Anchors in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' are rare items that can only be received at a special [[Toad House|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. It also appears in cutscenes before Airship levels, where Mario climbs the chain while the Anchor is being hoisted up. | Anchors in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' are rare items that can only be received at a special [[Toad House|White Mushroom House]] after collecting a certain number of [[coin]]s in a certain [[level]] in the even-numbered worlds.

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. | |||

An anchor can be acquired in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'' of the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' series in either [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing|Mario Brothers Plumbing]] or a portion of the [[Airship|Doom Ship]], and it can be used by [[Mario]] to reach the poop deck of the Doom Ship, where [[Roy Koopa]] is holding [[Luigi]] captive. An anchor can also be found in the subsequent book, ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', but it is a dud item; its only purpose is to drag Luigi down if he falls into a body of water, causing a [[Game Over]]. | |||

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 is dropped, the level is completed. | There is also an anchor in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' that can be found in the [[SS Tea Cup]] world.
