'''Monty Tank''' is a tank manned by a [[Monty Mole]] that fires [[Bullet Bill]]s and appears as the [[World 6 (NSMB)|World 6]] boss of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. It can be destroyed by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] jumping on the Monty Mole's head three times, when its head is exposed. The Monty's head is exposed when he comes out of the Monty Tank to throw [[Bob-omb]]s at the player. These bombs can be thrown at the mole while his head is exposed to cause damage. Each time the Monty Tank is hit, it will quickly move back and forth along the ground. While doing so, it will also rapidly fire [[Bullet Bill]]s from its multiple levels, depending on how many times it had been damaged. Each time it is hit, one more level is added to the tank, making it taller. The tank is invincible when Monty's head is not exposed. Mario and Luigi can also defeat it by just jumping onto the Monty Tank using the [[Mega Mushroom]].

Monty Tank[1] is the Monty Mole and tank boss of World 6 in New Super Mario Bros. The tank can be destroyed by Mario or Luigi stomping Monty's head three times, when his head is exposed. Monty's head is exposed when he comes out of the tank to throw Bob-ombs at the player. These bombs can be thrown at Monty while his head is exposed to cause damage. Each time the tank is hit, it will spin and quickly move back and forth along the ground. While doing so, it has an alarm sound go off and fires Bullet Bills from its turrets at multiple levels, depending on how many times it has been damaged. Each time it is hit, one more level is added to the tank, making it taller. Like the other bosses in the game, a ground pound counts as two hits; if Mario uses a ground pound on the first hit, two levels will be added, while ground pounding on the second hit will immediately defeat the tank. Mario and Luigi can also defeat it by just jumping onto the tank using a Mega Mushroom. The tank is invincible when Monty's head is not exposed. If the player stands on top of the tank, it spins back and forth to get them off it, while firing Bullet Bills and its alarm sound going off.
