'''Tanks'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Strategy Guide'' for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', page 74-75 & 78-79.</ref> 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 equipped 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 [[World 8-Big Tanks|first one]] being found in the kingdom's first area and [[World 8-Super Tank|the second]] in the last portion of it; the first company is composed of either 13 tanks (original/''[[Super Mario All-Stars|All-Stars]]'' version) or 10 tanks (''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]''), including one with a [[Rocket Engine|flamethrower]], one super tank, and one with [[Giant Cannonball|larger artillery]]) being commanded by a [[Boomerang Bro]]. The second company is composed of two regular tanks and three super tanks, the latter of which were named because they were far larger than normal, and is commanded by [[Boom Boom]]. In addition, airships were seen aiding the latter company, possibly implying that airships and tanks sometimes work together in the same company.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', the boss of [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 6]] is [[Monty Tank]], which is depicted as a [[Monty Mole]] piloting a tank. In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', tanks appear in [[Bowser's Bullet Bill Brigade]] and [[Bowser's Bob-omb Brigade]].

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.

==Trivia==
[[File:EricKozlowsky SMB3Tank.jpg|thumb|200px|The tank render from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. (Artist: Eric Kozlowsky)]]
*In the manual for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy's]] character quote mentioned that he heard that his father was developing a new weapon. Whether the weapon is the tanks, the small air force, or the [[battleship]]s is not specified.
*In the level [[Frosty Fruits]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', a tank that resembles the ones in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' can be seen in a window near the beginning of the level.
