'''Drill Spinning''' is a technique used by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' This skill is preformed when one of the Bros. finds and jumps off a [[Spin Block]]. While he is in the air, the player should press Down on the D-Pad. This will cause the Bro. to move in a downward, drill-like spin. This allows Mario or Luigi to break multiple [[Brick Block]]s in a row.

The Drill Spin is a technique used by Mario and Luigi in New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and the Super Mario Maker games. The move causes Mario or Luigi to move in a downward, drill-like spin, which allows Mario or Luigi to break multiple Brick Blocks in a row. It also makes Mario or Luigi's descent much faster, though it restricts his horizontal movement.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

The Drill Spin appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, where it can be performed by characters in their Propeller forms when +Control Pad down is pressed. Unlike in the previous game, the Drill Spin from the Propeller Mushroom lasts only as long as +Control Pad down is held; the Drill Spin can be stopped and started several times in midair.
