An '''Airship''' (also known as '''Doomship''' in the cartoons) is a large, propeller and [[Rocket Engine]]-driven ship that can soar through the sky. Airships are most commonly equipped with [[cannon]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. One airship, featured in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' is commonly used by [[Bowser]] and the [[Koopalings]], and [[Princess Peach]] is usually kept captive here until [[Mario]] and his friends storm the airship late in the game, at which point she gets taken away to [[Bowser's Castle]].

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the race course [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]] appears in the Star Cup and partially takes place on an Airship, which is in the midst of attacking a collapsing fortress. Like the Airships of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Airship portion of Airship Fortress track is filled with Rocky Wrenches, Bullet Bills and Rocket Engines. Also of note is that more of the inner workings of Airships are seen in this game; the Airship explored features, in addition to the deck, a storage room, boiler room, and a very large cannon.

[[Image:CartoonDoomship.jpg|thumb|right|Bowser's Doomship from ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
A single Airship, owned by Bowser and only ever referred to ascalled the '''Doomship''', appeared regularly throughout ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; like its game counterparts, the Doomship was equipped with a large amount of artillery and also possessed a trait not seen in any game's featuring Airships, the ability to teleport to other locations. The Doomship was built by [[Ludwig von Koopa#DIC Cartoons|Kooky von Koopa]].<ref>According to the bonus disc on the Shout! Factory DVD set.</ref>
 
Several smaller airships (similar to the airships seen in {{world|8|airforce}} from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'') also appeared being piloted by [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy]] and Kooky in the episode "[[True Colors]]," being used to cover the [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s in paint. This airship model was also planned to be used by [[Rocky Wrench]]es according to some concept art seen in the Writers Bible, but Rocky Wrenches never used these smaller airships in the actual show.

==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
*The official [[Prima Games]] guide for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' calls the airships '''Giant Airships''' and in one page, '''Sky Ships'''.
*Princess Peach can be found on the airship in one of the official artworks for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''; however in the game, she only appears in the secret room where she is locked in when Mario rescues her in the end after defeating Bowser.
