Propeller Mario

Propeller Mario is a new power-up of Mario in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Mario gets this form after using a Propeller Mushroom. It's power is to propel up. When the Player shakes the Wii Remote in his or her hand, the character flies vertically up to get to high places, or escape from enemies. It can even blow away thick fog which can get into the player's view. Another player can pick up the player with the Propeller suit and then use him or her to launch themselves into the air as well, similar to the functions of a Propeller Block. After propelling themselves into the air, the character will fall gently back to ground by spinning around several times. If a ground pound is used at the same as the recovery while falling, the character will perform a torpedo like movement which will make him fall faster to the ground as well as act like a ground pound.

It is one of the first forms Nintendo has announced in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, on the E3 conference.
