Wait?! What Happened To The SUNKEN GHOST SHIP? - Super Mario Discussion/Analysis/Theory/Origin 

MORE awesome videos to watch! - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cj8LB_oF6iA.html

Here’s what I thought happened: Normal Hammer Bros. are absent. So I think the Sunken Ghost ship held all the normal Hammer Bros. in it, and they all died, becoming the boos.

Here is what i think: We never saw Bowser in an airship in SMB. 3, so i think this could be the personal ship of Bowser. I could also explain, why it was so close to Valley of Bowser.

Oh yes, Sunken Ghost Ship, the only inconsistency in a game that otherwise makes complete sense

I always just assumed that they crashed into the rocks.

It's simple really, Bowser and gang were escaping the Mushroom Kingdom after the events of SMB3, got hit by a bad storm and were flown off course. They then crashed into the rocks at night when they couldn't see them and discovered the island and took it over. Then sometime later an unlucky princess arrived and got captured by Bowser while he was rebuilding his forces to launch a new attack on the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario Bros showed up before he could follow through on his plans.

Looks like the ghosts ship will only be a ghost story

Acutally, it makes a lot of sense. Don't overthink it.

You don't have to end every sentence as if you were a ring announcer introducing a fighter. I couldn't get past 1 minute.

It’s still possible that it’s a ship from SMB3, only it’s damaged from the crash

Your inflections are grating on my ears

I know this is all for fun, but did this dude just point out logistical impossibilities in game that has turtles flying airships, stop eating the mushrooms dude

The way you end your sentences. Ugh. It's like you're trying too hard to be Chills but failing horribly at it.

Dude, you need to get rid of that sing-song delivery. It's so irritating I left the video halfway through.

Our boy Dr.Wily will be soon our villain in Dragalia Lost new Event!!!!!

Robert Stack"Tonight on Unsolved Mysteries, Our first story is about the Sunken Ghost Ship, no one knows where it came from and why, it is a baffling mystery of the ages, where did the ship come from and how did it get there?"

So..that IS Bowswers Children.............. Right?? I mean which is it??

"[Magic Balls] were found in fortresses, and not in airships" Not entirely true. World 8 had an airship level which ended with a Boom-Boom battle for a Magic Ball. In fact, there were a few Boom-Boom battles that took place away from fortresses, so it stands to reason that there were more Boom-Boom-led airships than the game showed.

