Propeller Mario

Propeller Mario is a power-up of Mario in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Mario gets this form after using a Propeller Mushroom. Its 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 interfere 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 Drill Spin which will make him fall faster to the ground and also act like a ground pound.



Appearance
When either Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad or Yellow Toad uses a Propeller Mushroom, they appear with a helmet that has a propeller on top. The side of the helmets shows the emblem of the specific character as seen by the red 'M' for Mario, green 'L' for Luigi, and the yellow or blue mushroom for the two Toads. They also wear a flight suit, and the color of both the suit and the helmet depends on the character.

Trivia

 * Mario cannot use the propeller when he is saving a Toad.
