The '''Koopa Cruiser''' is [[Bowser]]'s personal [[airship]] that is used in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''.

[[File:Koopa Cruiser deck MLSS.png|thumb|left|Bowser, Mario and Luigi on the deck of the Koopa Cruiser.]]
In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', the Koopa Cruiser was used to transport [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Bowser and the [[Bowser's Minions|Bowser Baddies]] to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] while the Mario Bros. and Bowser were temporarily working together to regain [[Princess Peach]]'s voice from [[Cackletta]]. Aboard the cruiser, the Mario Bros. have their passport photos taken by a Koopa [[photographer]] in order to cross the border. The Cruiser's [[Pinch Crane]] takes Luigi to above deck where he is later joined by his brother. Above deck, the Mario Bros. and Bowser confront Cackletta after catching up to her where they are introduced to her henchman [[Fawful]]. After the battle against Fawful, he summons a [[Vacuum Helmet]] and uses it to shoot fireballs at the Koopa Cruiser, heavily damaging it and causing it to crash down to [[Stardust Fields]]. If the Mario Bros. speak to the battered crew of Koopas, one of them says that they had not finished paying it off.

The Cruiser is later used by [[Bowletta]] and Fawful; it is still heavily damaged, but repaired just enough to be functional. The evil duo kidnapped Princess Peach (who turned out to be Luigi in disguise) and the [[Beanstar]] in order to awaken it using the princess's voice. Their attempt was unsuccessful because Luigi stalled them with help from the Koopa Cruiser's [[Pinch Crane]] and managed to not only escape but also returned the Beanstar to [[Beanbean Castle]]. It is unknown what happens to the Koopa Cruiser after the events of the game.


The '''Koopa Cruiser''' is [[Bowser]]'s personal [[airship]]. It was used in ''[[Mario  & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' to transport [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and Bowser to the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] while the Mario Bros. and Bowser were temporarily working together. After the battle against [[Fawful]], the Koopa Cruiser crashed down to [[Stardust Fields]]. The Cruiser (in a poorly-repaired form) was later used by [[Bowletta]] to capture [[Princess Peach]], who turned out to be Luigi in disguise, although their attempt at doing so was unsuccessful as Luigi, stalling them with help from the Koopa Cruiser's [[Pinch Crane]], managed to not only escape but also return the [[Beanstar]] to [[Beanbean Castle]]. It is unknown what happened to the Koopa Cruiser after the events of the game - it is likely it returned in Bowser's possession.
In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', the role of the Koopa Cruiser retains its role from the original game, but is expanded upon in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. At the start of the mode, the Koopa Cruiser crashes, separating Bowser's minions. After the [[Teehee Valley]] missions are completed, the [[Lakitu]] finds the ruined Koopa Cruiser in [[Joke's End]] during the mission [[Gather the Cruiser Parts!]]. The minions to search the area for replacement parts, and get it repaired by the time of the mission [[Return of the Koopa Cruiser]], though [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] battles the minions after it is fixed. In [[The Trio's Last Stand]], [[Private Goomp]], [[Corporal Paraplonk]], and [[Sergeant Guy]] place a bomb on the Koopa Cruiser, and they must be defeated to deactivate it. The minions then use the Koopa Cruiser to reach [[Bowser's Castle]]. Afterward, when Captain Goomba sees Bowser in a present attached to Peach's plane and wonders what to do, Captain Boo mentions that flying after it is impossible since they don’t have the Koopa Cruiser anymore, implying it was blown up along with Bowser's Castle.


Another Koopa Cruiser appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' to evacuate [[Baby Bowser]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]] and the [[Toadsworth the Younger|young Toadsworth]] from [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]] after it was attacked by [[Shroob UFO]]s. The Shroob UFOs attacked the Cruiser, forcing it to drop altitude over [[Hollijolli Village]]. Baby Bowser is coaxed into into rescuing Mario and Luigi from the [[Shroobs]] and the Bros. are brought aboard. As the Cruiser flies over Peach's Castle, which had been captured by the Shroobs and was then called [[Shroob Castle]], [[Princess Shroob]] launched a missile that shot down the Cruiser sending it crashing into [[Bowser's Castle]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', another Koopa Cruiser appears, which is used to evacuate [[Baby Bowser]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]] and the [[Toadsworth the Younger|young Toadsworth]] from [[Peach's Castle]] after it was attacked by [[Shroob saucer]]s. The saucers later attacked the cruiser while it was in the air, causing Baby Mario to panic and Baby Luigi and Baby Peach to cry, forcing it to drop altitude over [[Hollijolli Village]]. Baby Bowser is coaxed into rescuing Mario and Luigi from the [[Shroob]]s and the adult brothers are brought aboard. As the cruiser flies over Peach's Castle, which had been captured by the Shroobs and was then called [[Shroob Castle]], [[Princess Shroob]] launched a [[Shroob missile]] that shot down the cruiser sending it crashing into [[Bowser's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Baby Bowser's Castle]].


