In games where this default bounce does not go very high, characters can [[Spring Jump|spring-jump]] on a trampoline to achieve the standard "higher than jumping" bounce.  

In ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', a '''Jump Board''',<ref name=arcade>''Donkey Kong Junior'' [[media:DKJ Instruction Card.jpg|instruction card]]</ref> or '''spring board''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Jr.'' NES instruction booklet|page=6|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1985}}</ref> is prominently featured in the [[Jump Board Scene]]. [[Donkey Kong Jr.|Junior]] can use it to jump over a [[pit]]. As with most later games, the player can hit the jump button again with the right timing to perform a Super High Jump<ref name=arcade/> (or Super Jump).<ref>Instruction manual for the Coleco Adam port.</ref> This can allow the Jump Board to be used as a shortcut to reach the hovering platform above it, or even the ledge to the upper-left. The Jump Board closely resembles the harmful [[jack]]s from the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for the [[Game Boy]], '''Jump Stands'''<ref>Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' English instruction booklet. Page 16.</ref> appear. They are found throughout levels, and occasionally use varying designs. If Mario jumps on one, he can jump higher than usual. In addition, some Jump Stands can be placed through the use of square icons. When Mario jumps at a Jump Stand item, the game freezes and the player has to place the Jump Stand to any free point in the level. The Jump Stand is timed and disappears after the time has passed. This timer indicated with a music that starts playing as soon as the road is placed and gets faster gradually. The timer can be reset to 0 if Mario places another Jump Stand within the first Jump Stand's time limit, or any other placeable objects such as [[Road]]s, [[Ladder]]s, and blocks. After disappearing, the Jump Stand can then be reactivated.

'''Jumping boards'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' English instruction booklet. Page 14.</ref> (also referred to as '''Jumpers'''<ref>{{cite|author=Tochikubo, Hiroo|title=''How to win at Super Mario Bros.''|publisher=Tokuma Shoten|date=1987|isbn=4-19-720003-XC|page=7}}</ref>, '''Springs'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page=28|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}.</ref>, or '''Spring Blocks'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console digital instruction manual|page=10 and 13}}</ref>) first appear in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and return in its direct sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Upon pressing the jump button at the right time, [[Mario]] will jump with increased height.

In ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', a green variety known as the [[Super Spring]] is introduced, which further increases Mario's jump height with a well-timed press of the jump button.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', a smaller variant known as the '''Trampoline Floor'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'' instruction booklet|page=19|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> appears in the VS Game and [[You VS. Boo]] modes.

 

Jumping boards also appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. However, they are more difficult to activate due to their poor collision detection.

'''Trampolines'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' instruction booklet|page=19|date=2002|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' volume 4|page=13|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> (originally known as '''Jumping Boards''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=22|language=en-us|date=1991|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. This is the first game in which Mario and Luigi can carry a Trampoline, an ability that would later be carried on to future games, including the [[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]].

[[File:NSMB Tram.png|frame]]

[[File:SMG Trampoline.png|left|thumb|140px|A Trampoline]]

The orange springboards from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', having the same function as they did in that game. Additionally, a light-blue '''springboard''' appears in the game, which is square and marked with a pair of footprints, and can be used by simply jumping on it. Like the springboard it cannot be carried around. Three '''drums'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2: Prima Official Game Guide'', p.117.</ref> in [[Cloudy Court Galaxy]] share the same function as these trampolines, but are suspended in the air. [[Ground Pound|Ground-pounding]] a drum causes Mario to gain greater height.

 

Springboards return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', this time resembling their ''Super Mario World'' appearance. In this game, enemy springboards known as [[Hop-Chops]] make their debut. Hop-Chops often appear in groups where the player must find which is the 'correct' Hop-Chop that, rather than simply falling apart, will turn into a functional springboard upon defeat. When turned into a springboard, they function almost identically to their appearances in other ''Super Mario'' games: They can be carried with the run button, thrown, jumped on, and hitting them with a ground pound will cause the player to jump extra high. Springboards turn back into Hop-Chops after a short period of time if they are not attacked again.

A different type of trampoline, called a [[Jump Panel]], also appears in certain levels, where it normally does not cause the player to bounce, but pressing the jump button will cause it to launch the player to distant heights.

