Can you go up into pipes using Propeller Mario's Propeller jump?

Question

I know this may seem obvious to many, but I have had trouble going up into pipes when I've used the Propeller Jump. Does using that move prevent you from going into a pipe, or am I simply not aiming well enough?

Answer

Yes, you can, and there are at least a few pipes that are really only accessible in this way, particularly in single player. Here's a video example of one such pipe (Note: this does contain something of an exploration spoiler):

As I recall, you can simply hold the up button as you propel yourself upwards, so I would suggest trying that. That was typically pretty consistent for me.

Question

My ten year old son spent several hours mapping out the Power Up Panels in New Super Mario Bro's Wii, and now he'd like to share his findings with the internet masses. The trouble is, I don't know much about where to share the fruits of his labor. I created a web page to host his maps:

http://JumpingFishes.com/PowerUpPanels .

Can you recommend a forum or other venue that would appreciate all of my son's hard work?

Answer

I usually look to gamefaqs.com. Though they are primarily limited to text-based data they do have a form to submit maps and images (and I think this qualifies).

Looking at the New Super Mario Bros. Wii section, I notice that there are already several FAQs that feature the same data collected by your son (though his versions are nicer looking). I would look into uploading it there anyway if he is so obliged, as GameFAQs is no stranger to redundancy.

Is there a way to get all the power-ups in the red mushroom houses in New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

Question

Are there any patterns to the power-up panels in the red mushroom houses in New Super Mario Bros. Wii? Is there a way I can tell where the Bowser/Bowser Jr. panels will be?

Answer

Each world has 6 possible panel combinations. There is a guide on GameFAQs detailing the different panel combinations, and which ones you should hit to test what the current arrangement is.

Also, here's a visual guide to the panels.
