Nintendo launched its first console, the Nintendo Entertainment System™, in North America in 1985 and with it, introduced the popular Super Mario Bros.™ franchise. Mario™ has since gone on to star in many gaming adventures, becoming the pop-culture icon he is today. Along with his friends Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, and Toad, this classic video game hero has an enduring appeal for fans of all ages! The Deluxe Bowser's Airship is a propeller driven fortress created to bring your Super Mario™ playset dreams to life. Equipped with cannons, rotating propeller masts, wheels, and authentic in-game sounds, the Airship includes a two and a half inch Mario figure poised for victory. Roll the airship to activate spinning propellers and open the ship to store all your figures! Press the button to activate Bowser’s menacing laugh and other in-game sound effects. Mario must conquer the Airship to stop the invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom. It's up to you, Mario and his friends to defeat Bowser. This playset works with most two and a half inch figures. 2 x AAA batteries required (not included). Suggested for kids age 3 or older.

Cute Bowser ship

This Bowser ship is really cute! My 4 year old loves it! I wish it came with a Bowser, but it just comes with Mario so you’ll need to purchase additional characters. Wasn’t very hard to put together.

Packaging is misleading, it shows a huge Bowser figure standing on the ship. But it doesn’t come with the set! Only a Mario figure. Also, the box and all images show detailed windows but the stickers you get in box are just green squares.

my little ones love the mario toys, and they are all expensive and SO Cheaply made. theis one is much better than any other mario toy we bought. Dissapointed that the Bowser ship does not come with a Bowser figurine. it falls apart fairly often, but is easy to snap back together.

Chris - 2 months ago
This toy could have been so cool but the quality is awful. It comes in pieces and requires some basic assembly. This would be fine, except the pieces don't match up exactly. This is not user error on my part. The plastic pegs that are supposed to hold this ship tigether are too short, so the ship keeps popping apart to the point it's unuseable by my four-year-old. I'm considering clamping it together with superglue to keep it together, but this will make future battery replacement impossible. This ship is not worth the purchase and frustration, even on sale.

The size of the box and pictures are deceiving! Once put together it's fairly small. We separately purchased Ludwig and he's huge on the ship for being a bowser baby....disappointing for the price. Although my son loves it.

Perfect for an almost 5 year old. He loves his new Super Mario Bros Airship. It comes with 1 Mario character so be prepared to shell out the extra money for the complete action figure set. My son is easily able to take the top part of the airship off and put it back together. He loves this toy.

TLMKC - 3 months ago
After Luigi's manision I should have know. This is very well made, but.... Started the assembly with the batteries. (poorly placed compartment, you have to take it apart to change them) Checked the sounds, they cycled through, and then, got stuck on the music and would not turn off. Removed the batteries, the sounds cycled through, but the music was missing. Bowser's growls started on their own intermittently. Ok, so no batteries. Started assembly, design seemed ok and went together decently, instructions were adequate. Next the stickers. The yellow and teal for the lights would not seperate from their backing, and grandma here is a pro at this, tweezers and all. half the sticker card was defective. The circles with bowser did come off so I could put them on. Then the icing on the cake. Removing the figures, Peaches head is not attached and rolls out. The Jaxx Peach figures are junk anyway, and always first to break so on we went. The plastic ship is sturdy and well done, and it rolls well. No sound (might be a blessing for some) missing cabin and light stickers, and a headless Peach, which my Grandson didn't seem to care about. We have the Castle, best ever design, and the Haunted Mansion. needed a rubber mallet to get it to go together, but its been great. This is pretty good but has issues. Really wish the sound worked correctly. Would recommend but hang on to your reciept (this was a gift and the giver lost the reciept) you might need exchange it.

The colors are different than the picture in the box but not a big deal, the only thing I don't like is that you will have to take it apart to replace the batteries

Missing the back piece to keep the ship closed for storage. It isn't listed in the included pieces but shows how to assemble the part in the instructions. Able to see it in the pictures as well. Boat halves don't stay together well either.

This seems to not be designed for actual kids playing. It’s more display than anything. Breaks super easy. Flimsy plastic already has cracks after a month. Even the stickers were fragile on this. The Lego models of mario stuff are so much more sturdy and worth the $$.

Mine is a little defective but toy is COOL
3 out of 5 stars
Tiff - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
My son loves this. I would give it five stars but it came out of the box with the button that makes the sounds already sticking. It ends up playing the bowser airship song continuously instead of stopping after one round. My kids think that is awesome, which is why I haven’t returned it for a replacement but it is definitely going to run down the batteries and probably be broken sooner rather than later. My kids are still young (ages 4, and 6) and so are very hard on their toys, so for me, again, I’m keeping it. Hopefully it is just my specific one because otherwise this toy is actually pretty cool. The neighborhood kids loved it too (ages 8, 4)
