'''{{world|8|airship}}''' is the third and final [[Airship]] level and penultimate stage of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Here, [[Bowser Jr.]] is fought for the third and final time, this time with [[Bowser]]'s [[Koopa Clown Car]]. {{world|8|airship}} is unlocked by clearing either {{world-link|8|6|World 8-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} or {{world-link|8|7|World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, and its own completion unlocks the final stage of the game, {{world-link|8|bowser|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}.

The level begins near some [[crate]]s, as well as a [[Screwtop|screw]] that moves a [[Screwtop Platform]] blocking the path when the player spins on it. Two [[Mechakoopa]]s also come from a Screwtop Platform above. A section of [[cannon]]s firing [[cannonball]] follows. More crates, as well as a cannon that fires [[giant cannonball]]s, are followed by a few more cannons. More crates and Mechakoopas are found, along with three [[giant cannon]]s. A [[Screwtop Lift]] is found, along with a giant cannon. After that, there is a [[Warp Pipe]] on the giant [[quartet-cannon]], leading the player to the next area. A screw is used to lower hanging platforms, followed by another screw that controls Screwtop Platforms. A Warp Pipe leads the player to the next section of the level.

A screw that controls [[coin]]s is found, along with a Mechakoopa. A [[Red Ring]] is found, along with another screw that controls a metal platform. Another Screwtop Lift is found, with a Screwtop Platform also controlled by a screw in the way. The [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]] then follows. Yet another Screwtop Lift is found, leading to a platform with a Mechakoopa on it. A screw that controls a large section of Screwtop Platforms, with some crates, a Mechakoopa, and the Warp Pipe leading to Bowser Jr. are found at the end.

In the end, there is the last battle against Bowser Jr., whose defeat provides access to {{world-link|8|bowser|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, the site of the final showdown against Bowser. During the fight, Bowser Jr. prepares to fight with his broken [[Junior Clown Car]], but uses Bowser's [[Koopa Clown Car]] instead. He attacks Mario with fireballs and spiked [[bomb]]s, which can be used to defeat him by [[Ground Pound]]ing the ground. After the second hit, the Koopa Clown Car begins releasing larger bombs. After the third hit with a [[Giant Spiked Ball]], he is defeated. Mario and Luigi see Princess Peach in the airship. Before the Bros. can save her, Kamek kidnaps Peach and takes her away, ending the level.

|The first Star Coin is floating high up in the air in the area with several [[cannon]]s. To obtain it, Mario and co. can either fly up to it with a [[Propeller Suit]], or jump up to it with the [[cannonball]]s or a well-timed [[Triple Jump|triple jump]].
|-
|[[File:NSMBW W8-AS 2nd Star Coin.jpg|150px]]
|Just after the [[midway point]] are two platforms with two [[Mechakoopa]]s and the second Star Coin trapped inside. Mario and co. must ride the nearby Screwtop Lift under them and subsequently jump at the right time to get it without touching a Mechakoopa.

|A Propeller Suit is required for this one. Soon after the second Star Coin, there is a lone [[Screwtop|screw]]. Mario and co. must spin on it to make the third Star Coin emerge from under the nearby platform, jump to it, and activate the Propeller Suit to fly to safety before falling.
