the right Control Stick (as well as by tilting the Joy-Con/Pro Controller), and fire explosives with {{button|switch|Y}} or {{button|switch|B}}. The camera moves alongside the cannon. The explosives can also be used to collect items, and unearth [[glowing spot]]s. Sherms cannot jump, and plummet off the edges of platforms without the ability to adjust the trajectory. After firing three or more explosives in a row, then concluding fire, a Sherm will briefly stop to reload, then allow the player to continue moving.

A Sherm prominently appears in the boss battle against [[Mechawiggler]] in the Metro Kingdom. Cannon fire is the only means of damaging it. As such, a Sherm also appears in the Mechawiggler rematch in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]].

The name "Sherm" is a reference to the famous American {{wp|M4 Sherman}} tank, which was one of the most common tanks in {{wp|World War II}} - the hat they wear in the Metro Kingdom even resembles the Ascot top hat worn in depictions of {{wp|Uncle Sam}}. Despite this, their shape seems to be based on the {{wp|Japanese tanks of World War II|World War II-era tanks}} used by the {{wp|Imperial Japanese Army}} (particularly the {{wp|Type 95 Ha-Go light tank}}) - ironically with the chassis and turret being dark green in color alongside the white Bowser emblem, akin to its American namesake.
