ThePropeller Mushroom (also known as thePropellerhead[1] orPropeller Suit[2][3]) is anitem introduced inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. The Propeller Mushroom is an orange-cappedmushroom with two light-yellow spots and a yellow propeller atop the cap. Obtaining a Propeller Mushroom turns the player into theirPropeller form, giving them a character-colored flight suit with a large helmet-like cap that has a propeller sticking out of it and the player's emblem emblazoned on its sides. If left alone, the Propeller Mushroom eventually flies out of the stage.
The item was originally aPropeller Suit, acting much like aP-Wing suit with a propeller.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Propeller Mushrooms are items inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. It first appears in the levelWorld 1-1. The Propeller Mushroom andPenguin Suit are the two newly introduced items in the game. Collecting a Propeller Mushroom plays additional "spin" effect atop the usual sound from collecting a power-up. The Propeller Mushroom lets the player fly through the air, spinning like a propeller, by shaking theWii Remote; afterward, they gently float to the ground, and their descent can be further slowed if the player shakes the Wii Remote while falling. Holding the down button makes the player spin downward like a drill for an attack with the same effects as aground pound. Propeller flight is not continuous, but after the player lands, they are able to take flight again.
A player can grab onto another player who has the Propeller Mushroom by holding
and shaking the Wii Remote; the player with the Propeller Mushroom can then shake the Wii Remote to launch them both into the air. If the player gets swallowed by aYoshi, they can shake the Wii Remote and fly out of the Yoshi's mouth.
Propeller Blocks work in the same way, though they need to be held, and can be used regardless of the holder's form.
