Tank Wars is a minigame genre in Crash Bash. The player takes control of a tank and battles with opponents. There are four Tank Wars minigames: Desert Fox, Metal Fox, Jungle Fox and Swamp Fox. The boss fight with the Komodo Brothers, Big Bad Fox, is a Tank Wars variant too.
Wumpa fruit restores the player's health. The player can also collect mines and plant them on the ground. The mines have a large damage radius and take away a large amount of health if they get caught in it when they detonate.
In Battle and Tournament Modes, the Tank Wars minigames are not available from the beginning, and can be unlocked when a player unlocks them in adventure mode. Every tank wars minigame ends with the word "Fox".
