All Aboard!, or Soda Jungle-Airship, is the airship course of Soda Jungle in New Super Luigi U. It is unlocked by completing Wendy's Thwomp Castle or Larry's Trigger-Happy Castle, and its own completion unlocks Giant Swing-Along. Completing either Cheep Chomp Chase or Slippery Rope Ladders involve skipping this level entirely.

Much like the first Hand Trap level of Dark Land in Super Mario Bros. 3, this airship contains every type of Hammer Brother in the game.

The level starts with the player jumping onto an airship, facing a Nut below two ? Blocks and above a Fire Bro, with the level's first Star Coin in a gap hidden behind it, just after the Nut track ends. The player would then reach a platform with an Ice Bro on it, and a Mechakoopa underneath. Another set of Nuts is found above a pit, followed by a Boomerang Bro on a platform. Two more ? Blocks (the right one holding an Ice Flower) are found just before a set of Nuts, with the game's only two Sledge Bros. stationed on platforms under the Nut's track (with the second Sledge Bro). Jumping on the platform of the first Sledge Bro on flips out two Brick Blocks for the player to get on the Nuts, while getting on the platform with the second Sledge Bro (as well as the level's second Star Coin) flips out two bricks by the right wall of the pit. Next are two Mechakoopas and four crates (the first of which holds the level's third Star Coin), followed by a set of Nuts in midair and two platforms with a single Hammer Bro. After this, a shallow pit of water is found, with ten coins over a red Warp Pipe that takes the player to a water-filled room with a ceiling of 14 pipes, where Bowser Jr. is waiting in his Junior Clown Car's submarine form.

The battle plays out the same way it did in New Super Mario Bros. U. After taunting the player, Bowser Jr. would move around the arena, occasionally deploying Targeting Teds, homing Torpedo Teds that the player must lure into hitting Bowser Jr. When hit by his own torpedo for the first time, Bowser Jr. summons three Torpedo Ted's from each side of the arena. After being hit for a second time, he calls in four Torpedo Teds from the ceiling and another four from the floor. After the third hit, Bowser Jr. and his Clown Car fall off the stage, defeated, as the water is drained from the room, ending the level. After the player celebrates in victory, however, Bowser Jr. rises back up, his Clown Car now in its standard flying configuration, taunting the player as he summons the Mecha Hand to swipe them away, though the player manages to evade the attack at the last second and leap off the airship, to Bowser Jr.'s surprise.

Star Coins

  • Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is found in a hidden area after a set of Nuts, behind the Fire Bro at the beginning of the level.
  • Star Coin 2: The Star Coin is located under a set of Nuts, right on the platform the second Sledge Bro is standing on.
  • Star Coin 3: The last Star Coin is found inside the first of four wooden crates found after the second Star Coin.
