'''Moto Shotzo''' is a species of [[Shotzo]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|its remake]] which are distinct from other Shotzos simply because it is mobile and destructible.  It sports a white cannon upper-half, a red bottom-half, and four round spheres for support. <br clear=all>

[[Category:Enemies]]
[[File:KSS Moto Shotzo.png]] [[File:KSSU Moto Shotzo.png]] Moto Shotzo debuted in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and later appeared in its [[Kirby Super Star Ultra|remake]]. Although its name contains [[Shotzo]], the enemy does not resemble a traditional Shotzo much in behavior apart from its ability to fire cannonballs, primarily due to being mobile and destructible. Inhaling and swallowing a Moto Shotzo does not grant [[Kirby]] any [[Copy Ability]]. It is a somewhat rare enemy, only appearing in two stages of the game (with an extra appearance in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'').

In the ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Quest]], a [[Kirby]] rides a Moto Shotzo in one of the Awesome Attacks while guiding a mechanical dragon with boxing gloves. This is in reference to ''Trax'', the game from which Moto Shotzo's design derives; the mechanical dragon is the Stage 1 boss in that game.

==Trivia==
[[File:Trax JPBoxart.jpg|thumb|150px|The Japanese box art of ''Trax'', featuring a similar tank.]]
*Moto Shotzo's design is a reference to the playable tank from ''Trax'' (known in Japanese as 突撃!ポンコツタンク (''Totsugeki! Ponkotsu Tanku''), roughly "Charge! Junk Tank"), an early 1991 [[Game Boy]] game developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] before they worked on the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby'' series]].
*Moto Shotzo is one of the few enemies in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' whose appearance (in-game sprite) is exactly the same as it was in ''Kirby Super Star''.
