The '''Cloudtop Cruiser''' is a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-themed {{wp|Airbus A320 family|Airbus A320}} aircraft operated by American airline {{wp|JetBlue}}. The aircraft was built in 2003 with the tail number N561JB and initially operated under the name La Vie en Blue before it acquired its current name and theme in March 2025 as part of a collaboration with [[Nintendo]] for [[MAR10 Day]].<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.flightaware.com/resources/registration/N561JB|title=N561JB Aircraft Registration|publisher=FlightAware|accessdate=March 4, 2025|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20250304152454/https://www.flightaware.com/web/20250304152454/https://www.flightaware.com/resources/registration/N561JB}}</ref><ref name="MD2025">{{cite|date=March 4, 2025|url=https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/nintendo-announces-fun-ways-to-enjoy-mar10-day-wherever-you-are/|title=Nintendo announces fun ways to enjoy MAR10 Day wherever you are|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=March 4, 2025|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20250304170613/https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/nintendo-announces-fun-ways-to-enjoy-mar10-day-wherever-you-are/}}</ref>

==Design==
The sides of the Cloudtop Cruiser depict artwork of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Bowser]] next to a white JetBlue logo and over a light-blue background. Its underside, tail fin, and engines are colored red, and are separated from the light-blue part by yellow stripes with [[Super Star]]s; Super Stars also appear on the underside and winglets. The ''Super Mario'' logo is depicted on the tail fin. Next to the front passenger door, there is a small white silhouette of Mario jumping with "HERE WE GO!" written under it. ''Super Mario'' characters are present in the welcome screen of the aircraft's setback touchscreens.<ref name="MD2025" />

A time lapse video of the livery painting process was featured in a post published on [[Nintendo Today!]] on April 17, 2025.
