Propeller Mushroom

Mario after using the Propeller Mushroom.

The Propeller Mushroom is a new item to the series introduced by New Super Mario Bros. Wii. As the name implies, the item is used to let the player fly through the air, spinning like a propeller until gently floating to the ground. If no one reaches the item soon enough, the Propeller Mushroom will fly out of the stage. In order to activate the propeller, the player must shake the Wii Remote. Propeller flight is not continuous, but after the player lands he or she can fly again.

A player can grab onto another user who currently has the Propeller Mushroom. To do this move, the player must shake the Wii Remote. The Propeller Mushrooms's appearance is an orange-capped Mushroom with two light-yellow spots and a yellow propeller atop the cap. Getting a Propeller Mushroom turns the player into their Propeller form, adding a jumpsuit (in color of the character) with a large helmet-like cap that has a propeller sticking out of it and the player's emblem emblazoned on its sides. It debuts in world 1-1.

It was originally a Propeller Suit, acting much like a P-Wing-like suit with a propeller.
