The rocketship is a vehicle used by Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool in the episode "Stars in Their Eyes" of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Mario, while fleeing from Space Troopas in a swarm of fiery meteors, accidentally damages the rocketship when it is struck by a meteor; due to this damage, the ship loses all of its fuel and has its door knocked off, resulting in all of its supplies being sucked into space.
With the rocketship damaged, Mario is forced to crash-land it onto the planet Quirk, right on top of Astro Mouser. This crash damages the ship even more, meaning, along with getting fuel and supplies, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Toadstool need to fix the ship as well.
After a lot of trouble with Astro Mouser, Moon Man Koopa, and several Koopa Troopas, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Toadstool manage to gain all of what they need for the rocketship from the helpful Quirks. Repairing the ship, Mario leaves Quirk and battles Moon Man Koopa and his rocket. After a perilous and narrow battle, Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Toadstool manage to defeat Moon Man Koopa and release the enslaved Quirks from his rule.
Along with supplying its crew with oxygen and regulated gravity, the rocketship can shoot blasts of spaghetti and meatballs from two cannons mounted on its front fuselage for offensive purposes.
