'''Tanks'''<ref>{{cite|date=June 1990|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=74–75 & 78–79|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as large, segmented, and heavily armed land vehicles utilized by [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser's Minions|his armies]] in various games. Tanks are usually equipped with various artillery, such as [[cannon]]s, [[Burner|Rocket Engine]]s, [[Bob-omb]] launchers, and [[Rocky Wrench]]es. In addition, some tanks were just mostly square in shape.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
There are only two tank companies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', both guarding areas in [[Dark Land]]. The [[World 8-Big Tanks|first one]] is found in the kingdom's first area, and the [[World 8-Super Tank|second one]] is in the last portion of it. There are 13 tanks (10 in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'') in the first [[level]], and there are two regular tanks and three large tanks in the second level. Their texture is the same as that of the [[airship]]s in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
