Editing Propeller Mushroom

The '''Propeller Mushroom''' (also known as the '''Propellerhead'''<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 9.</ref> or '''Propeller Suit'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 23.</ref><ref>https://media.nintendo.com/mariobroswii/power-ups/</ref>) is an item introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. The Propeller Mushroom is an orange-capped [[mushroom]] with two light-yellow spots and a yellow propeller atop the cap. Obtaining a Propeller Mushroom turns the player into [[Propeller Mario|their Propeller form]], giving them a character-colored flight suit with a large helmet-like cap that has a propeller sticking out of it and the player's emblem emblazoned on its sides. If left alone, the Propeller Mushroom eventually flies out of the stage.

The Propeller Mushroom debuts in [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]], and it is one of the main power-ups of the game, alongside the [[Penguin Suit]]. When collected, the power-up sound has an additional "spin" effect. As the name implies, the Propeller Mushroom lets the player fly through the air, spinning like a propeller, by shaking the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]; afterward, they gently float to the ground, and their descent can be further slowed if the player shakes the Wii Remote while falling. Holding the down button makes the player spin downward like a drill for an attack with the same effects as a [[Ground Pound|ground pound]]. Propeller flight is not continuous, but after the player lands, they are able to take flight again.

This item reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' acting in a similar manner to the Wii version, but the object can only be found in a [[Toad House]] from [[Superstar Road]], and the player does not spin around as fast when flying compared to the previous game. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'' the Propeller Mushroom acts the same, but can now be obtained from [[Enemy Course]]s.

 

In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', the Propeller Mushrooms can once again be found in the [[Superstar Road]] Toad Houses, as well as from Enemy Courses.

Propeller Mushrooms reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', exclusive to the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. In the nighttime ground theme in ''Super Mario Maker 2'', Propeller Mushrooms fly in random directions a few times before flying away.

*'''North American website bio:''' "''Hover like a little helicopter with this power-up.''"

*'''European website bio:''' "''Perform a Propeller Jump to reach those high places, and slowly descend downwards. You'll need to touch the ground before being able to soar upwards again, so don't count on being in the air for too long!''"
