{{quote|Raise your elevation up to three times higher than usual by [[jump]]ing with the Propeller Box. You can rush back down, too.|Narrator|Super Mario Maker 2 – World Maker Update – Nintendo Switch}}
A '''Propeller Box''' is a [[List of Power-Ups|power-up]] that first appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. It is an orange block with eyes and a yellow propeller that characters can wear over their body. The blades of the propeller can be used to rapidly fly into the air to a great height, and then slowly fall back down towards the ground.

While [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] wears a Propeller Box, the player can press the jump button to make them fly up to a certain height. The player can then hold the button to make them descend slowly. The Propeller Box can be used to fly again once the character reaches ground. It is lost if the player is hit by an enemy or finishes a level, but an [[Extra Life|extra life]] is rewarded in the latter case. While wearing a Propeller Box, Mario or Luigi cannot [[Fire Mario|throw fireballs]] [[Boomerang Mario|or boomerangs]], or turn into a [[Statue Mario|statue]], but are still able to [[Tanooki Mario|perform a tail swipe]].

Propeller Boxes also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', where they act in a way similar to the predecessor, though the box color now changes depending on which character is wearing it. While Mario retains his orange box, Luigi now has a green one, [[Princess Peach]] has pink, [[Toad]] has blue, and [[Rosalina]] has cyan. The same power-up limitations from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' apply (including [[Lucky Cat Mario|the inability to turn into a statue]]), though the player can also still [[Cat Mario|perform a claw swipe]] and ride in an [[Ice Skate]]. In the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'',  Mario will lose his Propeller Box as soon as he starts swimming or hops on [[Plessie]]'s back.

Propeller Boxes were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, appearing exclusively in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style. While wearing one, the player is able to raise their elevation three times while jumping. In this game, the Propeller Box once again changes color depending on who wears it (with Mario now gaining a red one instead of it keeping its orange color), and it has three lights on the side to indicate how many times the player can use it before landing. Also, inactive boxes can no longer be stood on; instead, the player wears it instantly upon touching it.