I have some thoughts. Hear me out. The sunken ghost ship belonged to Bowser Jr. Evidence: The design of the sunken airship is very different from the others. Bowser Jr. is Bowser's only biological child. The Koopalings are just other members of Bowser's species. As such, it would make sense for Bowser to grant his own child his best ship to work with while the others got more standard-issue models. SMB3 Ships: Mostly horizontal distance with little vertical distance. Held few if any troops and mostly relied on artillery. Only one closed off chamber reserved for a single Koopaling. Sunken Ship: Decent horizontal distance, arguably longer than a Koopaling ship. Two and possibly more floors. Could have easily carried plenty of troops, sleeping cots, etc. (Majority of the ghosts are found is a long corridor with large open rooms.) Several interior rooms, likely housing the invading ground troops. ... no "boss" room for Bowser Jr. ?? The construction of this ship had more ornate railings and interior framework than the Koopaling ships. Bowser only goes all out like this for himself or something important to him. Just saying. This is where things get strange but also lend clues to what could have taken down such a vessel. Floors 1 and 2 are completely underwater. Presumably a good ways below the surface of the ocean/lake the ship resides in as the Bros needed a pipe just to get there. Each floor of the ship is traveled between by a pipe. When we enter Floor 3, there's no water. We are in open air and falling. But there's also living troops, spike orbs, and lots and lots of regular and yoshi coins. Hmmm.... When we get to the bottom of this "floor", there is again water. It's not rising or falling and has a current, unlike the preceding floors. And there, on an island of stone blocks, rests a magic orb. Whatever Floor 3 was had a means of being sealed off from the rest of the ship. No water got down that pipe, but it also only came up so far from below. Strange for a sunken ship to have such a tall and wide room full of air and living creatures. Unless... There are no decorations in this room, no floor, and the only enemies present are major artillery and koopas that can fly. So what happened? And what happened to Bowser Jr. ? Theory: Floor 3 was "Bowser Jr.'s boss room. Bowser Jr. was the only "Koopa Kid" to have a clown copter like his Dad. Hence, would have been the only boss fight where the boss could fly. And we all know Bowser Jr. is pretty clever and plays far dirtier than the others. The paratroopas and spike orbs were there to help him if he got cornered. He was planning a fight with the Bros. What he couldn't account for were Yoshis mounting a defense. Green Yoshis are pretty passive, but there are multiple types. Blues fly, Reds breathe fire, and Yellow can shake the ground. Egg shells aren't much against enchanted wood and metal. But you know what is? Fire and blunt force. Blues carried the reds underneath the ship and they burned their way in. (No floor). While more Blues carried Yellows up above and carpet bombed the ship, making it hard to steer. Between losing control of the ship and the multi-angle attack, the ship went down. Bowser Jr. said "F this!" and dipped out by painting an exit out (to Isle Delphino). The paratroopas were now leaderless and surrounded. They panicked and surrendered. But what about the magic orb? Well, the magic orb is a self-destruct device for whatever it resides in. In SMB3 they are in fortresses. What happens when you touch it? You teleport away and fortress goes boom. Nice trick against two ground based Bros. Not so good against these strange creatures that can fly and eat the explosions. (Yoshis can eat fireballs.) Not much help. Why does clearing the ship make the entrance to Bowser Valley appear? Wouldn't you want to know if something happened to your kid? It was to alert Bowser that his son had fallen. Since Jr. used a different method to escape, the orb was never activated. And just to cover everything, the accumulated coins were likely from prior conquests before this fateful battle. Bowser, not being a brainy sort, probably left Jr. in charge of payroll for the troops.

It could also be a "retired" ship not needed anymore and just used until it wasn't needed and during a storm possibly crashed 🤔

Here is my theory. They listend toyou talk for 1 minute and decided this ship needs to go.

I thought smb3 was supposed to be a play? That's why it had the checkered floor and curtains

Here’s my theory: Bowser and some of his minions, and his kids were sailing the ship to transport Peach when she was visiting Yoshi, but crashed into some rocks, and had to take over the island, when escaping, the enemies couldn’t jump, remember, the enemies can’t jump. The cannons and other weapons were lost in the sea. The enemies became the boos, then the koopa kingdom made sure they brought every Super ball to defeat every dinosaur, and make sure mario couldn’t use them. They were rushing to get every Super ball and dropped a few. They hid the Super balls and used them to enslave the dinosaurs to make them enemies and built some castles, and others. The koopa king also made a man made cave hideout (the bowser cave head) as a last resort in case Mario could defeat him. And in the end Bowser went there after the last boss.

It is believed that the ship wreck was one of the airships that Mario beaten in super Mario bros 3 and the boos are the lost soul of enemies that you killed on the airship.

IIII Liiiiike to drawwww ouuuuuut everrrrry worrrrd IIIIIIII saaayyyyyyy

Given the amount of crates it held, maybe it was overweight, putting her landing configuration seriously out of spec for her helmsmen. (this is also one of the main reasons why IRL many emergency landings begin with an ATC-coordinated fuel-dump)

Why doas the dark spot of the water inside the stone ring kinda looks like a Yoshi head?

Saying Its Mario But Is Luigi Smh Give That Man Luigi Some Credit

Maybe a Boom Boom was travelling in the airship and with the crash it died, causing the magic ball to be released.

I love reading too deep into unknown background stories of games. BTW, it was xenomorphs they were transporting and terrible things happened, of course.

I don't know probably the big rock in front of the ship in the thumbnail

Do the evolution of samus

0:16 Does anyone remembered that at the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy 1, the UFO flys around the castle, I think it's these aliens on the left side were the ones that controlled it.

