Treasure Ship.

A Treasure Ship (also known as Coin Ship) is a large, flying vessel that appears in Super Mario Bros. 3. If Mario or Luigi ventured on a Treasure Ship, they would find dozens of coins which he could collect. Not including the ones battled at the end, there are no enemies found on the ships.

Treasure Ships are summoned through a trick that can only be performed in Grass Land, Sea Side, The Sky, and Iced Land. To do this trick, one Hammer Bro. must be on the map screen and Mario or Luigi must have a coin total ending in a multiple of 11 by the end of a stage. Additionally, the tens digit in the score must match the multiple of 11, and the timer at the end of the stage must be stopped on an even number. After doing so, upon returning to the map screen, the Hammer Bro. will be replaced with a coin-filled Treasure Ship.

Even if the Hammer Bro. is changed to a treasure ship, the enemy and its partner would still appear in the cabin. The same item would appear for defeating them.

Trivia

• The Japanese character on the mast of Treasure Ships is "宝", which means "treasure."
• The Treasure Ship always contains the same amount of items, which is 168 Coins and a hidden 1-Up Mushroom near the final Warp Pipe.
• The Treasure Ship bears a resemblance to the ship seen in the title screen of the game Shin Onigashima.
