Unlike the other [[Airship]] levels in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], this one takes place outside of the airship, progressing to the boss arena. The first section is similar to the final part of [[1 Iggy's Castle|#1 Iggy's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where a giant object periodically comes down to crush the player. However, unlike #1 Iggy's Castle, Boarding the Airship's object is the [[Mecha Hand]] that was used to toss the Mario Bros. and Toads to [[Acorn Plains]]. During the later half of the first section, the hand starts punching the ground, destroying it in the process.

The first [[Checkpoint Flag]] can the be found on a platform. The second section takes place below the hull of the ship, and the player must use a [[Remote-Control Platform]] to progress further through the level while avoiding Burners. A [[Green Ring]] can be found above a row of [[Burner]]s. [[Rocky Wrench]]es are found at the end of this section, along with a yellow [[Warp Pipe]] that takes Mario to the second Checkpoint Flag and a [[Pipe Cannon]].

After the second Checkpoint Flag and taking the Pipe Cannon up, the final section is the boss battle with [[Bowser Jr.]], in his [[Junior Clown Car]]. Unlike before, however, Bowser Jr. equipped his vehicle with boxing gloves, which destroy the steel blocks the player has to stand on. Bowser Jr. can also toss [[Bob-omb]]s, which the player can use to harm him. After three hits, Bowser Jr. is defeated.

A cutscene plays where the player drops onto the airship, and Bowser Jr. prepares to crush Mario with the Mecha Hand, but Mario runs out of the way and it punches through the flagship itself, severely damaging it and causing it to crash outside of the tornado ahead.

==[[Star Coin]]s==
