History

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

InNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Propeller Block has the same function as aPropeller Mushroom, with the exception that players can maintain the ability to use the Propeller Jump even after being hit as long as they are holding the block, and that they cannot take it intopipes. To use it, the player must pick it up (shaking theWii Remote and pressingOne Button) and hold it (by holding downOne Button). Then, the user must shake the Wii Remote anytime in order tofly. This block is found at least once in eachworld (except forWorld 1), usually in stages where fog is found and in places where there are hiddencoins orplatforms floating or in places beyond the reach of the player(s). Propeller Blocks are also used in the first battle withBowser Jr.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Propeller Blocks also appear in theNintendo 3DS version ofMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. In theGolf andGolf Plus events, if the player hits the ball into water or if it goes out of bounds, it transforms into a Propeller Block to return to its previous location.
