Bomb Tank (タンクボン, Tankubon) is an enemy from Super Bomberman 4. It is a rideable enemy that comes from a mechanical Egg.
Description[]
Bomb Tank is found in the Modern Era. It moves at a normal pace in a straight line until it collides with a block, bomb, or other enemy, at which point it pauses, chooses a random direction, and then continues to move. It may choose to reverse directions even if it is not at a dead end. It will harm the player on collision.
When Bomb Tank lines up horizontally or vertically with a player, and there are no obstacles between them, it will turn to face that player and fire a sticky bullet in his or her direction. A player who is hit by the sticky bullet will be afflicted with a slow movement speed for a certain period of time. It takes 2 hits to defeat and yields a score of 400 points.
Upon defeat, Bomb Tank becomes a mechanical Egg. In Battle Mode, it can be found randomly in Eggs that are uncovered in Soft Blocks.
Riding[]
Players who ride Bomb Tank are able to fire a sticky bullet, which will temporarily slow down any player or enemy whom it collides with. Each player who rides a Bomb Tank may only have one sticky bullet on screen at once. The sticky bullet while riding Bomb Tank is a little different.