Trampolines return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', as items placed throughout the course. They are given new sprites in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' (resembling their ''New Super Mario Bros.'' appearance) and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' (resembling their ''Super Mario World'' sprite) game styles. Mario and various objects such as [[Bill Blaster]]s can bounce on them. They can be carried in all styles except ''Super Mario Bros.'', as Mario cannot carry any objects in that style. Trampolines can be turned sideways in editing mode, making them able to bounce back objects that run into them. In this form, however, they cannot be carried in any style except by [[SMB2 Mario]] in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style. The Trampoline also appears in the original ''Super Mario Maker'' as a [[Costume Mario#8|costume]]. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'', [[Hop-Chops]] also appear as an enemy in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, though they never break and jumping on them will always make Mario bounce.

''[[Super Mario Run]]'' uses a new variation of Trampoline. The top and bottom are yellow, and the inner portion is blue. A red arrow runs across the bottom and inner layers. Trampolines are triggered when a player taps while their character runs across its surface. It launches the player upwards. If the character is performing a [[Roll#Super Mario Run|Landing Roll]] on a Trampoline, the [[Roll#Super Mario Run|Rolling Jump]] and launch are combined. If the screen is held after the launch, the character will slowly spin as they descend, like a [[Spin Jump]]. Players can use Trampolines to reach areas too high to be reached via normal jumps or take advantage of the slowed descent to collect [[coin]]s.

 

 

 

 

In subsequent kingdoms, iterations of trampolines include food carts, parasols, {{wp|awning}}s, [[taxi]]s, and [[Mushroom Trampoline|big mushroom]]s.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', two types of trampolines appear: '''warp trampolines''' make the player escape to the [[Mario World|world map]], and '''smile trampolines''' make the player exit the immediate area and enter a neighboring location.<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' instruction booklet|page=16|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1996}}</ref> In the [[Mole Mines]], one smile trampoline is a trap with an unseen ceiling. When Mario uses it, he hits his head and falls unconscious, which is required to reveal [[Croco]].

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', two types of '''jump pads''' appear. Red ones launch Mario straight up towards a set location, while blue ones retain the player's control over Mario's jump and are rarer.

The first blue jump pad Mario encounters is in the back area of [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], where it can be used to get a [[Fire Flower]]. On [[Goomba Road]], the [[Red & Blue Goomba Bros.]] use a blue jump pad to descend from a ledge. After beating them, Mario can use it to continue to the [[Goomba King's Fortress]]. In the [[Toad Town]] sewers, a blue jump pad is used to reach the [[Power Smash]] [[badge]]. Two blue jump pad appear in the room where the [[Ultra Boots]] are found. Two more blue jump pads appear in [[Bowser's Castle]]. One of them must be uncovered using the nearby [[! Switch]].

At the west entrance to [[Toad Town]], Mario can use his [[hammer]] to knock a red jump pad out of a tree and get the [[Hammer Throw (badge)|Hammer Throw]] badge. Two red jump pads are found at [[Mt. Rugged]]. One is used to reach a slide and the other is used to exit the pit that contains the [[letter]] to [[Goompapa]]. In the [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], a red jump pad is found next to the [[Super Block]]. A red jump pad is found in one of the rooms of [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]] and at the bottom of the [[Windy Mill]]. Red jump pads are used to enter and exit [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]]. One red jump pad appears in [[Yoshi's Village]], where it is used to reach the [[Raven]]s. Three jump pads appear in the same large room inside [[Mt. Lavalava]]. Four jump pads appear throughout the [[Crystal Palace]]. A red jump pad is found within the cavernous room of Bowser's Castle.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', '''jump pads''' have been redesigned slightly, featuring four sets of yellow folding arms in a cross pattern with the platforms on the top and bottom now being identical. Jumping off of one makes the same sound as heard when using a trampoline in ''Super Mario World''.

====''Super Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', '''jump platforms''' feature slight differences to their previous model; notably the bolts connecting each segment are gone, new geometry was added towards the bottom, and new sound effects play when one is used. Similar to ''Paper Mario'', red ones launch the player's character straight up towards a set location and are typically used for vertical loading zones, while blue ones retain the player's control over their character's jump. The player can press {{button|wii|2}} when landing on blue jump platforms to launch higher, in a similar fashion as the 2D ''Super Mario'' games. This behavior is also shared with the [[Jump-over cloud]]s of [[The Overthere]], including [[Cyrrus]].