I dig the eerie tune in the background, really matches the ambience

every time you say "but this doesn't make a lot of sense," you're wrong.

Those magic balls WERE in airships in SM3. U never played the 8th world? U know some airships had Boom Boom in them? With the Magic balls? Ffs, some ppl know nothing lol

Wily, yoshi' island is the sequel to Mario world so they wouldn't have known what the kooper troopers were

I really appreciate the infos in the video but I gotta be real honest here (I never thought it would be possible) but listening to you lowkey hurts my ears. Try to get a VA.

4:47 Luigi is kinda weird...

Those are actually some pretty interesting theories. I had a feeling that the manual would reference super Mario Brothers 3 when it came to that ship

I HAVE NO IDEA

Can you find the hidden weegees in the video? If so leave a comment with the time stamps and have a special shout out hidden in the next video!

Dude you have an interesting way of talking. You voice goes up and down. You sound like a news reporter.

More Important Question: why didn’t the SMW cartoon do an episode centered around the ship to tie things back to the Mario 3 cartoon? I can think of some reasons, but it would be interesting to know.

your voice just stop

Sunken sounds scottish

So that's why there's only 7 koopalings.

This is hilariously pedantic. Please seek help.

I though SMB3 was a state play?? So, would Bosses use a prop from a play??

The ship carried the 8th koopaling, Bowsette.

It could possibly be Bowser's airship...

Simple explanation. Bowser and his Koopa army crashed. He seals up the Yoshi's, then learn that Peach was on the island.

Thanks Dr Wily this definitely give me something to think about

In Super Mario Bros. 3 the Koopalings took over the 7 countries of the Mushroom World, not the entire world. Dinosaur Land is not located within the Mushroom World.

Your explanation makes more sense, I still like the idea that it's one of the ships Mario and Luigi took down in 3. It kind of gives the level this eerie edge that the spirits are trying to get revenge on the brothers responsible for their deaths.

Really interesting video Wily, what an amazing game to cover too! :D

Super Mario 3 was a stage play. Lol. So it was a stolen set piece I guess…?

I thought this sunken ship was some normal ship from an unknown shipyard that was designed For war. With all of those navel guns and numerous ghost sailors onboard.

My theory is that after Mario 3. Bowser rounded up all the koopalings and escaped to Dino Island. Bowser ordered them to kidnap all the Yoshis and seal them away in “!”blocks. Next the koopalings created their own Hotels/Castles as their own bases in every section of the map. While they were doing that Bowser was off searching for a place to create his own hotel. Unfortunately on the way there a terrible storm began shaking the ship and making it difficult to steer through the ocean. Crashing into large rocks. Bowser saw that there was no way to save the ship or it’s mates so he took off in his clown carrier and headed towards the Destination of where his Hotel would be best suited. Leaving behind all of his men who even after death still hold a grudge against the mario bros after their last failure in Mario 3. The mario bros go through all the levels defeating the koopalings one by one. Unfortunately they would be horribly injured based on their absence in Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy. Bowser wouldn’t realize his kids were in critical condition until after he was defeated. Enraged. Bowser would then take the battle to peach’s castle in the mushroom kingdom and have another son named Bowser Jr.

I don't mean to be a dick, I just mean it in a constructive kind of way. But the inflections at the end of every single sentence are something to work on. We all have our own speech patterns and vocal pauses. And I know RU-vid comments aren't generally a place for constructive feedback. Just thought I'd throw it out there for you. Still enjoyed your video.

You know, one thing that I was waiting on for suggestions of HOW it came down and crashed was a possible accident. Think about it: These are big airships decked out for war. What if there was a misfire, or some gunpowder got ignited and catastrophically damaged the ship and made it crash in the ocean? There are so many cannons and workers (that throw wrenches) seen in SMB3, and it just seems like it's such a busy ship that needs to be maintained.

It would make sense if it was trying to get into the valley of boweser. It was able to open the valley once you beat it right? What if the helmsman screwed up and crashed on the way. That’s why it next to the valley and can open it. This is a sick theory though.

