Airship: Difference between revisions

TheyAirships first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where several Airships are used by the [[Koopalings]] in their invasion of the [[Mushroom World]]. [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] would need to avoid the various obstacles and the [[Rocky Wrench]] crew of an Airship to reach its main cabin, where the Airship's captain could be fought. If Mario or Luigi failed to conquer an Airship, it would fly away to another location on the world map. However, if the Airship was weighed down by an [[Anchor]], it would be unable to do so. After the [[Magic Scepter|Magic Wand]] is secured, the Airship vanishes, and Mario falls down into the castle and gives the scepter back to the [[Mushroom Kings|King]]. It may indicate the Airship is a creation of magic, although it is also likely that the wand transported him back to above the World's castle. In the original NES version, the Koopalings' Airships (and the [[Dark Land]] air force) and the sky backgrounds were given varying colors: brown with a light blue background for [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], green with a dark blue background for [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], blue with a yellow background for [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]], gold with a light green background for [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], blue with a light blue background for [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], turquoise with a yellow background for [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], and brown with a black background for [[Bowser]]'s air force. These were changed in the remakes, which depicted them with the standard brown color as well as a stormy background.