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', a trampoline themed after its ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' appearance appears in the [[Green Energy Plant]]. Another barrel-shaped trampoline is later seen onstage at the [[Emerald Circus]]; while fighting waves of enemies, this trampoline is set up for the [[Trampoline Shy Guy]]s to use. Ater battle, the trampoline remains as a way to access the top of the circus tent and fight [[Lemmy]] for the Green [[Big Paint Star]].

===''Wario World''===

[[File:Ghost Spring.png|thumb|200px|left]]

In ''Wario World'', spring-like trampolines appear in every [[trapdoor (Wario World)|trapdoor]] course, giving Wario a means of escape. There are also a number of springboards outside of trapdoor rooms that boost Wario up and over walls and cliffs, taking the form of a rabbit. Additionally, a small ghostly pair of springs appear in [[Captain Skull|Captain Skull's Showdown]].

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====

{{M&L attack infobox

[[File:Trampolinemlpit.png|thumb|left|The Trampoline in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'']]

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Trampolines are powerful [[Bros. Item]]s that require the availability of all four Bros. Each Bro. [[jump]]s onto the Trampoline and stomp on the foe in a random order. If timed correctly, they jump back onto the Trampoline. If timed poorly, they will knock the Trampoline away, until all four Bros. fall. It functions similarly to the [[Cannonballer]], except attacks can be landed indefinitely.

Additionally, small yellow trampolines appear in the overworld throughout the game. If the adult Bros. jump on one, regardless of whether or not they are piggybacking the babies, the trampoline will release air and deflate due to their weight. However, if only the baby Bros. jump on it, it will launch them high up into a different area.

 

The [[Jump Helmet]], used in the Special Attack of the same name in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', resembles a [[Buzzy Beetle]] shell with a springboard attached to the top. For the attack in question, Luigi wears the helmet on his head, while Mario jumps off it to build up power for a stomp on the targeted enemy. The springboard has a star on the surface that Mario jumps off. Both the attack and the item that is involved in it return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]''.

 

Springs are common objects in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', springs do not have enough force to launch Mario in the air, requiring the player to press {{button|gba|A}} while Mario is on a spring to use a [[Spring Jump]]. The [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue|remake]] of [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|the game]] also introduces a new type of spring that can be carried, featured in some new levels in [[Merry Mini-Land]] and [[Slippery Summit]]. These springs reuse their design from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.

 

Springs continue to appear in subsequent ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' games, where they can be used to bounce [[Mini]]s to higher positions. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', two types of springs appear, known as [[Yellow Spring]]s and [[Blue Spring]]s. The player must swipe up on a Mini using the {{button|ds|Stylus}} stylus to make the Mini jump onto a spring. Yellow Springs launch a Mini in an upward arc, while Blue Springs launch a Mini in a forward arc. ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'' features both of these springs, as well as [[Box Spring]]s that can contain either type of spring.

 

''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' replaces these springs with [[Long Spring]]s, which function like Blue Springs, and [[High Spring]]s, which function like Yellow Springs. These springs are resource objects which can be picked up and placed in different locations. Both of these springs reappear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'', while Long Springs also reappear in ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]''.

 

Springboards appear in two colors in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'': green springboards are fixed in place, and orange springboards can be picked up with [[Perry]], moved via [[Poundbrella]], or bounced off of [[Princess Peach]]'s body by touching the side. Additionally, green springboards come in two sizes: normal or giant, which has a slightly longer charge time and allows the player to reach greater heights.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the [[smashwiki:Spring|spring]] from ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' appears as a regular item. If jumped on, a player will be launched in the air much higher than with a normal jump. If the spring is knocked on its side, however, the player will be launched sideways. A different kind of springboard also appears as a stage element throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], including [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] and [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]].

 

Trampolines appear in several levels in ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' as yellow springs, often line up in a row. Pressing {{button|wii|2}} as the player makes contact with one gives a higher bounce, and [[Ground Pound]]ing it will give even greater height. They are especially prominent in stages such as [[Wreck Train]] and [[Mount Bighill]].

|desc=A strong spring that can bounce you higher than you've ever been before. If you throw this down while you're in midair, you'll get a boost and sail even farther into the air! Try to be careful, though, since this spring may fall on its side and end up launching you sideways instead of up.

|desc2=Jump on this to jump higher than you ever have before! Throw it in the air, then land on it to jump even higher! Then use special attacks, or even do another jump in mid-air! If it's lying on its side, though, just bumping into it might be enough to launch you off the stage. You don't want that, so be careful!
