What kind of things are in the crates that appear in the doomship in SMB3 (and the cartoon, in which Boomerang and Sledge Brothers are always carrying, in "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel, a Boomerang Brother mentions that they have supplies), but what kind of supplies are they?

Raw data. It's too messy to carry otherwise.

My brain does stupid things when I‘m not looking.
That was a joke.

I think we should be asking, "Why did they fly low enough, with the anchor down, so that Mario could board the airship?"

For that matter, why do bosses always have a critical weak point that they reveal every 10-20 seconds?

Yeah, and why do villains always just announce their secret plans out to the world? They could simply not say anything, make a sneak attack, and then the player wouldn't know what to do.

Also goes back to the whole, "Why does Bowser have an axe sitting next to the only rope holding up the bridge suspended over lava that he's standing on? Why not simply wait for Mario, and when he walks onto the bridge, cut the rope yourself and see him "miss."

Take Paper Mario, for example.  Bowser could simply take the star spirits and keep them with him up in the castle insted of spreading them areound to places Mario can go.  Or he could, with the star rod, kill Mario once and for all.  But what fun would the game be if you started and the game said, "Hey, this was a waste of your money because, if you haven't noticed, Mario has been dead before you even loaded the game!."

Well they are probably just taking off from the castle as Mario arrives and just cant lift the anchor fast enough to prevent Mario's boarding.

The Mario cartoons would always announce the entire plotline as soon as the episode opens, making it unexciting. (i.e The Beauty of Kootie)

Doomship crates contain people that ask stupid questions.

I think it's a valid question.  In my opinion, they were probably carrying military supplies like bullet bills and bo-bombs and stuff.  And I would agree with popple, I don't think they were always flying low with their anchors down, they just happened to be docked (possibly unloading cargo?) when Mario/Luigi comes to the rescue, and they aren't quick enough in pulling away.  Thus allowing Mario/Luigi access to the ship.

The reason why the bad guys are very stupid and very revealing is because due to the fact that Nintendo are lazy with Super Mario while they put all their energy on just the gameplay...
That's what's good about Super Mario! The games makes you hands hurt, not your head...

Besides, Nintendo puts more effort into making the storyline for the Legend of Zelda...

I agree with kamikaze and though what she thought in the first place.  The crates might be carrying some kind of warfare, maybe food or tents.  I think another reason for the anchor hanging low is that because of the gross weight of the airship, it is very slow at resisting gravity to get in the air, especially when it is full

Erm... what do you do if Kamikaze Koopa is of the male gender?

Umm, Hope, the bosses from Zelda are just the kind Lizard Dude was talking about.
That was a joke.

I thought I was the only one who wondered what was supposed to be in those crates! My theory is represented in this dialogue sample from my fanfic, King Koopa Katastrophe Spoof.

Hammer Bro 1: Where do you want these supplies, your ultimate evilness?
Bowser: Mmmm, right there in the corner's good enough.
Hammer Bro 2: Hey chief! What the hell's in those crates, anyway?
Hammer Bro 1: Yeah, you're taking rather heavy luggage for a simple time-travel trip.
Bowser: They're my pornographic magazines! What did you think they were?! Ummmm... I mean, they're the secret plans for the HYPER-DEATH RAY I plan to build one day.

That episode was very badly-written IMO. For one thing, how could Toad's periscope somehow pick up audio as well as visuals? How did it end up on the Doomship if Toad left it in Bowser's throne room? Why didn't Mario, Luigi, and Toad just smuggle themselves into separate crates? Why is it that Mario, Luigi, Toad, Bowser, and Ludwig could still talk normally when they were turned into babies? Why didn't the lady see anything strange about talking babies? Why did she think Bowser and Ludwig were the plumbers she called? Shouldn't she have been expecting the Marios? Where were the Mario Bros. of the past, anyway? Why didn't they appear anywhere in the past depicted? And how did Toad somehow change back to normal simply by jumping in the Doomship's window?
But I blame all those goofs on the fact that it was written by Rowby Goren, who had earlier written the first season episode "Mario's Magic Carpet", which was also badly-written and full of plot holes. By comparison, the episode "Toddler Terrors" aired with, "Reign Storm", was less stupid, but was still dumb. Why didn't Mario or Luigi notice anything strange about the Robot Peach? Why were the Mushroom People blaming the recent accidents on the two guys who had saved their lives so many times? And does anyone else think Cutter really did blab to other people that he'd been hanging out with a Princess from a video game? And furthermore, why did all the Mario characters refer to Earth as "the Real World"? Did they know that they didn't actually exist?
Simply put, the Mario cartoons were not well-written.
Super Mario Bros. are cool like sunglasses!

It kinda looks like HTML, what with the things around a "B" and then a word, and then a things around a "/B" and stuff, looks like HTML with brackets, and capital i looks like lowercase L which both look like this key: /, I dont know what it is, though. 0 looks like O. Things on computers are all the same, G is starting to look like W and H is beginning to look like Z, which has been slowly flipping towards an N. I'm so confused.
