Bowser's Airship, also known as The Doom Ship in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and simply known as Bowser's Ship, is an airship with Bowser faces in the front and back. Like other airships, it's size and design varies from game to game.
History
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Bowser's Airship, referred as the Doom Ship, appears regularly throughout The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Like the airships in Super Mario Bros. 3, the Doom Ship is equipped with a large amount of artillery and also possesses a trait not seen in any games featuring Airships: the ability to teleport to other locations. According to the bonus disc on the Shout! Factory DVD set, the Doom Ship was built by Kooky von Koopa.

New Super Mario Bros. U
Super Mario Odyssey
Bowser's Airship, now colored white and purple and heavily decorated, appears in Super Mario Odyssey. The airship has undergone a small redesign, now sporting fifteen propellers instead of five, sails, what appear to be Power Moon tanks and a variety of smaller embellishments. Rather than the usual theme, the new airship theme from Super Mario Maker for the Super Mario Bros. style plays during scenes in which it flies away.
Mario Party 10
- “From here on, Bowser's ship will fire a Bullet Bill at the space it's locked on to! You'll lose half of your Mini Stars if a Bullet Bill hits you, so be careful!”
- —Blue Toad, Mario Party 10
Bowser's Airship also appears in Mario Party 10 on the Airship Central board, though only in the second and third sections on the board.
Paper Mario: The Origami King
- “Whaddaya think, Mario? We probably woulda used this against you! Maybe we still will. Don't look around too much when you're on board!”
- —Bowser Jr., Paper Mario: The Origami King
Bowser's Airship appears near the end of Paper Mario: The Origami King, after Mario and Olivia have destroyed all five streamers. It resembles one of the airships from Paper Mario: Color Splash but with the Bowser figurehead in the front and has eight propellers this time. It is stored inside a garage in an indoor hangar of Bowser's Castle until Mario presses a button (next to the one that Kamek had pressed by mistake) that makes the airship emerge from the garage and dock itself at the hangar. Once the remnants of Bowser's army all climb aboard, they travel to Peach's Castle, but are intercepted by King Olly's Paper Plane Squadron. The minions manage to fend some of them off with their own weaponry, while Mario picks up the slack via a Bob-omb cannon hidden within the ship's figurehead, but everyone is caught off guard when a particularly large plane crashes into the ship's side, sending it and its occupants crashing into Hotfoot Crater. Though the ship is beyond repair, its cannon is still functional, as Mario, Olivia, and Bowser use it to blast themselves the rest of the way to the castle.
