Not to be confused with Propeller Box.

The Propeller Block is an object in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Description[]

The Propeller Block is a type of block that is colored navy blue and has two white eyes and a yellow propeller on top. The Propeller Block functions like the Propeller form, as the player can shake the Wii Remote to have the character fly into the air before floating back down. Unlike the Propeller form, the Propeller Block can launch the player upward as many times in succession as desired without having to land before flying again. The Propeller Block can also help clear away fog.

Super Mario 3D Land has an equivalent to the Propeller Block titled the Propeller Box, which Mario or Luigi wears over his body.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii[]

Propeller Blocks appear at least once in every world except World 1, especially in sky levels or in areas with items and platforms requiring the Propeller Block to reach. Propeller Blocks cannot be taken into Warp Pipes nor other levels.

Crossover appearances[]

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)[]

In the Golf and Golf Plus events, the golf ball briefly turns into a Propeller Block if it goes out-of-bounds or lands into water to return to its previous location.
