An '''Airship''' (written either capitalized or lowercase) is a large, propeller and [[Burner]]-driven ship that can soar through the sky. The Airships' designs and sizes vary from game to game and they are most commonly equipped with [[cannon]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. [[Bowser]] also possesses [[Bowser's Airship|his own Airship]], as seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where [[Princess Peach]] is held captive as she is taken away to [[Bowser's Castle]].
An '''Airship''' (written either capitalized or lowercase) is a large, propeller and [[Burner]]-driven ship that can soar through the sky. The Airships' designs and sizes vary from game to game, taking the form of either a wooden ship or a metal ship, and they are most commonly equipped with [[cannon]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. [[Bowser]] also possesses [[Bowser's Airship|his own Airship]], as seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Bowser's air force is composed of either 18 aircraft (NES and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] versions) or 15 aircraft ([[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version), including one cargo loader and a command ship manned by [[Boom Boom]]. On page 34 of the manual for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Lemmy's character quote mentions that he heard that his father, Bowser, was creating new weapons, although they are not specified. It is likely that these weapons are the small airships, the tanks, and battleships.<ref>「マリオのヤツがどこまでガンバレルか{{hover|楽|たの}}しみだなー。ワールドのマップも{{hover|先|さき}}へ{{hover|進|すす}}むにつれ、どんどん{{hover|複雑|ふくざつ}}で{{hover|広大|こうだい}}なものになってくるよ。それはそうと、{{hover|暗黒|あんこく}}の{{hover|国|くに}}だけはオヤジしか{{hover|知|し}}らなくて{{hover|何|なに}}もわかんないんだ。でも、{{hover|何|なに}}か、すごい{{hover|新兵器|しんへいき}}を{{hover|作|つく}}ってるのをちらっと{{hover|見|み}}たことがあるよ。」 ("''I'm looking forward to see how far can Mario go.

Similar to Airships, Treasure Ships can be found in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' after a level is finished with a [[coin]] total that is a multiple of 11, the tens digit in the score matches this number, and the last digit on the timer is an even number, which causes a [[Hammer Bro]] on the world map to transform into a Treasure Ship.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop]] attack [[Peach's Castle]] with Airships. Later in the game, [[Mario]] has to fight enemies on Airships. There are three Airship stages. In the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], two Airships are commanded by [[King Kaliente]]. In the Space Junk Galaxy, a larger group of Airships are led by [[Kamella]]. Finally, an entire fleet of Airships is commanded by [[Bowser Jr.]], who also rides one throughout the game. There are also Airships in the background of [[Gateway Galaxy]], and [[Bowser's Star Reactor]], however these are not accessible without hacking. Airships appear during the opening and closing cutscenes of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]]. While traveling to the center of the universe, the [[Comet Observatory]] pushes through as cannonballs are fired from the airships guarding [[Peach's Castle]]. Later, the airships are sucked into the supermassive [[black hole]], along with the observatory and the castle.  In this game and subsequent games, the Airships have been redesigned to resemble naval galleons, similar to how they appeared in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' artwork. These galleons have few decks for Mario to explore, unlike the original sprawling, side-scrolling ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' airship levels. They also have doors that cannot be opened, but spinning next to them yields a [[Coin]]. A wrecked airship is also featured in [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]].

The airship's general appearance stays the same throughout the game, yet each time the heroes fight Bowser Jr., it is completely different on the inside.

This is the first game where an airship level starts at the stern instead of the bow.

Airships are an unlockable level theme in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and returns in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. For ''Super Mario Maker'', new airship level themes and music have been made for the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Super Mario World'' styles, since airship levels first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and did not properly appear in ''Super Mario World'' (the only airship is the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]], a mostly underwater stage). In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, the course elements appear to be metallic (consistent with the original game's color limitations) with flags, while in other styles the elements are wooden and have ropes. In the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' style in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', despite using the "Airship" name, the airship theme resembles [[The Bowser Express]].

In the original ''Super Mario 3D World'', airships do not return from ''Super Mario 3D Land'', with the airship levels being replaced by tank and train levels that host the Boom Boom and Pom Pom boss fights respectively. However, in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', multiple airships are seen, having crashed on  various places in [[Lake Lapcat]], such as [[Fur Step Island]], sometime before the events of ''Bowser's Fury''.

Airships return as levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. This time, they are green and silver, they are made of metal and steel like modern seafaring ships, sails with [[Bowser]]'s logo have been added to the mainmasts, and the figureheads of Bowser have green hair with a stream of green and pink light emanating from it. Three levels in the game take place on airships: [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Flying Battleship]] in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], [[Petal Isles Flying Battleship]] in [[Petal Isles]], and [[Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship]] in [[Deep Magma Bog]]. Additionally, gears, pillars and masts with propellers and sails can be seen in the background during the gameplay levels unlike previous 2D ''Mario'' games. Like in many previous appearances, they are auto-scrolling levels with a boss fought at the end. The music used in the airship levels is an arrangement of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''-style airship theme from the ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' games.

===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
In the [[Game Boy]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', two {{conjectural|blimp}} levels appear in the area [[Big Ape City]]. The first is [[Kong Krazy]], which is the second level of the area. Here, the Kongs must collect [[K-O-N-G Letters]] which form bridges across wide abysses found in the level. The second blimp level is [[Fast Barrel Blast]], which consists of many wide pits and high ledges. These must be crossed using [[Barrel Cannon|barrel]]s and [[tire]]s. The final battle, [[K. Rool's Kingdom]], also takes place within a blimp. The levels' backgrounds consist of metal panels, pipes and machinery.
====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', there is a large airship-like vehicle owned by [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]] named [[The Flying Krock]], which resembles a crocodile-shaped helicopter. It originally appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', from which it retains its role.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', [[Kaptain K. Rool]] used the The Flying Krock ship to kidnap [[Donkey Kong]], and escape to the top of [[Crocodile Isle]]. The Flying Krock area contains two levels. The first is [[Screech's Sprint]], where the Kongs must race [[Screech]] to the finish line. The second level is the boss battle against Kaptain K. Rool.

The Tikis also use these as weapons to bump into the Kongs while they ride [[Rocket Barrel]]s. The Tikis even watch the battle with [[Thugly]] from an Airship. The [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide refers to these airships as '''Tiki Airships'''.<ref>Knight, Michael. 2010.

Although airships themselves do not appear in their usual form in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', the [[Axem Rangers]]' ship [[Blade]] has a similar role to airships, only in this case being the boss arena for the Axem Rangers at [[Barrel Volcano]] (and to a certain extent, a boss in his own right).

The [[Rainbow Cruise]] stage featured in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Of note is that this interpretation of the Rainbow Ride airship is actually more airship-like than the original one, while ''Super Mario 64'' showed it to only have wings keeping it afloat. The [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] also gives it the propellers common on traditional Airships. Additionally, a remix of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' airship music can be selectable for the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Luigi's Mansion]] stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
