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, taking the form of either a wooden ship or a metal 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 have an [[Airship Theme|associated theme]] that often plays in levels based in airships or scenes involving one. | ||

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]]. Finally, an entire fleet of Airships is commanded by [[Bowser Jr.]], who also rides one throughout the game.

There are also Airships in the background of [[Gateway Galaxy]], and [[Bowser's Star Reactor]], however these are not accessible without hacking. 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]]. | ||
Their propellers have been redesigned as well. | |||
There is a looped version and an unlooped version of the airship theme in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. The looped version plays in the airship level in [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]], and the unlooped version only plays in the opening where the airships appear and attack the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. The unlooped version has an intro where a small group of instruments play, followed by more instruments, and finally the whole orchestra. | There is a looped version and an unlooped version of the airship theme in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.

The Koopaling's boss battles take place inside their airships (or in the case of [[Roy Koopa]] and [[Ludwig von Koopa]], on the crow's nest of their airships) and the player must use a cannon to shoot their way in there. After the player defeats a Koopaling, Mario jumps onto that Koopaling's airship, causing it to smoke, go out of control and finally crash. Bowser's Airship is used as the setting for two courses in each game: [[The Mighty Cannonship]] in [[Soda Jungle]] and [[Boarding the Airship]] in [[Meringue Clouds]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and [[All Aboard!]] in Soda Jungle and [[Bowser Jr. Showdown]] in Meringue Clouds in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. | The Koopaling's boss battles take place inside their airships (or in the case of [[Roy Koopa]] and [[Ludwig von Koopa]], on the crow's nest of their airships) and the player must use a cannon to shoot their way in there.

Their propellers appear to be the same ones from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', except that they're completely modified. | |||
