In The Swamp and Outside the Ancient Ruins, the Smash Skiff was seen carrying a captured Donkey Kong to the Isle of Ancients. Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, and Olimar ambushed the troops on it, freed DK, and rode the Skiff into the Subspace Bomb Factory as they fought enemies along the way inside the base to the Ancient Minister. The Smash Skiff is possibly a larger version of a Cargo.
