'''Boarding the Airship''', or '''{{world|Clouds|airship}}''', is the final course of [[Meringue Clouds]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Unlike other the [[Airship]] levels in the [[Mario (series)|Mario series]], this one takes place outside of the airship, working its way up to the boss arena. Before the course starts, there is a short cutscene of the flagship engaging the player.

It is unlocked via completion of [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]] and its own completion unlocks the path to [[Meteor Moat]].

The entirety of the course is an autoscrolling level. The first section is similar to the final part of [[Iggy's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where a giant object periodically comes down to crush the player. However, unlike Iggy's Castle, Boarding the Airship's object is the giant mechanical hand that was used to toss the [[Mario Bros.]] and [[Toad]]s to [[Acorn Plains]]. During the latter half of the first section, the hand will start punching the ground, destroying it in the process.

Boarding the Airship, or Meringue Clouds-Airship, is the final course of Meringue Clouds in New Super Mario Bros. U. Just like in The Mighty Cannonship (All Aboard! in New Super Luigi U) before it, the course is not seen until the player reaches its spot. It is unlocked via completion of Ludwig's Clockwork Castle and its own completion unlocks the path to Meteor Moat.

Layout[edit]

Mario battles Bowser Jr. in the level, Boarding the Airship.
Mario fighting Bowser Jr.

Unlike the other Airship levels in the Super Mario franchise, this one takes place outside of the airship, progressing to the boss arena. The first section is similar to the final part of #1 Iggy's Castle in Super Mario World, where a giant object periodically comes down to crush the player. However, unlike #1 Iggy's Castle, Boarding the Airship's object is the Mecha Hand that was used to toss the Mario Bros. and Toads to Acorn Plains. During the later half of the first section, the hand starts punching the ground, destroying it in the process.

The first Checkpoint Flag can the be found on a platform. The second section takes place below the hull of the ship, and the player must use a Remote-Control Platform to progress further through the level while avoiding Burners. A Green Ring can be found above a row of Burners. Rocky Wrenches are found at the end of this section, along with a yellow Warp Pipe that takes Mario to the second Checkpoint Flag and a Pipe Cannon.

After the second Checkpoint Flag and taking the Pipe Cannon up, the final section is the boss battle with Bowser Jr., in his Junior Clown Car. Unlike before, however, Bowser Jr. equipped his vehicle with boxing gloves, which destroy the steel blocks the player has to stand on. Bowser Jr. can also toss Bob-ombs, which the player can use to harm him. After three hits, Bowser Jr. is defeated.

A cutscene plays where the player drops onto the airship, and Bowser Jr. prepares to crush Mario with the Mecha Hand, but Mario runs out of the way and it punches through the flagship itself, severely damaging it and causing it to crash outside of the tornado ahead.

Star Coins[edit]
