A '''Spring Topman''' is a sub-species of [[Topman]], appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' as part of the Topman Tribe. It resembles a large green top. A Spring Topman can use a spin attack which does not damage Mario, but stuns and knocks him backwards. However, this spin could potentially be used to knock Mario into other hazards that may hurt him. If [[Mario]] tries to [[stomp]] a Spring Topman it's head will pop up, immobilizing it, and a second stomp will send Mario skyward similar to a [[Trampoline]]. Mario often had to take advantage of this to reach high ledges and items. If Mario [[Spinning|Spins]] a Spring Topman, it produces a [[Mini-Topman]]. The only way to defeat one is to spin it into an electric fence.

This green variant of a [[Topman]] first appears in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], near the area with the [[Water Shooter]]s. It only appears when Mario/Luigi spins a wheel, causing it to appear through a small, [[black hole]]-like vortex. A similar robot known as a [[Sentry Garage]] appears atop the tower, and can spawn [[Topmini]]s. Spring Topmen later appear as part of the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]'s Topman Tribe; one here can spawn a [[Topmini]] if stomped on. A Spring Topman can use a spin attack which does not damage [[Mario]], but pushes him away, possibly into other hazards that may hurt him.


If Mario tries to [[stomp]] a Spring Topman or [[spin]]s it, its head will pop up, immobilizing it, and a second stomp will spring Mario up for a jumping boost (similar to when Mario jumps on a [[Spindrift]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''). Mario must take advantage of this to reach high ledges and items. The only way to defeat one is to spin it into an electric fence.
