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. |

| ==History==
| | 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. |
| ===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
| |
| Spring Topmen appear as uncommon enemies in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Like [[Spiky Topman|Spiky Topmen]], they charge at [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) while spinning rapidly, causing him to get knocked away dizzily if they hit him, but getting knocked away themselves if he [[spin]]s against them. Their upper half juts up on a spring and blinks orange when one is stunned by being hit with a [[jump]] or a spin, allowing Mario to bounce extra high off them and gently spin downwards, like with [[Spindrift]]s from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Unlike most other enemies in the game, Spring Topmen respawn if defeated, specifically by reappearing from a small black circle resembling a [[black hole]]; the only way for them to be defeated in the first place is to be spun into an [[electric rail]].

| A Spring Topman first appears in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]], near the area with the [[Water Shooter]]s after Mario spins a [[valve]] to turn the Water Shooters off. A similar robot known as a [[Sentry Garage]] appears atop the tower, and it can spawn [[Topmini]]s. Spring Topmen later appear as part of the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]'s Topman Tribe; one here can spawn a Topmini if [[stomp]]ed on.
