An '''Anchor''' is an [[item]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The item is rare and can only be received at a special White [[Mushroom House]] after collecting a certain number of [[coin]]s in a certain [[level]] in the even-numbered worlds. An Anchor will prevent an [[Airship]] from moving if [[Mario]] fails to clear it, thereby eliminating the need to trek long distances to try again to complete the level.

There is also an Anchor in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' that can be found in the [[SS Tea Cup]] world. It only appears in the fourth level of Chapter 2 called [[Drop the Anchor!!]]. Here, [[Wario]] has to use his attack to move it and drop it into the water. After it's dropped, the level ends.

After a long absence, the Anchor reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. The first Airship level has an anchor near it before the player actually goes to the level. Anchors do not serve the same purpose as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', however. When the first two Airship levels are cleared, Anchors replace the Airships on the map indicating that the levels have been cleared. Players can still visit the Airship levels, though.
