Battle City Mario is an explosive crossover that brings the legendary gameplay of the classic tank shooter into the vibrant Mushroom Kingdom. Take control of a powerful battle tank as Mario or his friends to defend your base against relentless waves of evil Goombas and Koopas. It’s a nostalgic, high-stakes arcade game where strategy and reflexes are the keys to survival.
The objective is simple but challenging: Protect your base and destroy all enemy tanks in each level. You must navigate through destructible brick walls and avoid enemy fire while systematically clearing the map. If your base is destroyed or you lose all your lives, the invasion succeeds and the game is over!
Based on the official configuration, here are the keys you need to master:
Movement (DPAD): Use the Up, Down, Left, and Right Arrow Keys to navigate your tank.

Z Key: Primary Action / Shoot (BUTTON_1).
X Key: Secondary Action (BUTTON_2).

Use Choke Points: Create narrow paths in the bricks to force enemy tanks into a line, making them easy targets for your cannon.
