Infantry and Tanks are the basic attack units seen in all ''Advance Wars'' games. The ones seen in ''Brawl'' are red, which is one of the four colors which are given to a player based on player order (1st player - red, 2nd player - blue, 3rd player - green, 4th - yellow). Infantry have the least amount of power (also compared to their counterparts that wield more powerful weapons like bazookas), but are useful in that they can capture enemy bases and conquer buildings. Tanks have more power, but aren't as powerful as the other vehicles. ''Advance Wars'', ''[[warswiki:Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising|Advance Wars 2]]'', and ''[[warswiki:Advance Wars: Dual Strike|Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'' all use the same sprites for each unit.

Infantry & Tanks is an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, taken from the Advance Wars series. They form the bulk of the player's fighting force in every game in which they appear. They were first confirmed as an Assist Trophy in a gameplay video from Nintendo, but were later confirmed on 14th March 2008 on the Smash Bros. DOJO!!.

Infantry and Tanks as seen in Advance Wars

Infantry and Tanks are the basic attack units seen in all Advance Wars games. The ones seen in Brawl are red, which is one of the four colors which are given to a player based on player order (1st player - red, 2nd player - blue, 3rd player - green, 4th - yellow). Infantry have the least amount of power and have low mobility, but are useful in that they can capture enemy bases and conquer buildings. Tanks have more power than infanty, and their mobility is considerably higher, are weaker compared to other vehicles, such as the Medium Tank and Artillery. Advance Wars, Advance Wars 2, and Advance Wars: Dual Strike all use the same sprites for each unit.

The sound that plays when Infantry and Tanks are summoned first appeared in the intro for the Famicom game Famicom Wars. [1]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As an Assist Trophy

Infantry & Tanks is one of six Assist Trophies that needs to be unlocked before it can be used. Upon being unleashed from the trophy, GBA sprites of Soldiers and Tanks will emerge, shooting bullets and missiles, which will damage any opposing players. While the soldiers and tanks are marching around, an air-raid siren will sound. Much like Excitebikes and Lakitu & Spinies, this Assist Trophy is represented by actual sprites from a game they appeared in other than Brawl.

How to Unlock

Play a total of 300 matches of Brawls or related modes.

Trophy Description

Trophy

Units first introduced in Famicom Wars, where they fight battles against enemy forces. Infantry are the least expensive to deploy of all units. They're not too strong, but they move well and can capture property. There are two tank types: tank A, which is expensive but has good mobility and firepower, and tank B which is cheaper but can change battles with sheer numbers.

  • Famicom Wars (Japan Only)
  • Advance Wars

Trivia

  • These particular units are members of the Orange Star army, which has been the main force of the series since Advance Wars on the GBA.
  • Although the Assist Trophy is in sprite form, the bullets from the tanks are in 3-D form.
  • Despite a Headquarters building being prominently featured in the Infantry & Tanks design on the DOJO!! website and even their in-game Trophy, the HQ never appears when the characters are actually summoned during a match.
  • Although called "Infantry and Tanks", the sprite has one Tank, not more than one Tank.
