Bowser's Airship is an airship with Bowser's face on the front and back. Like other airships, its size and design varies from game to game.
History
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Bowser's Airship, referred to as the Doom Ship, appears regularly throughout The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Like the airships in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Doom Ship is equipped with a large amount of artillery and also possesses a trait not seen in any games featuring airships: the ability to teleport to other locations. According to the bonus disc on the Shout! Factory DVD set, the Doom Ship was built by Kooky von Koopa.
Super Mario series
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
- Main articles: Bowser's Airship 1, Bowser's Airship 2
In World-e of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, Bowser's Airship is the setting of two levels, both of which feature Bowser being fought as the boss at the end.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U
Bowser's Airship is used as the setting for two courses in both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. Like airship levels in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, they are auto-scrolling with Bowser Jr. fought in the end. The first time is in the beginning of Soda Jungle, in The Mighty Cannonship (All Aboard! in New Super Luigi U), which takes place on the deck, then the underwater cabin and ends with a boss fight against Bowser Jr. in a submarine Junior Clown Car. The second time is at the end of Meringue Clouds right after Ludwig's Clockwork Castle, in Boarding the Airship (Bowser Jr. Showdown in New Super Luigi U). Unlike the other airship courses in the series, the level starts on the ground, working its way up to the bottom of the airship, to a boss fight with Bowser Jr. in his armed Junior Clown Car. At the very end of this course, Bowser Jr. accidentally damages the airship and crashes it right outside Peach's Castle and remains there until the game is completed.
The airship appears one more time in the ending, patched up and sputtering, as the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. use it to escape. It eventually crashes into a hill because of Bowser jumping aboard and his weight bringing it down, completely destroying it.
Super Mario Odyssey
Bowser's Airship, now colored white and purple and heavily decorated, appears in Super Mario Odyssey. The airship has undergone a small redesign, now sporting fifteen propellers instead of five, sails, what appear to be Power Moon tanks and a variety of smaller embellishments. Rather than the usual theme, the new airship theme from Super Mario Maker for the Super Mario Bros. style plays during scenes in which it flies away.
Mario Party 10
Template:Quote2 Bowser's Airship, referred to as simply Bowser's ship, also appears in Mario Party 10 on the Airship Central board, though only in the second and third sections on the board. It also appears in the background of the Bowser Board during amiibo Party.
Minecraft
In the premade world for the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Bowser's Airship from New Super Mario Bros. U can be found near the entrance to the Valley of Bowser.
Paper Mario: The Origami King
- “Whaddaya think, Mario? We probably woulda used this against you! Maybe we still will. Don't look around too much when you're on board!”
- —Bowser Jr., Paper Mario: The Origami King
Bowser's Airship appears near the end of Paper Mario: The Origami King, after Mario and Olivia have destroyed all five streamers. It resembles one of the airships from Paper Mario: Color Splash but with the Bowser figurehead in the front and has eight propellers this time. It is stored inside a garage in an indoor hangar of Bowser's Castle until Mario presses a button (next to the one that Kamek had pressed by mistake) that makes the airship emerge from the garage and dock itself at the hangar. Once the remnants of Bowser's army all climb aboard, they travel to Peach's Castle, but are intercepted by King Olly's Paper Plane Squadron. The minions manage to fend some of them off with their own weaponry, while Mario picks up the slack via a Bob-omb cannon hidden within the ship's figurehead, but everyone is caught off guard when a particularly large plane crashes into the ship's side, sending it and its occupants crashing into Hotfoot Crater. Though the ship is beyond repair, its cannon is still functional, as Mario, Olivia, and Bowser use it to blast themselves the rest of the way to the castle.
A Collectible Treasure of Bowser's Airship (No. 112) can be found in the hangar of Bowser's Castle after Mario reaches Peach's Castle. It was initially bought by a Shy Guy who was excited about the airship, but became disheartened to the point of not wanting to keep it any longer after getting left behind at the hangar. Mario can return to the hangar to find this Shy Guy; when talked to, the Shy Guy will give the treasure to Mario.
