How it plays

How does Totsugeki! Ponkotsu Tank (Japan) play?

Drive the tank through four main stages, destroy enemies and breakable walls, collect fuel, extra lives, and weapon upgrades, and defeat the bosses. Fire can cancel enemy bullets, and the campaign ends with a boss rush and final boss; multiplayer uses open arenas and scores for destroyed tanks.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Totsugeki! Ponkotsu Tank (Japan)?

Rotate the turret continuously in the rightward direction while moving independently, use shots to cancel incoming fire, and choose the weapon that fits the current boss rather than assuming the strongest spread is always best. Keep fuel and recovery items for the next stage, and practice the one-player route before link battles.
