Welcome to tanks.brightsoo.com! This is a site dedicated to Wii Tanks (what is it?), mostly in the form of strategy guides and video captures (for those who haven’t reached the higher missions in the game but want to see them). To see more what this site is all about and why I made it, see About This Site.
Guide to this site
For those interested in strategies, read the Overall Startegy Guide first, then click on a mission number below for a strategy guide specific to the mission (with video demo of how I beat it) – I haven’t written all of them yet, so some of them are grayed out:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 |
| 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100 |
You can also see List of Missions for screenshots of each mission’s block layout (and why not all 100 missions are listed above). In parallel, you may also want to check out List of Enemy Tanks, which lists all enemy tank types in this game, brief descriptions of each tank, the missions they first appear in, and of course links to tank-specific strategy guides.
Check out the miscellaneous section for interesting trivia of the game.

I hope you enjoy this site!
In this article I’ll talk about some general techniques in this game as well as some general strategies. They have helped me reach Mission 100, and I hope they’ll help you too! (Your mileage may vary…) Since techniques are vital to carrying out any strategies you have, we’ll talk about techniques first. (Scroll down for general strategies, or for mission-specific strategies see List of Missions.)

Strategies
Techniques:
- Lead the enemy tank, i.e. aim at where it is going instead of where it is at. This is the most basic technique next to aiming directly at your opponent. It is effective in the most basic of circumstances, i.e. you’re trying to destroy a moving tank. Obviously, this doesn’t apply to stationary tanks.
Missions beyond 20 are randomized, except for the 8 milestone missions 30, 40, …, 100. Therefore, below are screenshots for missions 1 to 20, plus the 8 milestone missions, with links to the corresponding video captures and misison-specific strategy guides where available.
Randomized Missions
Each of the “randomized” missions feature a battlefield randomly picked from an earlier mission, which may be a milestone mission. Interestingly though, a few milestone missions, such as mission 20, are never picked. Furthermore, also randomized is the mix of enemy tank types and their initial placements. However, one thing is never randomized – the number of enemy tanks in each mission is pre-determined and never changes.

Mission 1
This table lists the various types of enemy tanks with their armament, strengths, weaknesses, and other characteristics. Click on a tank’s icon to go to the strategy guide specific to the tank type.
Mission 13 is not a difficult level – the green tanks that made their debut in Mission 12 are taking a day off – but it’s no picnic either, due to the fact that you have 3 yellow tanks (for which I expressed my distaste here) and 3 teal ones (which become a real threat only because you’re distracted by the yellow ones).
There are several possible strategies to tackle this level, which is another way of saying they aren’t vital for survival. 
But here’s one that can be used to beat the level systematically:
Strategy: Stay on the left side, be constantly moving up and down (where possible) to evade missiles from the teal tanks, and take out the yellow tanks first. Most likely, the teal tanks will stay on the right side.
Tactic: Start out like the video above by fanning and rebounding off the lower barricades to attempt taking out the middle yellow tank, and immediately run so as to evade the green tanks’ missiles. However, unlike the video above, don’t find yourself tucked into the lower left corner having to watch out for rounds travelling along the bottom of the screen, partially obscured by the bottom wall – that was unwise of me but I got lucky. 
Then, just try to track down all the yellow tanks, and when you’re left with just the teal ones, simply use what you’ve learned about them to take them out.
Next up: Mission 14. (You’re not gonna like what you see…)
