The Landship debuts in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as an unlockable kart body part. It grants the player a large acceleration boost and a slight handling boost, at the expense of speed, weight, and traction. It shares its stats with the [[Biddybuggy]] and [[Mr. Scooty]]. It changes color for all the [[Koopalings]], with the back cabin and cannon covers matching their airships from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and the seat matching their shell colors. All the other characters have a similar color scheme to Bowser's airship from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. | The Landship debuts in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as an unlockable kart body part.

The Landship is one of the vehicle bodies that a CPU-controlled Bowser or Koopaling will occasionally use, combined with [[Wood]] tires. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', CPU-controlled [[Bowser Jr.]] also occasionally pairs the Wood tires with the Landship, while Bowser now pairs the Landship with the [[Bowser Kite]] as well. While the Landship's ground speed, anti-gravity speed, and traction have improved, its air speed, acceleration, ground handling, air handling, anti-gravity handling, and mini-turbo are all weaker than before. | The Landship is one of the vehicle bodies that a CPU-controlled Bowser or Koopaling will occasionally use, combined with [[Wood]] tires.

The Landship's engine sounds like a four-stroke while idling, but sounds like a two-stroke while accelerating. In ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', it shares its engine sound with the [[Inkstriker]], which is that of a {{wp|straight-twin engine}}. | The Landship's engine sounds like a four-stroke while idling, but sounds like a two-stroke while accelerating.
