Editing DS Airship Fortress

[[File:AirshipFortressMK7.png|thumb|right|{{classic|DS|Airship Fortress}} in ''Mario Kart 7'']]

Airship Fortress makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]]. The [[Finish Line (object)|grid]] has been recolored from black and yellow to red and white while the banner was changed to a unique, steel-framed wooden panel displaying the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in orange. In the straightaway following the starting line, both drop-offs can be used to perform a [[trick]] and gain a small boost. The Bullet Bills have become [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]]s, are now shot out from the [[Banzai Bill Cannon]] at faster intervals, and are no longer visible on the bottom screen map. Some of the Banzai Bills are larger in scale compared to others. The interior of the airship has some minor changes, most notably the presence of a slight curve within the cellar, while the exterior of it has a [[Warp Pipe]] added near the Pipe Cannon (similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s) and the fortress section has additional towers. The burner room now has a ventilated floor exposing the sky underneath the airship, and the [[Rocky Wrench]]es now make sounds similar to [[Monty Mole]]s. Hitting a Banzai Bill has the similar effect as getting struck by a [[Bob-omb]], a [[Bullet Bill]], or a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]], causing the player to tumble and roll over sideways.

Airship Fortress also returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Pirate Tour]], with grand graphical changes. The main tower is now part of a larger fortress, with other towers in the background. The location of the course changes from the sky to a lava-filled ocean, as well as the sky being much more orange in color, as opposed to the purple hue it originally bestowed. Several lit torches were added to the sides of the track before the main airship and on each column of the main tower and hanging lanterns on the main airship's deck. The starting banner is now made of stone that is held up by two small towers, and the ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner is the modern logo, colored cyan. The main airship and several others are a more lighter brown in color, with their masts now possessing propellers instead of sails. Hitting a [[Rocky Wrench]] now gives points to the player instead of making them spin-out, and players can now [[trick]] on top of Rocky Wrenches that poke their heads out of the ground. The tunnel leading to the main airship's cabin has also been given a redesign, with the doors being replaced by multiple portholes, lights, and groups of barrels and crates, while the wall separating the two rooms now resembling the type of wall seen inside a wine cellar. Additionally, the main airship's cabin has been redesigned to resemble a drinking bar, with [[Shy Guy]]s sitting on stools, bottles on shelves, a dartboard, and several tables.
