| | The Sky Pop is used only in World 4-3 of the [[Chai Kingdom]]. It can fire missiles with unlimited ammunition. [[Mario]] uses it primarily to defeat [[Chicken (enemy)|Chickens]], [[Biokinton]], [[Roketon]]s, and [[Tatanga]]. After defeating Tatanga, Mario flies off with [[Princess Daisy]] in a separate flying machine that is jet-powered and has two seats. In Japanese-exclusive media, however, this jet has been mistakenly known as the Sky Pop II. |
| A [[Costume Mario]] costume based on the original sprite of [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] piloting the Sky Pop [[Costume_Mario#112|appears]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. The costume was officially released on January 6, 2016, and can be unlocked by completing the "[[Southwest Air Adventure]]" [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|Event Course]]. All of the costume's sound effects and fanfares (transformation, jumping, clearing a course, and losing a life) are taken from ''Super Mario Land''. Pressing up on the {{button|wii|pad}} causes Mario's legs to appear from under the plane and face the screen, playing the sound for collecting a [[coin]] from ''Super Mario Land''.

| ===''Game Boy''===
| |
| [[File:Game boy sky pop defense system.png|left|thumb|Schematics for the "Sky Pop Defense System".]]
| |
| The Sky Pop plays a major role in the issue "[[Team Play]]" of the ''[[Game Boy (comic)|Game Boy]]'' limited comic book series. After [[Greg Campbell]] informs Mario of [[Pionpi]]'s Pacific island fortress, Mario takes off from the [[USS Nimitz]]. As he closes by the fortress, the Sky Pop is ambushed by flying enemies, and Mario notices the island's defenses are using real-world ammunition.
| |
| | |
| Heavily damaged, Mario takes the Sky Pop back to the carrier and makes a crash landing. The plane is caught in extremis by Greg, and Mario requests to be given access to the carrier's weapons. Greg is initially reluctant, but reasons that Tatanga's forces have invaded U.S. territory by taking over the island, and draws up with Mario the "Sky Pop Defense System", a frame around the plane able to outfit a pair of {{wp|M61 Vulcan|Vulcan}} cannons, {{wp|AIM-9 Sidewinder|Sidewinder}}, {{wp|AIM-54 Phoenix|Phoenix}} and {{wp|AGM-65 Maverick|Maverick}} missiles, and {{wp|GBU-10 Paveway II|GBU-10E/B Paveway II}} laser-guided bombs. The Sky Pop takes off again (confusing two command tower operators) and Mario assaults the island fortress forces, now easily destroying them with his new weapons. Mario lands on the island and confronts Pionpi, but he soon takes off in the Sky Pop again when he learns a friendly {{wp|F/A-18 Hornet}} from the carrier's detachment has been heavily damaged and is on course to crash with the Nimitz. From the Sky Pop, Mario grabs the left wing and manages to right the plane up, ensuring a safe landing.
| |
| | |
| The Sky Pop reappears briefly in the series' final issue, [[Pipes is Pipes]]. When [[Michael Hallis]] summons Mario from the Game Boy, Mario immediately appears piloting the Sky Pop, and uses it to fly to Clam Creek's nuclear reactor. Later, Michael's mother picks up the plane offscreen and puts it in her personal locker. After retrieving Mario from an inspector at the facility, Mario wakes up and attempts to take off with the Sky Pop to rescue Michael, but he is too weakened by his radiation exposure to fly it. Michael's mother instead puts Mario in her bag and drives home.

| The Sky Pop in ''[[Mario & Wario]]'' is shown to have a conventional-type landing gear configuration, but uses a monopod instead of a tailwheel. It appears after clearing the tenth stage, [[Wario Tei]], where the Sky Pop is used to intercept [[Wario]] and drop one of his enchanted [[Barrel]]s on his head.

| The Sky Pop appears at the end of ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' of the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|''Super Mario'' manga]] published by KC Deluxe. It is said to have been used by [[Dousi]] in his youth, who had mastered it and tells Mario that he needs to make good use of his thumb and index finger. This is later revealed to be a suggestion on how to shoot more efficiently. The plane's console is designed as a [[Game Boy]]: by shooting missiles while holding down the {{button|gb|a}} button and repeatedly pressing the {{button|gb|b}} button, the pilot is able to shoot faster.

Later, Mario uses the [[Sky Pop II]] to attack the [[Tetton Daimajin]] and manages to land a few hits before King Tetris displays a picture of Princess Daisy showing off her leg on the outer screen of the robot to distract him and swats him with the robot's hands.
