'''Spring Mario''' is one of [[Mario]]'s forms in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. In both games, He is able to transform into it by collecting a [[Spring Mushroom]]. In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', the form first appears in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], and later in [[Matter Splatter Galaxy]] and [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]] (only in the [[Purple Coin]] mission "[[Beachcombing for Purple Coins]]"). As Spring Mario, Mario is able to jump higher but cannot run or [[spin]]. Instead, he perpetually bounces off the ground, making him harder to control and more prone to falling off edges or into hazardous places. Using this form, Mario is able to bounce very high to reach hidden items and areas by pressing {{button|wii|A}} upon touching the ground. He is also granted the ability to climb very steep inclines in a slinky-like fashion, and retains his [[Ground Pound]] as well, although the ground-pound will not stop him from bouncing, with the plumber immediately bouncing upon striking the ground. If Mario takes damage, touches water, or enters a [[Launch Star]] or [[Sling Star]], the form is lost.

Many of the locations Spring Mario is intended to be used can be circumnavigated via sequences of [[Somersault]]s, [[Wall Jump]]s, and spins (although using Spring Mario is recommended due to the latter strategy being more difficult); in fact, it is possible to collect every [[Power Star]] (including [[Green Star]]s) in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' without once making use of Spring Mario.

In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', [[Wario]] possesses a similar form known as [[Bouncy Wario]].

*'''Trading card:''' ''BOING! Here comes Spring Mario after he grabs a Spring Mushroom in the Toy Time Galaxy. Use the fun Mario transformation to jump higher than ever before - and jump jump everywhere for that matter (Mario can't run as Spring Mario). Using the Spring Mushroom, Mario will be able to find hidden items in the air and climb steep levels with ease.''

|desc=Boingee boingee boingee... It's Spring Mario, bouncing along and having a grand time! Just get a Spring Mushroom, and then press the A Button right when you land for a super-high jump! If you have a fear of heights, though, there's nothing wrong with staying in place and just bouncing a little.

|desc2=Boing! Sproing! Mario's turned into a spring! One touch of a Spring Mushroom and he becomes Spring Mario. He'll bounce SUPER high if you press the A Button right when he lands. Doesn't it make you feel like just bouncing on the spot? Boing, boing, boing...
