World 8-Big Tanks: Difference between revisions
Stone Pokey (talk | contribs) (The Bob-ombs in this level are of the cannon-spawned keyless variety. As these explode on their own after a given time, unlike those with keys, there is a significant enough difference in their behaviour for them to be classified as separate Bob-omb types.) |

World 8-Tank is the first of two tank levels in Dark Land, being followed by World 8-Super Tank, and is the first level of Dark Land overall, in Super Mario Bros. 3. It is the only level accessible after clearing Pipe Land and its own completion unlocks Template:World-link. It is entered automatically upon touching the icon on the map.
Layout
This is a horizontally autoscrolling level, though it is only the tanks that move; the player will not move with the screen if they are standing on the ground. The player starts at the forefront of a battalion of moving tanks. The tanks are lined with cannons that fire either cannonballs or Bob-ombs, one has a Rocket Engine on the front, and others have Rocky Wrenches. There is also a giant cannon that fires giant cannonballs before the Warp Pipe at the end of the level, which leads to a chamber with a lone Boomerang Brother that will end the level upon being defeated.
Version differences
In the original game, the airship theme continues playing during the Boomerang Brother fight, while in remakes, the Hammer Brother battle theme plays instead. Additionally, the original Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario All-Stars remake have thirteen tanks, whereas Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 has ten.
