The Tank is a vehicle that was introduced in the first Ape Escape.
Appearance[]
In Ape Escape, the Tank is a green tank with the Professor's logo on it. In Ape Escape 2, it takes the likeness of a teal elephant, with spherical "eyes" and ear-like protrusions. In Ape Escape 3 the color was changed to a dark blue camo and the logo changed to Aki.
In Ape Escape: Pumped & Primed each character has their own tank to fit their style. Spike's tank is identical to his one in Ape Escape, only without the Professor's logo.
Usage[]
In most games, the left and right treads of the Tank are controlled by the left and right analog sticks. Pushing them both forward directs the Tank forward, pushing them both backward puts the Tank in reverse, and pointing them in opposite directions turns the Tank. The main cannon is fired with L3, and the machine gun is fired with R3.
In Ape Escape: On the Loose, the controls were modified due to the lack of a right analog stick on the PSP. Here, the left stick controls all movement (up and down moves forward and backward, left and right turns). The main cannon is fired with Square, and the machine gun is fired with Circle.
