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 with stubby cannons attached to their left side. The tanks are also lined with standard cannons that fire either cannonballs or Bob-ombs. One tank 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[edit]

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.
