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 retains his orange box, Luigi now has a green one, [[Princess Peach]] has pink, [[Toad]] has blue, and [[Rosalina]] has cyan.

Propeller Boxes were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, appearing 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 becomes red when Mario wears it, and it has three lights on the side to indicate how many times the player can use it.<ref>Nintendo (April 21, 2020).

Unlike a parade costume, though, the propeller isn't just for show - Mario can use it mid-jump to send himself soaring into the air, and then float gently back down to the ground afterwards!'' | |||
