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 their [[Propeller Mario|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 item was originally a [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|Propeller Suit]], acting much like a [[P-Wing]] suit with a propeller.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:Propeller.gif|thumb|x200px]]
Propeller Mushrooms are items in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. It first appears in the level [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-1]]. The Propeller Mushroom and [[Penguin Suit]] are the two newly introduced items in the game. Collecting a Propeller Mushroom plays additional "spin" effect atop the usual sound from collecting a power-up. The Propeller Mushroom lets the player fly through the air, spinning like a propeller, by shaking the {{iw|nwiki|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.

A player can grab onto another player who has the Propeller Mushroom by holding {{button|wii|1}} and shaking the Wii Remote; the player with the Propeller Mushroom can then shake the Wii Remote to launch them both into the air. If the player gets swallowed by a [[Yoshi]], they can shake the Wii Remote and fly out of the Yoshi's mouth. 

[[Propeller Block]]s work in the same way, though they need to be held, and can be used regardless of the holder's form.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Propeller Mushrooms are items in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. They act in a similar manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but a Propeller Mushroom 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 Luigi U'' and both iterations of the game included in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', the Propeller Mushroom can be obtained from [[Enemy Course]]s.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Propeller Mushrooms are items in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', exclusively in 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.

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', a fictional airline appears called Propeller Toad Transport, whose logo depicts a Toad utilizing a Propeller Mushroom. One of the cups added in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', the [[Propeller Cup]], is represented by a Propeller Mushroom, making it one of three mushrooms used to represent a cup in the DLC, alongside the [[Golden Dash Mushroom]] and the [[Rock Mushroom]].
