TheRocket[1] (orrocket),[2] also called theRocket Ship[3] (orRocketship),[4] is an item inSuper Mario Bros. 2 and itsreissues inSuper Mario All-Stars andSuper Mario Advance. It can be plucked from the ground, just likeVegetables, and acts as the "door" to the next area, takingMario,Luigi,Toad, orPrincess Peach upwards. After a certain height, the player's character jumps out of it, and it explodes shortly afterwards. After reaching the next area of the saidlevels, all characters except Luigi jump out of the Mini Rocket in a ducking position. The Rocket appears only inWorld 4-1,World 4-2, andWorld 7-1. In theSuper Mario-kun adaption, Mario, Luigi,Yoshi, and Toad defeatClawgrip with a rocket.
Rockets also appear inSuper Mario 3D World andits reissue. AfterMeowser is defeated, theSprixie Princesses build a rocket inWorld 1, which leads toWorld Star set in space. Rockets also appear at the ends of World Star andWorld Flower, both of which lead toWorld Mushroom andWorld Crown, respectively, after the players have met the requirements.
Rockets return inSuper Mario Odyssey, where they are known asMini Rockets.[5] Mario mustcapture them withCappy to use them, then the player must hold
or
to blast off. They land in a bonus area floating high in the air, and can return to the place they left either through the original rocket or with the rocket at the end of the area. Certain areas, such as thePicture Match accessible from theMushroom Kingdom, do not have a second Mini Rocket.
