An '''Airship''' (written either capitalized or lowercase) is a large, propeller | An '''Airship''' (written either capitalized or lowercase) is a large, propeller and [[Burner]]-driven ship that can soar through the sky. The Airships' designs and sizes vary from game to game, often taking the form of a wooden ship, and they are most commonly equipped with [[cannon]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. [[Bowser]] also possesses [[Bowser's Airship|his own Airship]], as seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where [[Princess Peach]] is held captive as she is taken away to [[Bowser's Castle]]. | ||

Airships first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where several of them are used by the [[Koopalings]] in their invasion of the [[Mushroom World]]. Gameplay-wise, they represent the last level of each world (except for [[Dark Land]]), flying above the [[Kings|king]]'s castle. In these levels, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] must avoid the heavy artillery and [[Rocky Wrench]]es to reach the main cabin, where the Airship's captain is fought. If Mario or Luigi fails to clear the level, the Airship flies away to another location on the world map, unless it is weighed down by an [[Anchor]], where it will remain in the same place. After the [[Magic Wand|magic wand]] is secured, the Airship vanishes, and Mario falls down into the castle and gives the scepter back to the king. | Airships first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where several of them are used by the [[Koopalings]] in their invasion of the [[Mushroom World]].

Bowser's air force is composed of either 18 aircraft (NES and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] versions) or 15 aircraft ([[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version), including one cargo loader and a command ship manned by [[Boom Boom]]. On page 34 of the manual for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Lemmy's character quote mentions that he heard that his father, Bowser, was creating new weapons, although they are not specified. It is likely that these weapons are the small airships, the tanks, and battleships.<ref>「マリオのヤツがどこまでガンバレルか{{hover|楽|たの}}しみだなー。ワールドのマップも{{hover|先|さき}}へ{{hover|進|すす}}むにつれ、どんどん{{hover|複雑|ふくざつ}}で{{hover|広大|こうだい}}なものになってくるよ。それはそうと、{{hover|暗黒|あんこく}}の{{hover|国|くに}}だけはオヤジしか{{hover|知|し}}らなくて{{hover|何|なに}}もわかんないんだ。でも、{{hover|何|なに}}か、すごい{{hover|新兵器|しんへいき}}を{{hover|作|つく}}ってるのをちらっと{{hover|見|み}}たことがあるよ。」 ("''I'm looking forward to see how far can Mario go.

Similar to Airships, Treasure Ships can be found in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' after a level is finished with a [[coin]] total that is a multiple of 11, the tens digit in the score matches this number, and the last digit on the timer is an even number, which causes a [[Hammer Bro]] on the world map to transform into a Treasure Ship. | Similar to Airships, Treasure Ships can be found in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' after a level is finished with a [[coin]] total that is a multiple of 11, the tens digit in the score matches this number, and the last digit on the timer is an even number, which causes a [[Hammer Bro]] on the world map to transform into a Treasure Ship. | ||

The music used on these Airship stages is later arranged and used in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''Super Mario Galaxy'', ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

Besides their appearance in the main game, the GBA remake of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'', has them appear in four e-Reader levels: [[Airship's Revenge]], [[Armored Airship]], [[Bowser's Airship 1]], and [[Bowser's Airship 2]], where they are piloted by Morton Koopa Jr., Lemmy Koopa, [[Boom Boom]], and Bowser, respectively. The GBA remake also marks the first appearance of [[Bowser's Airship]]. Out of the four Airship e-Reader levels, Airship's Revenge was the only one of the four that was playable in the English version after the e-Reader's discontinuation in its original release. However, the Virtual Console version for the Wii U eventually included all the e-Reader levels. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop]] attack [[Peach's Castle]] with Airships. Later in the game, [[Mario]] has to fight enemies on Airships. There are three Airship stages. In the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], two Airships are commanded by [[King Kaliente]]. In the Space Junk Galaxy, a larger group of Airships are led by [[Kamella]].

Airships appear during the opening and closing cutscenes of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. While traveling to the center of the universe, the [[Comet Observatory]] pushes through as cannonballs are fired from the airships guarding [[Peach's Castle]]. Later, the airships are sucked into the supermassive [[black hole]], along with the observatory and the castle. In this game and subsequent games, the Airships have been redesigned to resemble naval galleons, similar to how they appeared in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' artwork. These galleons have few decks for Mario to explore, unlike the original sprawling, side-scrolling ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' airship levels. They also have doors that cannot be opened, but spinning next to them yields a [[Coin]]. A wrecked airship is also featured in [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]]. | ||

An airship (also known as a '''Sky Ship''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Prima Official Game Guide. Pages 11 and 18.</ref>) also appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where [[Bowser Jr.]] and the [[Koopalings]] use it to escape with the kidnapped [[Princess Peach]]. This resembles the airship Bowser uses in the opening sequence of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]].'' Mario and his friends end up chasing it throughout the game, with the airship dropping one of the Koopalings off at the world's [[tower]]. Upon defeating the Koopaling at the [[castle]] at the end of each world, Mario and company walk outside to see Bowser Jr. boarding the airship and taking off, with Peach crying for help from the deck. In Worlds 4 and 6, however, Bowser Jr. gets left behind by the airship, and he gets chased back into it by Mario and the gang, who board it as well and fight Bowser Jr. at the end, only for them to be dumped outside to continue the pursuit. With the airship no longer present in the world, an anchor is seen in its place on the map and level preview screen. | |||

Airships | Airships appear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. One of these vehicles is owned by [[Boom Boom]] and [[Pom Pom]]. They come with new features such as [[Skewer]]s added. After defeating Boom Boom or Pom Pom in the airship, the player has to keep walking to the [[Goal Pole]] instead of ending the level immediately after defeating the boss, as in previous games, as these bosses actually disappear, leaving their coins behind and a [[Warp Pipe]] appears. In some of the levels of the secret worlds, the Airships simply require that the player reach the goal, with only one Airship level having Boom Boom and Pom Pom as mandatory bosses (although in another Airship level, the player can fight Boom Boom by accessing a pipe, the fight on that level is completely optional and only acts as a shortcut to the other ship barring somersaulting through a brick barrier). | ||
