The Tank Form is an impressive and powerful transformation that Banjo and Kazooie can unlock in Banjo-Kazooie Grunty’s Revenge, found in Freezing Furnace. This particular transformation is granted to the protagonists by the shaman Mumbo Jumbo, after they defeat the mighty Klungo inside the metallic Gruntilda Statue in Grunty’s GmbH and get his Mumbo Token. Upon receiving the token, Mumbo Jumbo makes the Tank Form become available for the protagonists to utilize in their quest. By transforming into a tank Banjo and Kazooie take on the form of a greenish-grey colored tank, sporting Banjo’s blue backpack and yellow pants. Using the B button, the duo can fire a devastating bullet, which can defeat enemies and obstacles in its path. However, it’s worth noting that the Tank Form’s bullets have a really slow flying and performing speed. In addition to its destructive power, the form provides the protagonists with the ability to shoot open heavy iron doors to access new sections of the game world, where they can find valuable collectibles such as Jiggies. For instance, in Freezing Furnace, players can use the tank to open the iron door near Mumbo’s Skull to get inside Grunty’s GmbH, where they’ll find more heavy iron doors that lead to various Puzzle Rooms. Solving the puzzles in these rooms leads to the discovery of rare rewards such as Jiggies. It is also important to note that the Tank Form is vulnerable to contact with liquid surfaces such as water or the green poisonous sea found in Spiller’s Harbor. Contact with these surfaces causes Banjo and Kazooie to lose all health points and become defeated. In addition to its usage in Freezing Furnace, the tank also proves to be useful in the world Bad Magic Bayou. In this world, players can find another heavy iron door located on the left side of Mumbo’s Skull that leads to a similar Puzzle Room as the one in Grunty’s GmbH. Overall, the transformation is a vital and powerful tool that players can use to overcome obstacles and discover hidden treasures.