I thought it was common knowledge that this was the Doom ship the Koopas escaped in after Super Maro Bros. 3. I think is explicitly said so in a Nintendo Power magazine or something like that.

For me English language is complex, but undertand you and without susbtitles it is imposible and I got lost in the main details. Would be nice if you subtitle your videos in Spanish.

Topic looked interesting but was afraid it would have some obnoxious commentary like most of these type of videos have. Fear confirmed.

i got it! you know how the shy guys have a pirate crew that mainly appeared in yoshi island what if since we see no shy guys in all of the mario games other than yoshi games maybe that was the fate of them. the shy guys on land had all been eaten by all of the yoshi's and when the shy guy pirates left they could have crashed into the rocks and turned into boos

I think it's Mortons he has boxes on his airship he used his magic wand and turned something in to a bullet bill and he sat on the bullet bill and flew to safety that's my theory

It's called bowser valley which would mean it's the area at the base of mountains so those rocks must be mountains. Ship crashed in to mountains

What if this was a ship with good people transporting cargo, and they got ambushed by thowmps in disguise. The people died and turned to boos.

i know SUPER DUPER late but the ghost ship is in mario 64 jolly roger bay just it lost its sail and wheel

Spoiler: it’s the Doom Ship 🚢 from Super Mario Bros 3... how do you know BUT NOT know?!

2:22 Yeah, no, you can’t just casually disregard canon like that. That’s not how theories work.

In the 8th world in smb3 There was a ship and tanj levels that ended with orbs and boom boom. Soooo yea.

If the ship is from super mario bros 3, what if there used to be 8 koopalings, but one died from the crash.

Yes this is a mystery. This ghost ship is just mysterious. And the boos are hanging out there. This is very haunted.

I just assumed bowser rode it (flying ship) after super Mario 3 to his cave.

SPOILER: Your voice tone sounds like a air raid horn, that's what happened to the ship lol!

Biggest plot twist: The Sunken Ghost Ship is the titanic

I think when Mario destroys an airship one of them might gone to dinosaur island and crashed

They told you why the valley of bowser was there. You read it in the manual...

It is the ship from world 8 in super mario bros. 3 it does have a magic ball

Duh you didn’t know that bowser thought it was Mario so he attacked the airship

Super mario bros 3 is a stage play but maybe the airships are from 3d land

Remember.....SMB 3 was a theatrical performance, as confirmed by the maker decades later...this was either his real ship or the play production crew had to reassemble the ship somehow within their budget....

Damn illegal koopa troopers. Invading like always...

I have an theory that's just the alpha version of the titanic event

Question mark ending from World 8 Airship

Bro. It's the air ship.. your thinking too hard about it..

Take a shot every time shrugging blue link appears

What about the sunken ghost ship in new super Mario bros U

If you finished the bowser castle luigi red eye

My theory is that it is the same ship from super Mario 64

Super Mario bro’s three is just a play

Conspiracy theory LMAO

Burger King Foot Lettuce You Are Not.

What about the secret coin ship in smb3

For some reason this kinda creeps me out

annoying news broadcasting style of narration.

Why do u talk like that

3:47 What if those Koopas are actually an illusion being made by the Boos to show how it all happened? And we using the star represent Bowser, and this ship was the one Bowser used to escape after SMB3, which was clearly damaged and crashed in Dinosaur Island ending with the lives of many Koopas in the ship, but some of them survived and part of these were Bowser and the Koopalings, and the Magic Ball belonged to a Boom Boom that was escaping with Bowser as well, which died in a really horrible way by smashing into a rock. Edit: *or maybe the star was used for Mario to not be able to get damaged to show how its just an illusion and it doesnt really affect Mario* Second edit: *What if it was damaged because of the Mushroom Kingdom attacking then? Remember that the Dinosaur Island is not really that far from the Mushroom Kingdom, so they could easily escape from it into Bowser's Valley but it was still damaged and crashed right in the entrance*
