SS Brass

The S.S. Brass is a flying boat made out of instruments. The name S.S. Brass is a combination of the term "S.S.", an abbreviation of "Steam Ship" (which means the S.S. Brass runs on steam), and Brass, a family of musical instruments.

In Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, Mario (or Luigi and Toad) use it to fly across the Mushroom Kingdom to get the Music Keys. The songs "In The Whirlpool", "Step by Step" and "Always Smiling" are set on the S.S. Brass. The main form of propulsion, powered by the trumpet-like turbines, gets revamped into trombone-like, or French horn-like turbines depending on the level, after the player defeats Pirate Lakitu in Fishing Frenzy. An unlockable minigame titled Fire Up the SS Brass involves maneuvering the ship through tunnels.
