M-Tanks (or Mystery Tanks) are pickups similar to E-Tanks, but with a more powerful effect. When used, they completely restore the player's health and refill the Weapon Energy for all of their weapons. Because of these powerful effects, the player is limited to carrying only one M-Tank at a time.
M-Tanks have appeared since Mega Man 5, where it could be collected once, and the player cannot find the other tanks if they already have one M-Tank. Here, it can be found if the player character has one M-Tank, but collecting it only wastes the tank.
Trivia
- Initially, if the M-Tank was used when the player's health and weapons were all full, it would turn all weak enemies on screen into extra lives, or give the player one extra life if no weak enemies were near. If this change was intentional, it was most likely done to prevent the M-Tank from being too overpowered.
- In Mega Man IV, Mega Man V, and Mega Man 7, there was the S-Tank, which worked exactly like the M-Tank.