Oddly, in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Bowser said the Koopa Cruiser was his new weapon, but he had used a version of it in the past. Another thing that doesn't add up is when the Koopa Cruiser crashed into [[Stardust Fields]] one of the Koopas will say that they hadn't finished paying it off; though it's possible that this was an entirely different Koopa Cruiser, considering the one Baby Bowser had owned crashed into his castle in the past and was never repaired. The main reason why this happens is ''Superstar Saga'' released before ''Partners in Time''.
It is unknown whether this Koopa Cruiser is the same as the one in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''; Bowser calls the latter one a "new weapon", suggesting it was built from scratch. It has the ability to fire spiked cannonballs, but quickly ran out of ammo just before the Shroob missile strikes it.


[[Koopa Troop|Bowser Baddies]] are said to be Bowser's handpicked troops that help pilot this airship.

History[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the Koopa Cruiser was used to transport Mario, Luigi, Bowser and the Bowser Baddies to the Beanbean Kingdom while the Mario Bros. and Bowser were temporarily working together to regain Princess Peach's voice from Cackletta. Aboard the cruiser, the Mario Bros. have their passport photos taken by a Koopa photographer in order to cross the border. The Cruiser's Pinch Crane takes Luigi to above deck where he is later joined by his brother. Above deck, the Mario Bros. and Bowser confront Cackletta after catching up to her where they are introduced to her henchman Fawful. After the battle against Fawful, he summons a Vacuum Helmet and uses it to shoot fireballs at the Koopa Cruiser, heavily damaging it and causing it to crash down to Stardust Fields. If the Mario Bros. speak to the battered crew of Koopas, one of them says that they had not finished paying it off.

Bowletta and Fawful believe that they have captured Princess Peach.

The Cruiser is later used by Bowletta and Fawful; it is still heavily damaged, but repaired just enough to be functional. The evil duo kidnapped Princess Peach (who turned out to be Luigi in disguise) and the Beanstar in order to awaken it using the princess's voice. Their attempt was unsuccessful because Luigi stalled them with help from the Koopa Cruiser's Pinch Crane and managed to not only escape but also returned the Beanstar to Beanbean Castle. It is unknown what happens to the Koopa Cruiser after the events of the game.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the role of the Koopa Cruiser retains its role from the original game, but is expanded upon in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. At the start of the mode, the Koopa Cruiser crashes, separating Bowser's minions. After the Teehee Valley missions are completed, the Lakitu finds the ruined Koopa Cruiser in Joke's End during the mission Gather the Cruiser Parts!. The minions to search the area for replacement parts, and get it repaired by the time of the mission Return of the Koopa Cruiser, though Roy Koopa battles the minions after it is fixed.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, another Koopa Cruiser appears, which is used to evacuate Baby Bowser, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach and the young Toadsworth from Peach's Castle after it was attacked by Shroob saucers. The saucers later attacked the cruiser while it was in the air, causing Baby Mario to panic and Baby Luigi and Baby Peach to cry, forcing it to drop altitude over Hollijolli Village. Baby Bowser is coaxed into rescuing Mario and Luigi from the Shroobs and the adult brothers are brought aboard. As the cruiser flies over Peach's Castle, which had been captured by the Shroobs and was then called Shroob Castle, Princess Shroob launched a Shroob missile that shot down the cruiser sending it crashing into Baby Bowser's Castle.

It is unknown whether this Koopa Cruiser is the same as the one in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga; Bowser calls the latter one a "new weapon", suggesting it was built from scratch. It has the ability to fire spiked cannonballs, but quickly ran out of ammo just before the Shroob missile strikes it.

The player cannot open Stuffwell while on the Koopa Cruiser.
