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.

[[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.

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.

A Collectible Treasure of Bowser's Airship (No. 112) can be found in the hangar of Bowser's Castle after Mario reaches Peach's Castle. It was initially bought by a Shy Guy who was excited about the airship, but became disheartened to the point of not wanting to keep it any longer after getting left behind at the hangar. Mario can return to the hangar to find this Shy Guy; when talked to, the Shy Guy will give the treasure to Mario.
