In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the '''Zeeppelin''' appears, the blimp used to carry Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and some Toads from Peach's Castle to [[Pi'illo Island]]. The name "Zeeppelin" comes from the word {{wp|zeppelin}}, a rigid blimp invented in Germany, with an extra "e" to make it match many other spellings in the game (Zeekeeper, Zee Parts, etc.). During the flight, Luigi falls asleep and dreams of Antasma coming on board, which is when Toadsworth teaches Mario how to fight. After the fight, Luigi dreams that the Zeeppelin crashes, though in reality, it lands safely in [[Pi'illo Blimport]] (as stated by another Brock). | ||
