Tank

"My sources tell me that this island was once the place of an incredible battle. Left behind from those days is some sort of tank. Hopefully you can make use of it."

The tank is a vehicle in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Mass Attack.

Physical Appearance
The tank is an all-terrain vehicle sporting four black tires and a pink paint job. Its body is a round central unit perched atop a rectangular platform. The tank has a stubby cannon on the front, an access hatch on the top, and a black screen on either side. This screen displays the number of Kirbys inside the cabin.

Kirby Mass Attack
The tank appears in Stage 2 of Volcano Valley. When the Kirbys board it, it begins driving forward automatically. The player can aim the cannon by dragging the stylus across the touch screen and fire a Kirby by removing the stylus. Because the Kirbys serve as ammunition, it is important to have several of them.

The tank has four hit points, which can be replenished individually by collecting special blue containers. The tank takes damage whenever an enemy or a solid object comes in contact with it. If it runs out of health, it explodes, KOing all the Kirbys.

When the tank stops rolling, it allows the Kirbys to dismount before it depressurizes and shuts down.
